Burnley FC has insisted Brian Laws' position as manager is 'not under threat'.
The club made a public statement after reports suggested Laws was on his way out.
Laws took over from Owen Coyle in January but a dismal run of results culminated in their relegation to the Championship.
He was due to meet chairman Barry Kilby to discuss his future this week and many thought it was simply a matter of rubberstamping his departure from Turf Moor.
However, the club made a statement on Wednesday denying the reports.
It said: "Contrary to inaccurate local and national media speculation, the Burnley Football Club board of directors wish to make it clear that Brian Laws' position as first team manager is not under threat.
"Laws this morning met with club chairman Barry Kilby and operational director Brendan Flood to plan next season's player recruitment and budget, with a view to giving the club the best chance of returning to the Premier League.
"Brian Laws has two years remaining on the contract he signed in January 2010."
