Southampton boss Nigel Adkins is unconcerned over sack rumours.
Adkins is under increasing pressure after Saints lost seven of their opening nine Premier League games.
But he is refusing to throw in the towel.
He said: "I was odds-on favourite to be the first manager sacked - even before a ball had been kicked - so nothing has changed.
"This is my biggest challenge in football and I am loving every minute of it.
"At times like this you have to face up to things head on."
