“Younger managers want a longer contract but it doesn’t bother me and the main thing is I’ll be here this season and we are talking, we just haven’t had much time, really.
"We’ll get around to it before the new year and have a chat."

He said: “I said I didn’t enjoy the Premier League but we’re a long way from that and I’ve got my ideas, but like I said it’s about looking after ourselves for now.
“There are a lot of big sides and so we have to bring our squad up to numbers now, first.
"There’s a great feeling, nobody has moaned and with people like Sean Morrison the skipper coming in even when he’s injured, things like that are important.
“We looked at the end of October first of all and now we’re looking at January 1st, and we’re actually in front of that now, and with the players coming back, I think we can have a better second half.”
