Blackpool boss Paul Ince plays down speculation linking him with the manager's job at Leicester City.

Blackpool manager Paul Ince has dismissed speculation that he is set to take over as manager of Leicester City.

The Foxes were reportedly lining up Ince as a potential replacement for the under-fire Nigel Pearson.

However, Ince has said that he is committed to his job at Blackpool.

"As far as I'm concerned, my job is here at Blackpool, I'm enjoying it," he told the Blackpool Gazette.

"There was a situation, maybe four years ago, when Leicester tried to take me. I felt then it wasn't the right time. I presume this time they are putting two and two together and coming back with five.

"It's nice to be linked with clubs, don't get me wrong, but this club needs stability. It needs to stabilise."

Ince was appointed Blackpool manager in February following the departure of Michael Appleton.
