Whatever it is ... Kinnear insists he is happy to be in the job and not at all concerned that his salary is lower than other Premier League bosses.
Joe Kinnear: "When I was given the role last week my financial situation wasn't even mentioned. But as far as I am concerned this is not about money.
"Yes it has been tough for me at times since I arrived but I am enjoying every minute of this and while I don't know how long I am going to be here when I do go I want to go out with my head held high.
"However if I do a good job in the next few months perhaps I would ask to have my contract reviewed."
