Cardiff City manager Dave Jones has admitted that his future at the Bluebirds is in doubt after the 3-0 home defeat to Reading in the Championship Play-Off Semi-Final Second Leg.
Speaking to BBC Wales, Jones said: "Maybe people think that it's time to move on, or I do, or whatever and I'll assess all that when the time's right.
"Everybody's future comes into it at a football club. "That's the life and the job that I'm in so if they feel that it's not been enough or whatever, then you move on or you don't feel you can go any further, then you move on.
"If you feel you can go again... we live in a part of the world where everybody thinks that they can always do a better job.
"We just fell at the final hurdle and that's the hardest thing to take and you've just got to give me my dignity and let me wallow in it.
"And I'll get up tomorrow morning and I'll sift through with the staff and see what'sthe best course of action to take for this football club - or it may be taken out of my hands and they [the club's backers] want to do something else.
"But it's not the time and it's not the place at this moment."
Jones says he retains the hunger to remain, adding: "It's my life. It's something I do that I love so I'll always have the hunger.
"Sometimes you mightn't show it because you're not a ranter and a raver and jumping up and down on the line.
"But if you ask the players in there have I got the hunger? I've always had the hunger - it's never gone away. "So that's not a problem.
"Maybe people think that it's time to move on, or I do, or whatever and I'll assess all that when the time's right.
"But this isn't the time now because I'll make decisions that mightn't be the right ones and I need my time.
"My staff need the time and the players and the owners and the chief exec [Gethin Jenkins] and everything else and we'll go on from there."
