Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric could have cast doubt on his own future at Fratton Park after facing the flak in some quarters in the wake of Harry Redknapp's departure.
Although Redknapp has stressed the decision to resign was his alone, there has been speculation that the former West Ham United manager was so upset with Velimir Zajec coming to the club, he wanted to walk away from the job.
Mandaric is angered by that accusation and will not disclose any possible replacements.
"My immediate plan is to keep the club going forward," Mandaric told Sky Sports News.
"Right now, luckily, I have a man on the board [Zajec] who understands football and he will take Harry's place on a temporary basis. We will look for a manager or head coach, whatever is needed.
"I have no idea of names and I won't discuss that today. I am not a happy man because Harry is leaving, but we will concentrate on other things tomorrow.
"I did not plan anything like this at this time. We have to take the business at this point and go on.
"I sometimes wish I could go with Harry to be honest with you.
"I'm not a very happy man these days. I don't deserve this.
"I am a straightforward and honest man who has done everything I can do in football - treating the media properly, and the way it's happened is not fair to me, Harry or to the club, so why would I be a happy man?
"I'm not going to stay here forever. I'll call a press conference one day and say I'm going to be on my way out too.
"I'm always committed until the last minute and, right now, I am chairman of Portsmouth Football Club."
Jim Smith has confirmed his resignation despite Mandaric's insistence that he felt 'The Bald Eagle' had not left.
"As far as I'm concerned, Jim is still with Portsmouth," added Mandaric. "He's an employee of our club as far as I'm concerned."
Yet, Smith later told Sky Sports News that he has followed Redknapp out of the South Coast club.
"It's been fantastic," he stated, with a tinge of sadness.
"It was a dream and I was proud to be here. It's been an unbelievable two-and-a-half years of football.
"It's strange because I was thinking of finishing before Portsmouth, but it's revitalised me and I feel younger than I've ever felt.
"I wouldn't go on my own though - if I go somewhere it would have to be with Harry."
