Chris Hughton: "I'm on a contract at this football club and it's only speculation - non-facts that are brought to my attention.
"It's always very difficult to talk about things that are hypothetical and things that are very non-fact.
"I have a contract at this football club, we are in a good place at this particular moment because the focus is on these play-off games.
"It's very difficult to speak about anything that's not fact.
"At this moment, it (the play-offs) are taking 100% of my focus.
"I had talks with Baggies chairman Jeremy Peace in early 2011.
"I think it was no secret at that time, but it's something that's very much in the past."
