It comes with the territory; its part of the job and it doesnt worry me too much. Ive just got to get on with my job because its a job Im very privileged to do.While Poching will take temporary charge, the task of finding a successor will almost certainly fall to Jamie Peacock, the former England captain and Leeds and Bradford forward who took up the clubs newly-created role of football manager at the start of the season.At a press conference later on Wednesday, Poching spoke of his ambition to become a head coach.

I love coming to work every day.Asked if he would like the job on a permanent basis, Poching said: Definitely. Ive waited almost 10 years for a chance to come along.
