Tony Pulis admitted his future was out of his hands after he suffered another defeat in charge of the Baggies.
Albion have now gone ten games without a win and are placed only a point above the relegation zone.
Chelsea's 4-0 demolisment of Albion did little to prolong Pulis' stay at The Hawthorns and Baggies Chairman John Williams spoke to the Welshman in the Albion dressing room after the game.
Pulis insisted that conversation would remind private but did admit the club's owners will have a decision to make after another demoralising defeat.
"The board of directors will decide what they have to do," Pulis told the BBC.
"I have been in this position before. It's up to them. I feel for the players. They have worked hard but they have made basic mistakes.
"I spoke to the owners yesterday; they are really decent people. It's not about them, it's about what's best for the football club.
"That is more important than anybody. It's a decision they have to make. I'll keep ploughing along if they want me to do."
