Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, Pearce accepted that should the takeover be successful, the club's new owners may want to make a managerial change.
However, Stu does not believe the team's performance over the remaining 6 games of the season will make-or-break his future with the club.
"I am kept informed of takeover discussions," he said. "I have met individuals and various parties have been to the training ground and they have been to watch games.
"The chairman and chief executive tell me as much as they can and as much as I want to know.
"I don't feel any more secure in my job now than I ever have. You can never feel secure in this job," he added.
"In the summer there may be a takeover and they might say they need a new man at the helm.
"What I will say is that it does not affect my planning. In some ways, with regards planning for the future, it is of no relevance to me what the club tell me. I know my job, what is coming through from the Academy and what areas we need to strengthen.
"I have a list of targets to give to the chief executive and I will tell him that's what I want and that he has to deliver it for me, if he can. The chairman and board will, I am sure, do everything they can to support me.
"I don't see the rest of the season as an audition for my own job."
