Manchester City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has refused to comment on his position at the club despite speculation he is set to be replaced at the end of the season.

The former England coach met with the club’s owner Thaksin Shinawatra at the weekend but he did not say what the nature of their discussions were.

However, he did reveal he would not be meeting with Thaksin again before the end of the season.

“I had a meeting with Dr Thaksin and his people on Sunday morning and at this moment with two games to go in the season I don’t want to make any comment about that,” Eriksson told the 'Manchester Evening News'.

“There are no more meetings planned until the season is over.

“I appreciate the backing of the fans which I have felt since the day I arrived. I thank them very much.

“But now we are just focusing on trying to beat Liverpool on Sunday.”
