After defeat to Wigan Athletic, Portsmouth boss Paul Hart was tightlipped on taking the job fulltime.
"I think this week will answer most questions about the managerial position and players," he said.
"We have been concentrating on getting these games out of the way. Fortunately we became safe last week, which was important for us."
Asked if he craved the job, Hart replied: "I've not craved anything for a long time.
"When you have been a manager do you really crave? I'm not sure you do."
