Hamburg midfielder Piotr Trochowski has admitted he is considering his own future at the club following the shock departure of Martin Jol this week.
Jol left the club after just a year in charge to take over at Ajax with an apparent difference of opinion over the club's transfer policy and ambition prompting him to leave.
And Trochowski says his own future is now hanging in the balance.
"I actually feel happy in Hamburg, but I am not married to HSV," he said.
"For four years we have only just been sneaking into the UEFA Cup, but I want to improve and win titles so something has got to change.
"If that does not happen with HSV, then it will have to happen with another club."
With Ivica Olic leaving for Bayern Munich and no new coach appointed yet, Trochowski is worried about the club's future and is to seek talks with the chairman Bernd Hoffmann and director of sport Dietmar Beiersdorfer when he returns from Germany's tour of Asia next week to clarify his own role at the club.
"I don't feel I have the support of the club's management," he said.
"It has got to be clear how HSV are planning with me and I cannot see that yet. Bernd Hoffmann said a few weeks ago that I could leave for a few million and now he is saying that I have to stay.
"That is nice, but I need clarification. The club has got to make its stance known.
"I have got to talk to them and there has got to be a clear statement coming from the club."
According to the Germany international, the biggest statement the club can make is that of its plans to strengthen the squad this summer.
Should there be no sign of any new arrivals, Trochowski would consider following Olic out of the door with his future hinging on how pro-active the club is in the transfer market this summer.
"Something has got to happen in the club, and it must happen now," he told the Bild newspaper.
"We have only just made it into the UEFA Cup, but that alone cannot be the aim of HSV.
"Everybody could see that you cannot survive over a whole season in three competitions with only 14 or 15 men.
"The club has got to add (to the squad) and this time it has got to be players who can take HSV further.
"That would be the first step."
