The former Wimbledon manager said he wanted to make the team "far better", adding he would not interfere with team selection or tactics.
"I'm a very good judge of player and a good tactician," he added.
"I'm not picking the team," added Kinnear. "I'm there solely to make sure he gets the best possible team on the pitch."
I can only read that as signing the best players he can to enable Pardew to select the strongest XI as possible. Still hate the idea of him as a DOF.
