Mark Hudson hopes his future at Cardiff City is decided over the coming days and said there were a few "little things to sort out" after Vincent Tan offered him the manager's job until the end of the season.
Ahead of the defeat by Hull City on Tuesday night, it was revealed that Tan, who was in attendance at Cardiff City Stadium for the first time since May 2019, had asked interim boss Hudson to stay on until the end of the campaign.
When asked whether it was all confirmed or whether he was still deciding on the proposal, Hudson said: "I'm not deciding. We have had a good conversation today. There are just a few more pieces we need to put together.
MARK HUDSON:
"We are ambitious as a football club. We have ambitious players. Us as coaches are ambitious as well. If you compare the two performances from Sunderland to today, we weren't at our levels, ultimately.
"We had good discussions today. Ultimately, that's not the way we wanted to see today go. There are just a few little things to sort out.
"I'll probably speak to him a bit later. I'll speak to the board. I'll let them get on their way tonight and then there will be a few discussions within the next couple of days.
"He (Tan) has got a plan for the future. Which is good. It shows support. That's what the football club needs, we need everyone together heading in the right direction. The conversations were good."
Given Tan had waited more than three years to see the team he owns in the flesh, Cardiff put in a poor showing. They started the game terribly, briefly picked up after half-time but then two goals in two minutes from Regan Slater helped Hull come back to win it 3-2.
Hudson bemoaned his side's naivety in their defending for the three soft goals.
"We didn't play well in the first half. We spoke about it at half-time and started the second half well," he added. "Then we were naïve to a couple of moments in the game. Then gifted them the winner, which we've spoken about after.
"There's lots of things we need to learn, but we'll stick together to improve.
"We have had good consistency of performance up until today. The first half was a bit disjointed. Whether that was the personnel of the fixture list, we will look at it.
"We know we have got a tough one [against Sheffield United] on Saturday."
The crowds keep dropping, last night 16,357, it is becoming worrying how low they are becoming.
The atmosphere in the stadium swung from booing at half-time to excitement after taking the lead. However, by the end of the match, the crowd voiced their disgruntlement at what was ultimately a sub-par performance.

The question is why ? - why werent you 'at your levels' - if you cant identify that - then ultimately Hudson will continue to make the same mistake over and over again.
First thing I'd indentify - Dont play No37 Nkongkou in that position again. It's not that he is a bad player (even if most of his passes went astray) - his positioning was terrible and Hull's player on the right wing couldnt believe how much room he was getting.

Hudson saying the same old as expected rather than the truth. Some players need to look at themselves in the mirror after that showing. Nelson who can't mark a kids homework left his man twice for goals, Ojo should be playing for barry town at best, our left back isn't worth 10p a week and the midfielders moved about in to space every 10 mins for a pass yet hardly tracked any runners off them. I could name over half a team who just couldn't be arsed who would struggle in league 1 tbh currently but we go again Saturday which I doubt we will get anything from in truth but let's hope I'm wrong.
