Steve Bruce retains the confidence of Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley despite the growing calls for his dismissal.
The Magpies remain just two points clear of the relegation zone - albeit with a game in hand on Fulham - following the weekend humbling at Brighton.
The emphatic 3-0 defeat at the Amex extended United's miserable run of form to just two wins in their last 20 matches in all competitions.
Club sources re-iterated Ashley's backing for the under-fire head coach on Sunday, but pressure from the disgruntled fanbase has intensified.
Wor Flags unveiled their latest protest outside St James' Park on Saturday night, branding Bruce a 'coward' and urging the 60-year-old to walk away.
Days later, the Newcastle United Supporters' Trust released a statement to convey the 'overwhelming feeling' that the head coach should be dismissed.
With just nine matches remaining for the Magpies to secure their top-flight status, who would you like to see in the dugout for the next match against Tottenham?
Should Ashley continue to back Bruce, or should the Newcastle owner call in a replacement in a bid to revive the club's fortunes?
Rafa Benitez, Eddie Howe, Graeme Jones and Chris Wilder are among the leading contenders to replace the Magpies boss according to the bookmakers.
If Ashley decides to pull the trigger, who would you like to see appointed?
