Swansea City interim head coach Alan Sheehan says "big conversations" are needed to decide on his future at the club.
Sheehan has been handed the reins in SA1 following the dismissal of Luke Williams at the Swansea.com Stadium and has so far picked up seven points from a possible nine ahead of the midweek fixture against Watford.
The Irishman said talks, which are planned for next week, would need to be had before a decision can be made on what is best for the club moving forward. Sign up to our Swansea City newsletter here.

Talks are pencilled in for next week with new director Richard Montague to discuss what comes next for him and the club.
"We have had conversations along those lines," Sheehan said.
"I don't think that's the right thing because we've lost a good few staff, we have staff filling in.
"It's quite demanding. I like it to be demanding but in terms of continuing it on, you need to have permanent roles for permanent people with a permanent plan, [to] know where the club is going. Right now this is short term instead of long term."
Swansea now look safe with 10 games still to go in the regular season but the appointment of the next manager still looms large at the club. Sheehan, 38, says "big conversations" are required, adding it's vital everyone at the club is on the same page in terms of what - or indeed who - comes next.
"What do we want in the future, what is the timescale, who's coming in, who's coming out to go on that journey?" he said.
"What players do we see being here for the future, what players that are out of contract are staying? What way do we want to play, how do we want to evolve it?
"There are all these questions but everyone needs to be on the same page. It can't be loose, one person thinking this, me wanting that, you want this, you want that."
Meanwhile, Sheehan has confirmed Myles Peart-Harris is likely to miss the rest of the season and has returned to parent club Brentford. The loan man suffered the knock against Preston last week.
“It was a big blow for Myles, he is a lovely lad, he had a really good game against Blackburn and wanted to kick on," he added. "So it was really sad to see him go off like that, and to see him so upset.

“It could be the end of his season potentially, he could maybe come back for the final few games.
“But he will go back to Brentford to be assessed and we will see the extent of it, and we wish him all the best.
“He has produced good outcomes in terms of goals and assists, and he has showed he can perform at this level so I think both clubs have benefited from his time here.”
Swansea are also sweating on the fitness of Harry Darling for the clash against the Hornets.
“With Harry, there’s something in his hip that we’ve sent him to get looked at and we will assess him over the coming days,” he added.
“I am not sure if he will be fit for this game, but let’s wait and see. We have to be adaptable, Hannes (Delcroix) came on and did well, and that’s been the attitude. It’s not about what we don’t have, it’s about what we do have.
“Whatever happens we’ll pick a team that we think is suitable for Watford.”
