Brighton manager Graham Potter has rubbished reports linking him to Newcastle United.
Potter is one of a number of potential candidates for Toon, should they part with Steve Bruce as expected.
"All it is is opinion," he said. "A lot of it is not true. It's just what it is.
"I feel a little bit for the supporters because they have to read speculation or they have to read false headlines that aren't correct.
"But I think most people understand that's just the world we're in.
"It was probably less than a year ago that there was a lot of the opposite noise around whether you're doing a good job, or whether it's time to move on for me, that type of stuff.
"With football it can change quickly and I don't pay too much attention to the noise from the outside.
"I don't trust the positive noise that much and I don't get too carried away if it's negative.
"Like I said, this time last year - probably even less - I'm answering questions about whether I have the support of the board."
