Watford boss Ed Still says he knows what needs to be done so the club "can be in Coventry's position" next season.
It follows speculation that Still may become the latest head coach to lose his job following their final game of the season at home to the Championship champions on Saturday.
Still, 35, was appointed on a two-and-a-half-year contract in February following the resignation of predecessor Javi Gracia, but has won only three out of 14 games.
"I'm not on social media, I'm not one to be reading the press every day, but I also know that's part and parcel of football, that when results aren't good, and when there's been such a high turnover of managers here at Watford, there's going to be smoke," he told BBC Three Counties Radio.
"You're prepared for that as a person and a manager – you take it and you move on."

Watford will go into the game against Coventry in 16th place, 13 points adrift of the play-off places, and have not finished higher than 11th since they were relegated from the Premier League in 2020.
"I know how intent I am on being here next season and (to act on) the lessons I've learned, everything I've seen over the past few months, and what needs to be done to make sure that we're in Coventry's position this time next season," he said.
"Despite my age I've been in the business for a long time, I've also always been a football fan, so I know exactly what the situation is, what articles are being written and what the fans are saying – that's all the noise on the outside.
"It's just for us to block that out, get on with the job, keep our head down and stay focused on the things that we do control."
Still is Watford's 11th head coach, not including interim bosses, since the end of the 2020-21 season.
