Peter Taylor has admitted for the first time that he fears getting the axe at Leicester if his results do not improve.

Peter Taylor said, "I think our performance on Saturday has probably shortened my time here if we carry on like that and because of the run last year people may have given me eight games," he said. "If that run continued I would be struggling.

"To hear 'Taylor out' cries after one game I don't think is very helpful. I don't think that is enough time, I don't think that is fair. But I understand it and understand that certain directors might lose patience.

"The fans that want me out are the noisiest. I think a lot of the fans on Saturday realise I couldn't have done anything. It is something that happened. But they are the quiet ones. Hopefully the quiet ones win."

"Wherever I've been I have built a decent team and it will happen here given time."

According to Guardian Unlimited a senior player, who did not want to be named for fear of reprisals said, "We know we have to put in a good performance against Arsenal and unless we do that Peter could be sacked," the player said. "And even then only a win against Ipswich in our next home game will do. The players know our performance against Bolton was unacceptable and we're desperate to put things right for the manager."
