BBC said:

Joe Kinnear has revealed he has been offered the chance to become Newcastle's permanent manager.

Kinnear is currently contracted until the end of the season having arrived as interim manager following Kevin Keegan's departure last September.

However, Kinnear's performance appears to have persuaded the board to offer him a long-term deal.

"I'm just mulling over things in my head at the moment. I have been offered a very lucrative contract," he said.

"I know what my own future is," the 62-year-old added on talkSPORT.

The former Wimbledon and Nottingham Forest manager has led Newcastle out of the bottom three since owner Mike Ashley brought him to the club, winning four and drawing eight of his 17 games in charge.

"Mike Ashley, (managing director) Derek Llambias and I, we've sat down and talked about taking the club forward and about reinvesting in the club in the summer," said Kinnear.

"But I said to them that first and foremost, we have to work hard and establish ourselves as a Premier League side and get away from the relegation fight.

He has done great for the club so far, but I don't think he will be a good long-term manager if they want to reach Europe.
