Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has revealed that he is planning on staying at the club for a number of years.
Pardew has overseen a highly successful season for the the Tyneside club, with his side still in the running for a Champions League spot, and is thought to be one of the front runners for the 'Manager of the Year' award.
Pardew's success led to some reports suggesting that he was being lined up by one of the top clubs, but the 50-year-old insists that he is at St James' Park for the long haul.
"I'm loving it here. I don't want to go anywhere else. In the past when I've been a manager, I've kept one eye on vacancies and thought, 'That would be nice'," said Pardew.
"But I don't think like that now. You get to a certain age as a manager and you know that the grass isn't always greener.
"I'd love to be here for the next three or four years, but it won't be decided by me."
Newcastle face Liverpool at St. James' Park later today where a win will see them move within two points of fourth place.
