Gillingham are yet to annouce a new manager so assistant Keith Millen may still be running matters when they meet Hereford in the FA Cup a week next Saturday.
It is over a month since Neil Harris left.
There is press speculation that Crawley manager Scott Lindsey may take over. But compensation might be a sticking point.
Yesterday Millen spoke to the press.
“(I asked) is there a chance of (next week)? They said, ‘Yes, definitely prepare for Hereford’.
“At least now I can plan the week and how the next week looks.
“I am in charge for Saturday, I have been told that, I am also planning for next week, if it changes before the Hereford game, it changes.
“The not knowing and the uncertainty is there all of the time until it’s taken away, it is trying to reassure the players. I try and keep them up-to-date with what’s going on.
“On Thursday morning I told them I am in charge for Saturday and how next week will look. I think that is all you can do, give them as much clarity as possible."
