"We haven't had any kind of meeting with the management. They have not sat us down and talked through the situation with us. All we know is what we read in the press," said the England international.
"We are professionals so we have to perform on the pitch whatever is going on upstairs. We are not influenced by what is happening to the manager, we can't be.
"It's not for me to say who is right or wrong in this situation. What goes on in the boardroom is not our concern. We will keep trying to get results that will keep the manager safe.
"We are just focused on what happens on the pitch, what happens off it is simply not our concern. We have to continue winning; that's all we can do."
