Everton chairman Bill Kenwright has refuted claims that manager David Moyes could leave in the summer.
The Toffees boss is out of contract at the end of the season but Kenwright is remaining calm despite the fact the Scotsman said he would look at his position once this campaign is complete.
"He's made a simple statement, give me to the end of the season," Kenwright told Sky Sports News.
"He knows in making that statement it's not the easiest one for the football club and he's acknowledged that to me. But he also knows the respect I have for him.
"So hopefully in seven weeks when the last match is played we can have the five minutes that David has alluded to for the last six months or so that will sort out a new contract, a new adventure, and keep David at the football club.
"If it doesn't, the man leaves with his head held high."
