West Ham manager Alan Curbishley claims he does not feel under any added pressure despite being the favourite to be axed.
The Hammers chief is leading the market with the bookmakers as they take bets on the first Premier League boss to part with his club.
However, the former Charlton chief insists he is unconcerned by his perceived position at the front of the sack race.
"I'm not bothered," he told The Sun.
Outsider
"I'm not a gambling man. I had 15 years at Charlton as outsider to get the sack.
"But I don't think I'm under pressure.
"Other people like to stir things up and make it worse."
Curbishley is favourite ahead of Bolton boss Gary Megson and Newcastle's Kevin Keegan.
