Blackburn supremo John Williams has refused to safeguard Paul Ince's position, insisting he will make decisions "in the club's best interests".
Ince is under pressure at Ewood Park after a run of 10 Premier League games without a win has left Rovers in 19th in the table.
Reports have suggested Ince could be replaced as early as this week, with former Rovers boss Graeme Souness those to have been linked with the job.
It would appear that Ince will be in charge for this weekend's trip to Wigan but chairman Williams has stopped short of assuring the ex-England captain of his job.
"The board will make decisions it feels are in the best interests of the club," he told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.
Rovers lost 3-1 at home to league leaders Liverpool on Saturday and Williams praised the fans for sticking with Ince and the players.
He added: "It could have gone one of two ways on Saturday, but the fans were fantastic and really got behind the team.
"I am not sure who started it. Whether the players' performance lifted the crowd or vice versa, but they were certainly great.
"I don't think anyone could grumble about the crowd's contribution on Saturday, Paul Ince remarked on that to me himself."
