"I don't ever get used to it, but I would say in general it is always flattering that there are rumours out there.

"I have said before that I am very, very pleased working for Brentford. Happy here.

"What happens in the future, you never know. What happens in 10 years? Will I stay here forever? Probably not.

"Even Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, they ended their eras or their jobs at a certain stage.

"I don't know, but I'm very happy right now."
