Billy Davies insists he is not worrying about the impact any boardroom changes at Derby County could have on his job.
The Rams are seeking new investment and reports suggest former Hull City owner Adam Pearson is ready to plunge his money into the club.
It has led to suggestions that Davies' post could be under threat, particularly with Derby second bottom in the Premier League.
But Davies, who led The Rams to promotion in his first season at Pride Park, insists he is not fretting about his future.
"What has happened to Sammy Lee and Martin Jol has surprised me and it has been wrong in my humble opinion," Davies told reporters.
"But I don't think about whether I will get time to do what I want at Derby County. I don't care about that. I work very hard. I spend the money the board gives me and they make other decisions outside that. The board will decide whether they want a certain type of manager. I am not going to sit and worry about that. If and when the board decides it is time for a change and they want someone who is 5ft 7in, and I am only 5ft 6in, then that is their prerogative. I am under no illusions about how football works. People have their expectations. Everyone within the football club knows finishing 17th is our ambition. Anyone who expects better than that is living in fantasy land."

Billy Davies has ruled out a loan move for fit-again Derby defender Darren Moore.
Leicester are reported to be coveting Moore but Davies insists Moore still has a key role to play at the Premier League strugglers.
Moore continued his comeback from a knee injury with a 60-minute outing for The Rams' reserves on Monday and Davies is looking forward to welcoming back the veteran defender.
'I can tell you Darren Moore won't be going anywhere, but I'm not surprised about the speculation,' Davies told Derby's official website.
'As far as I'm concerned he's a very important player for us and I'm delighted to welcome him back after injury.'
