Leyton Orient boss Slade finds West Brom link "nice"

Leyton Orient boss Russell Slade is happy to be linked with West Bromwich Albion.

Slade insists he is focusing on nothing but Leyton Orient's League One play-off final at Wembley on Sunday amid interest from West Brom.

He said: "It's been brought to my attention, I honestly didn't know about it before.

"Other than my chairman banging on about how good I am it's probably appreciated in other quarters the kind of job we've done here.

"It's nice to be recognised for the work we've done on no money and had a relatively successful season. It will only be truly successful if we get promoted on Sunday."

He added: "It's nice to be linked to a Premier League club when you're a League One manager, of course.

"But the total focus is my football club. For me, I just want to get us up into the Championship. I've got a two-year deal here."
