Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino says it's important for mutual respect between the board and himself.
Pochettino insists his future at the club is as much up to him as it is to the club's owners.
He said ahead of tomorrow's clash at Nottingham Forest: "Look, it's not important. The most important thing is to keep going, working if we are all happy, not only the owners happy with us, or us, with all the organisation the club is building here because of them we are all under assessment," said the Argentine manager.
"If we are happy, perfect. But it is not only if the owners are happy or the sporting directors are happy. If we are happy, you need to ask us, also, because maybe say 'we are not happy' and we accept the situation and we need to split.
"It is not going to be the first time the coaching staff at the end of the season decide to not keep going. But at this end, it is always the opposite way, it is always the owners or the sporting directors.
"They can say tomorrow, maybe I can say 'I want to leave'. It is two parties to make a decision. Because Chelsea is not happy, the owners are not happy or the sporting directors. Maybe we are not happy because we arrive here with a job to do and in the end it has not happened how we expect. I am not saying I am not happy, but it is always one side and maybe [we need to look at the] other side."
But Pochettino also said: "We are already working and planning the pre-season tour. We have had some meetings and meetings to organise next season and of course working in the future."
