Chris Wilder has refused to kill off the prospect of him becoming Burnley boss.
The Boro boss is one of the favourites to succeed Sean Dyche, who was sacked last week, along with Derby chief Wayne Rooney. Relegation-threatened Burnley are ready to appoint an interim boss if their top target is immediately “unattainable”, and have started their search.
Wilder insists he is enjoying being Boro boss but says "no one knows what is around the corner." He will need a war chest to rebuild Boro in the summer and will demand a strong promotion challenge if he stays on Teesside.
