Burton Albion boss Rowett rejects Blackpool job

Burton Albion manager Gary Rowett won't consider taking the Blackpool job.

Following discussions with Seasiders chairman Karl Oyston, Rowett has opted to stay at the Pirelli Stadium.

Rowett said in a statement on his club's official website: "Following discussions with Blackpool, I have decided that I will remain at Burton Albion for the foreseeable future.

"I feel as though it is not the right job for me at the present time.

"We've made an excellent start to this season, winning seven out of eight games, and I feel we have an excellent group of players in the squad currently.

"I enjoy working with them immensely and this is a very exciting time to be involved at Burton Albion."
