Hearts owner Ann Budge says the board remains behind manager Craig Levein and refuted suggestions the club have lined up a replacement.
Fans protested outside Tynecastle after Saturday’s defeat by Motherwell, with some calling for Levein to be sacked.
The club sit bottom of the Premiership, having won none of their opening five games and drawing twice.
“In short, our Board remains behind the Manager, his coaching staff and his team,” Budge said in a statement.
“Not because he is ‘untouchable’, not because he is ‘all-powerful’, and not because we are ‘weak’, as has been suggested.
“We remain behind him because we believe in the plan we have jointly put together.”
