Kevin Blackwell still has the full backing of the Leeds United board, according to director Peter Lorimer.
United fans called for the manager's head after a 3-0 home defeat to Sunderland in midweek saw the club slip into the Championship relegation zone.
Rumours are rife that ex-Charlton Athletic manager Alan Curbishley is being lined up to replace Blackwell in the Elland Road hot-seat.
However, when asked if the board remained loyal to Blackwell, Lorimer told BBC Radio Five Live: "At this particular time, yes."
The Whites legend added: "We want what's best for Leeds United. That will be for us to climb up the league and have stability at the football club."
