Burrows issues note of caution to new Leicester boss
Leicester caretaker boss Frank Burrows has warned those eyeing the vacancy at the Walkers Stadium.
Joe Royle, Peter Reid and Graeme Souness are all thought to have been interviewed for the position but Burrows and fellow caretaker Gerry Taggart currently hold the reins.
Veteran coach Burrows admits he is relishing the responsibility and it has been suggested that he could land the job in tandem with Taggart on a permanent basis.
The Scot, speaking after the 1-1 draw with Preston - a result which keeps the Foxes among the Coca-Cola Championship's strugglers - said the club's supporters deserved better than their current standing.
Expected
"Leicester City has got a big, big fanbase," said Burrows.
"And the supporters want and are used to better times than this.
"They want to get back to the Premier League and we are all aware of that.
"As for the management situation, that's down to the chairman, but whoever gets the job will be expected to move onwards and upwards.
"I'm enjoying it and I still get a buzz out of it.
"There are also things not to like about it but it's a disease and I am afflicted with it."
On-loan Newcastle striker Andy Carroll headed an early opener to put Preston in control.
Fightback
But North End's failings returned to haunt them shortly before the hour mark as DJ Campbell was allowed to outjump the home defence and nod home to secure the Foxes a point.
Paul Simpson's only consolation was a first senior goal for 18-year-old Carroll, who arrived at Deepdale on a six-month loan in August.
He headed Kevin Nicholls' inswinging free-kick into the top corner in the 14th minute after Matty Fryatt fouled Matt Hill.
Simpson said: "I decided to recall him and I just felt he would give us something different.
"He's had a difficult time and I've been hammering him every single day in training.
"I've got him to take a hard look at himself because he's made a few mistakes."
The result leaves Preston just points above the relegation zone, but Simpson added: "There were a few boos from a minority of supporters but it doesn't help the players.
"In the end, I suppose either side could have won it and we got a kick up the backside when they scored."
