Newcastle United caretaker boss Graeme Jones says he expects to meet with the owners after today's clash with Chelsea.
A permanent replacement for Steve Bruce, who left the club nine days ago, is expected to be appointed before Newcastle's following game at Brighton a week on Saturday.
"I'll have a chat with the owners and see where we are. No more than that and take it from there," said Jones, who became first-team coach at his hometown club under Bruce in January.
"I think our job here, right now, is to make this football club as united as it possibly can be for the next manager that's coming.
"We're a point better off than last week and obviously after tomorrow's game we'll see where we are, but the new guy needs to walk into a really healthy football club.
"With 52,000 people, plus 20 players and staff pulling in the same direction and that's my target."
