Mark McGhee refused to reveal the outcome of discussions with the Aberdeen board following Saturday's 9-0 thrashing at Celtic but insists he is "comfortable" with his position as boss.
The Dons suffered their record defeat in a humiliating afternoon in Glasgow which led to reports that McGhee had been given Tuesday night's home Clydesdale Bank Premier League game against Inverness to save his job.
"I'm not prepared to tell you what I believe," he said. "I have regular discussions with (chairman) Stewart Milne and (director of football) Willie (Miller) and have since I came here, and they are the same as others - private and constructive. I can't tell you (what was said). I'm comfortable with the situation."
He added: "I am focused on the game on Tuesday night and I am comfortable with that."
Pressed further on his position, McGhee said: "I'm a realist. I have been in the game a long time, I know how it works.
"However, I am still the manager now and it looks like, regardless of what anyone may say, I will be the manager for the Inverness match.
"So the most important thing for me is the Inverness game and that is a good thing.
"It allows me to focus on that and not on what everyone else is saying. There will be strong feelings about me and the team and the club.
"The fact is I'm still here, I will be taking the team on Tuesday night and all I can say to the supporters is that we are hugely embarrassed by what happened on Saturday."
