Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley will offer interim boss Alan Shearer a four-year deal in order to thrash out the way forward following the club's relegation from the Premier League.
Ashley is desperate to sort out the managerial situation and plan for next season's promotion bid.
A club source told The Sun: "Alan has a good working relationship with Ashley who knows he can't act how he did with Kevin Keegan if the club are to get themselves out of this mess.
"He is taking on board everything Alan is saying.
"Mike knows he needs to be getting on with Shearer far better than previous managers."
Relegation could cost the club anywhere between £30 million and £60 million and Shearer says massive changes are required for the Magpies to return to the top flight.
He said: "Big decisions need to be made at this club. I will sit down with the owners and the chairman and I will give them my opinion. I can see what needs to change - there's a hell of a lot.
"You can look at last season and this season and things haven't been right. It's important that the club gets back on track.
"Players have to go and other players have to come in. These decisions need to be made sooner rather than later, whoever it is.
"There is a lot of work to be done between now and then."
