Chris Wilder: Middlesbrough boss committed despite Burnley speculation

Despite speculation linking him with the Burnley job, Chris Wilder has reassured fans that he is all in for the immediate future at Middlesbrough.

Although the 54-year-old is keen to manage in the top flight again, the aim is to do so with the club.

In November, Wilder took over the 14th place team in the Championship and has steered them into a play-off position.

"I've always been incredibly committed," he told the radio station.

As long as the chairman knows that, I am all in, and that is all anyone needs to be concerned about.

I would like to work in the premier league with Middlesbrough.

My sole aim is to affect results and improve the football club, we have done that in a short space of time and I am excited about the future.

The draw with Bournemouth and defeat by Huddersfield Town have made the final four games more difficult for the Teessiders.

The former Oxford United and Northampton Town boss does not want the media speculation to be used as an excuse for a dip in form.

I had a lengthy meeting with the chairman. If anything happens on either way there will be a discussion.

There is nothing to discuss because nothing has happened. He knows my commitment to the football club and I don't just jump from job to job.

We were talking yesterday about what we can do to make the team look better in the summer, and what we can do to make the training ground better.

There is a lot of work to be done and I don't want us to come up short.

I want to get back into the premier league and achieve the targets we want to achieve. There is still life in our season, which I have talked to the players about.
