Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini job is now being discussed inside the boardroom.
The Daily Star says he still has the backing of his bosses and his job is not under threat right now.
But chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak will wait until the summer before deciding whether or not to axe the Chilean.
A club source said: "The domestic form is a major concern.
"Now it looks like the team basically has to go on a winning run to put the pressure on Chelsea and at least make a fight of the title battle, otherwise there might be a change."
