The web is rife with speculation at the moment concerning not only Peter Taylor's future but also that of former Spurs coach George "Gimmer a bung" Graham.

Rumours have persisted about Graham coming to City for quite some time now and were intensified just before the end of the season when City were in free fall down the Premier Table.

Several online news sources are suggesting that Graham could be given the job of Technical Director, freeing Peter Taylor up to do other things.

City's official site were quick to squash these rumours, which originally appeared in the Daily Mail Newspaper,with Chairman John Elsom saying, "Much of the wording in this article is journalistic conjecture. There has been no discussion whatsoever about the possibility of bringing in a general manager.

"The Football Association have not, as yet, approached me regarding the services of Peter Taylor for their training sessions next season.

"However, in discussions with Peter, I have made it clear that we would not be able to countenance releasing him for the Holland game in the week prior to the start of the Premiership season.

"If the FA do approach me with regard to subsequent matches next season I will consider the matter in the light of the discussions I would have with them at that time."
