INTERIM Carlton president Stephen Kernahan says he will remain in his new position until at least the end of the 2008 season.
"At this stage yes; we've got 10 weeks to go [until the end of the] season and really the club is trying to concentrate on beating Essendon on Sunday, to tell you the truth, but obviously this news has come to light pretty quickly, so we addressed the problem this morning.
"Ten weeks to go and we've got a board meeting on Monday night and we'll cover a few issues and all go from here."
Kernahan has taken over from Richard Pratt, who stepped down today to fight charges laid by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
Carlton chief executive Greg Swann said the club was expecting Pratt to return to his position.
"At this stage, it is the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, so these things may resolve quickly or they may take some time, but this stage, he's standing aside and we've obviously got a board in place that runs the football club and we'll assess these things as they go, but that's what the decision is at this time.
"It's all happened pretty quickly, so the answer is yes [he will come back], if it happens quickly, yeah, but that's where we see it."
