After Peter Taylor called for some clarification from the board over his future with Leicester this weekend, City supremo John Elsom has assured him that he has the backing of the board.

"Let's make it quite clear" Said Elsom, "Peter is not being judged on a match-by-match basis.

"There has been a tremendous amount of speculation about Peter's future and we have seen all sorts of stories being written.

"Peter Taylor is the manager of Leicester City, full stop. These stories can potentially have an unsettling effect and I am now spelling out the situation.

"Our performance against Ipswich was a big improvement and is something which we are all desperate to build upon.

"Stories about the next game being Peter's last are not helpful. What we now need is for everyone to get behind him and the players and for us all to pull together.

"I have every confidence in Peter to get matters right. The response of supporters was magnificent against Ipswich on Saturday.

"Now we need to move forward and I am confident we will be able to do exactly that."

Although stories are still circulating that Peter Taylor does not have the full backing of every member of the City board, it now looks like his future is secure, even if it is just for now.
