Hull City boss Iain Dowie hopes for the chance to lead the club in the Championship next season.
Both Dowie and chairman Adam Pearson have stressed sorting out the club's financial problems are a greater priority than appointing a manager for next season, and the former Crystal Palace and Charlton boss insists he is happy with the situation.
He said: "I knew what I was coming into. You can't now say 'oh, it's not fair' and moan, that's not what I'm about. Adam made it very clear and he's been very honest with me.
"He's got a lot on his plate rescheduling the finance of this club and that's the most important issue. My future is secondary. What is important is that they get a manager in as soon as they can to move forward.
"We're due to meet anyway next week but whether that's about my future or the club's future, that's a discussion that will come out in the fullness of time."
Dowie has already indicated his desire to stay on at the KC Stadium, and he added: "I like the area and I've had a very good response from the players. I'm a very passionate person, I want to right the wrongs. In my time we haven't done well enough.
"I think there's some potential here. Clearly there's huge challenges in terms of reshaping the squad but they've got a man in Adam who knows what he's doing. Hopefully, there can be exciting times ahead."
