Newcastle United boss John Carver is adamant he's no interim appointment.
Newcastle named Carver head coach until the end of the season after Alan Pardew's move to Crystal Palace at the turn of the year.
But he admits he likes to see himself as a "permanent'' appointment.
He insisted: "If I keep worrying about everybody who has been linked with the job, I won't be giving 100 per cent.
"In my eyes, I am permanent, with the contract I signed.
"There was nothing about 'short-term', there was nothing about 'interim'.
"I am the permanent manager and that's my mindset.''
