Steve Bruce is adamant that he will not walk away from Hull City even if they are relegated from the Premier League this season.
The Tigers are expected to drop down into the Championship as they sit two points above danger with two to play - a visit to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday before hosting Manchester United next week.
Asked if he would still be in charge next season, he told reporters: "I sincerely hope so. But that's for others to decide.
"I've got the hugest respect for the owner. I am totally disappointed for him and the supporters but it is not over yet. That sort of question I will tell in a couple of weeks' time because that is out of my hands.
"I haven't really thought of myself just yet but I've got no qualms of quitting or walking away, nothing like that. I just want to try to stay up."
Bruce has been City boss since 2012, having previously managed Sunderland, Wigan Athletic and Birmingham City in the Premier League.
