West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Pardew will meet the board for talks on Monday as his job hangs by a thread after Saturday's 4-1 home defeat to Leicester.
Pardew's position is under constant review, with Albion bottom of the Premier League table and eight points from safety.
PA Sport reported that it was business as usual at The Hawthorns on Sunday, with a lack of viable alternatives helping Pardew's position.
Following the game Pardew said he would seek talks with the club, with those discussions set to be held on Monday, and admitted they may want to sack him.
"Before you even ask me the question, will I speak to those upstairs? Yes I will, of course I will, because it's getting difficult," he said.
"For me it's about planning for next week and getting ready for a difficult game at Bournemouth, and that's what I will do.
"But I will still talk to them and get a feeling of what they think because they might think a change is a better thing for the club, I don't know."
Chief executive Mark Jenkins, who returned to that role last month after the sackings of chairman John Williams and chief executive Martin Goodman, is back from China following talks with club owner Guochuan Lai.
Jenkins was in China for main sponsor Palm's AGM, with Pardew having won just once in 16 league games since replacing Tony Pulis.
His reign has also seen dressing room issues, highlighted by Jonny Evans, Jake Livermore, Gareth Barry and Boaz Myhill allegedly stealing a taxi while in Barcelona with the club last month.
