Cardiff boss Malky Mackay has insisted again that he will not quit after his side's defeat by Liverpool.
.
The club's Malaysian owner, Vincent Tan, was at Anfield and has told his manager to resign or face being sacked.
.
Mackay, 41, refused to comment on his future before Saturday's 3-1 Premier League loss, but said afterwards: "100% I won't be resigning."
.
He added he did not know what decision to expect from Tan, who he last spoke face-to-face to "a while ago".
.
Tan flew into London on Friday after being convinced by Bluebirds chairman Mehmet Dalman to hold one final round of talks.
.
A source close to the negotiations said they were "productive", but there was no resolution one way or the other.
.
The Cardiff owner had previously given Dalman the go-ahead to begin the process of appointing Mackay's successor and was deciding whether to sack the Scot before or after the Liverpool game.
.
Cardiff striker Craig Bellamy was asked by chief executive Simon Lim late last week if he would take charge of the team on an interim basis but said no, and told Mackay about the approach.
.
Mackay said he could not "look himself in the mirror" if he were to quit.
.
Asked by BBC Radio Wales why he will not walk away, Mackay said: "Because I've got a steely determination and a passion for my job and for what I do and have done for the football club for the last two-and-a-half years.
.
"The basis of my job, along with a lot of other things, is to prepare a team on a Saturday at three o'clock to go out and play in the best league in the world - and we are making a good job of that overall.
.
"Anything after that is out of my control and something that you should be finding out from other people at our football club."
.
The 41-year-old stayed on the Anfield pitch after Saturday's match to applaud Cardiff's fans, who had chanted support for the Scot and held up banners against Tan.
The fans surely love their coach so the owner should think twice before sacking him. But the owner is still the owner sha so he can sack him
Good to know he's been left alone to carry on with his job. I see him as a fantastic coach for Cardiff City.
