Laws happy at Hillsborough

Burnley approached The Owls earlier this week to see if they could talk to Laws but the Hillsborough hierarchy turned down their wish to start negotiations.

"When another club want to speak to you it's obviously because they think you're doing something right, so in that respect Burnley's approach is flattering," Laws told PA Sport.

"It gives you confidence and is a nice feeling - because not so long ago we were struggling here. But I know what I'm doing is right. Sheffield Wednesday have said no to Burnley, so that's the end of it.

"I'm committed to this club and certainly don't see my future anywhere else at the moment."

Laws is concerned about the number of managers leaving their posts this season with SEVEN Championship bosses leaving their respective clubs already this campaign.

Preston's Paul Simpson, Burnley's Steve Cotterill, Leicester City's Gary Megson (after a brief spell which saw him move to Bolton) and Martin Allen, Norwich City's Peter Grant, Crystal Palace's Peter Taylor and QPR's John Gregory have all left their posts and it's a worrying statistic for Laws.

Laws could have even been one of them but his team pulled a rabbit out of the hat during the Blackpool game when it looked like the former Scunthorpe manager's time at S6 was up.

He added: "What does concern me, though, are the horrendous statistics on managers in the Football League.

"Burnley's approach for me means there has been yet another casualty and the fact Aidy Boothroyd is the longest-serving manager in the Championship with not even three years yet at Watford is just ridiculous."
