Phelan offered Hull job on permanent basis

The former Manchester United assistant manager has won seven points from four games in the Premier League after the club won promotion from the Championship last season.

The feat was made even more impressive by the fact that Hull played won first two games with a fit squad of just 13 fit senior players.

Phelan is now considering the offer from the East Yorkshire side, he confirmed on 'BBC Radio Humberside'.

"It's a case now of sifting through the offer and getting down to what hopefully will be further discussions," he told the radio station.

"I don't want to talk about the money, I don't want to talk about what the contract entails because, to be frank, it's nobody else's business.

"You do want parity with the Premier League, and going forward hopefully that's what will happen".

The 53-year-old said that he has wanted the job for a while, but has only been offered a concrete deal in the past 24 hours.

"I would like to have got it done weeks ago but it's only in this last 24 hours we've ended up in this state of affairs with pounds, shillings and pence," he said.
