Head coach Eddie Howe says he would step aside if he did not think he was still the right man to lead Newcastle United.
Newcastle were booed off by their supporters following a damaging 3-2 defeat against Brentford at St James' Park on Saturday.
Howe was crestfallen afterwards and said he was "not doing my job well enough at the moment" after his side slipped to 12th place in the Premier League table.
However, two days later Howe - who ended the club's seven-decade wait for a major domestic trophy 11 months ago - said there was "no doubt in my mind" he was the right man for the job.
