Manchester City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson thanked the club's fans for a strong show of support for him during the 1-0 defeat at Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.
The former England head coach looks certain to lose his job at the end of the season, despite guiding the Citizens into the top half of the table in his first campaign at Eastlands.
Eriksson said after the loss at Anfield: "The support for me was fantastic, of course it was.
"It was fantastic and of course I am thankful. They have been fantastic all season, incredible.
"They are wonderful, especially when you see all the support and we haven't won anything. We are going in the right way. The side is improving.
"Maybe it will not affect things, I don't know, but we have one week to go until the season is finished.
"But I would appreciate it if people would accept that we will start talking after that. We will not be talking on Monday, more so next month.
"I expect to know what will happen after the last match. If you speak clearly to people, the situation will come out. If you do not speak clearly, it will not. We can wait a week. That is not a long time.
"If you compare where the club was a year ago you can surely see the improvement.
"The reason I accepted Manchester City was the project. It was a big club, but it was not doing too well. It is fantastic to build up something new, something better."
