West Bromwich Albion are due to hold crisis talks on Monday as Alan Pardew discusses his future with the club's board.
Pardew is set to meet chief executive Mark Jenkins and it is understood all options are open, including a dismissal with eight games of the Premier League campaign left.
West Brom's sixth successive loss finished in embarrassing fashion as Leicester attacked at will in scenes reminiscent of a training game and Pardew accepted that the club's hierarchy must decide whether the time is right to part.
West Brom are reluctant to make a change at this stage in the season due to the lack of credible candidates who could step in with relegation seemingly inevitable.
