Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says he will leave the club "if the owners want me to go".
The Reds marked captain Steven Gerrard's final match with a humbling 6-1 defeat at Stoke City to finish the season sixth in the Premier League.
Rodgers accepted he was coming under increasing pressure at Anfield, after winning two of his last nine games.
"For everybody connected with Liverpool, we are all embarrassed by that result," said the 42-year-old.
He added he still has "a lot to offer the club" after three years in charge despite the heavy defeat.
It was the first time in 52 years the Reds had let in six goals in the league and they end the season without any silverware.
On top of that, they must go through two qualifying rounds if they are to compete in the group stage of next season's Europa League.
"I still feel I've got a lot to offer the club," added Rodgers, who guided the Reds to second place last season.
"A lot has happened this year which has made the job difficult.
"Last season, when things were working well, we had the support of everyone but performances like today do not help that and I fully understand that.
"The fans deserve an apology. They were angry at half-time - and rightly so - because that was awful, absolutely awful.
"They have every right to be angry and frustrated and of course I take full responsibility for that as the manager."
Rodgers, who has not won any silverware in three seasons in charge, faces a big rebuilding job in the summer.
As well as Gerrard joining LA Galaxy, there is speculation about the future of young forward Raheem Sterling.
Rodgers dropped Sterling, 20, to the bench at the Britannia Stadium and Liverpool found themselves trailing 5-0 at the interval after a terrible display.
All five goals came in the space of 23 minutes, from Mame Biram Diouf, twice, Jonathan Walters, former Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam and Steven Nzonzi.
Gerrard marked his farewell with a consolation goal but there was still time for ex-Liverpool striker Peter Crouch to head a sixth for Stoke five minutes after coming on as a substitute.
Asked about his rebuilding plans, Rodgers added: "There's an awful lot of work to do and the job is to now go and fix that, and make sure we come back with a motivation greater than ever to push on next season.
"We've finished the season in sixth, which is where we deserve to finish.
"We have to now start, today, on the climb to get back up again."
