Blackburn Rovers manager Gary Bowyer has insisted that he is not naive enough to think that his job at Ewood Park is permanent.

The 41-year-old was appointed as the permanent boss following a second stint as interim manager during a season in which the club had four different managers.

"They've not said 'regardless of what happens you are here all season,'" Bowyer told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"I've grown up in the industry all my life so I know what it's about. If we were to lose three games on the trot then there would be pressure."

Meanwhile, Bowyer has reiterated that the club will not sell striker Jordan Rhodes this summer.
