Knowing Pardew we'll probably play Bent out wide.

Reminds me of Sibierski. Not good enough if we want to progress, but tried his hardest and performed above expectations.

Does it matter whether or not Shearer was any good? He's not the one who's come back.

I know that prince killed himself years after Joe Korea left Nepal, but I've just checked his age. Joe has also claimed he was one of his best friends, but the prince was 15 when he was Nepal manager, so it's highly unlikely he was in charge of the FA and that they actually knew each other at all.

We should try and get Pardew, Ashley and especially Kinnear sectioned.

Not going to happen. If Kinnear is Ashley's first choice, just imagine who his second choice would be!

Can't see how anyone isn't worried about relegation. We flirted with it last year. The squad will be worse - we'll almost certainly get lose some of our best players over the summer, and their replacements (if we even get replacements) won't be of the same quality. Even if Pardew stays, he's still the tactically inept manager he was last season, and now he's got the only person more clueless than him whispering in his ear. And I've not even started to mention all the unrest and loss of morale all this is bound to cause. Unless Ashley goes this summer, we're doomed.

It's not that we're discovering a new-found love for Llambias. This would be like David Cameron being replaced by Screaming Lord Sutch.

I bet Llambias left for the same reason N'Zogbia did.

Oh fuck. If Pardew goes, Kinnear will be in charge of literally everything at the club.

He won't last three years, his heart will give out before then.

I suggest everyone starts intentionally getting his name wrong (Joe Canoe?), see how he likes it.

I get the feeling we haven't just brought back the job that Dennis Wise had or changed the structure. Instead, Kinnear's taking over the football related side of Lambeezee's job, leaving him to get on with the business stuff. Which wouldn't be so bad (Lambeezee probably knows less than Kinnear about football) if he didn't go running his mouth about everything and turning us into a circus.

Even if he somehow manages to be a success, I don't care. He's a complete embarrassment, and makes me feel ashamed to be a Newcastle fan. There is no way he's a good ambassador for the club and if Ashley has any sense (which he obviously doesn't) he should ban him from talking to the media.

56,000. Like a season ticket holder doesn't know the capacity.

"Barcelona of the North" - definitely a Mackem.

Iain Macintosh checking some more of his claims: iainmacintosh: http://t.co/MM4vhaa8UZ - Here's Joe Kinnear working without a budget at Wimbledon where most of his players were free transfers. iainmacintosh: I also like the way Kinnear says, "I sold John Scales for £3m, I think he was a free transfer." Yes, Joe. He was. 5years before you arrived.

Dave...uh...Mike's been practising his accent.

Glad he's being called out on all his lies.

Can he even pronounce his own name? He's like the lovechild of Pleat and Waddle.

So David Lambezy (a person that doesn't exist) has resigned as director of football (a job that never existed).

I've said I'm finished with this club so many times before, but I never am. It's like how Michael Bluth always walks out saying "that's it, I'm done with this family" before getting sucked right back in.

Let's hope Kinnear can "do something with" him.

Until we get official confirmation, can we change the thread title to "Joe Kinnear: Joe Kinnear appointed Director of Football, 3-year deal"?

I bet Mike and David are genuinely shocked by the reaction to this.
