West Coast Eagles coach Adam Simpson says he has not received any clarity about his position, as speculation swirls his tenure at the AFL club is hanging by a thread.
The Eagles are last on the ladder and have suffered five losses of more than 100 points this season, as well as 15 losses of 40 points or more.
Pressure ramped up on the embattled club following Saturday’s western derby loss, which saw the Eagles ship 17 consecutive goals on their way to a 101-point loss — their biggest ever to Fremantle.
But Simpson said he would not quit the role, with the board to meet at the end of the season to determine his future.
“I do understand that decisions are made and changes happen sometimes,” he said.
“I totally understand that there may be questions asked [about my future] because of the opposition [Fremantle].
“And you don’t want to look at things in isolation from game to game but from the weekend, it was a really disappointing performance. So getting the full clarity is important.
“It’s just this time of year, you need the certainty of it all because you’re making big decisions.”
