Agree with others. All that would be fine if it's true the only problem is the man he has brought in. Wait and see I suppose if someone new comes in to take Derek's role and also the right players are replaced with better ones. My fear is none of that is true and we just drift through the summer.

Feel like the thread should be, Joe Kinnear: "Water off a duck's arse" might lighten the mood

I know anything can happen on opening day but I fear the worst. We could still be in disarray, they could have a whole host of multi-million pound players to show off plus with a new manager who will want to show he is a more exciting attack-minded coach compared to Mancini. Plus with our last few visits there I fear an absolute arse-tearing raping.

Wish we still had golfmag around to pre-empt us for these catastrophic Ashley decisions.

Kinnear: So what we got sorted so far? Carr: We have a fantastic defender coming in on a free transfer who I have scouted for 2 years now and think he would be perfect for us. Kinnear: ............ Carr: Douglas from FC Twente. Alan has already approved it. Kinnear: Oh has he now? Well things have changed. I've been in this business for years, you know, I've got far more experience than anyone else here. I signed Dean Holdsworth, Robbie Earle, Vinnie Jones......... I signed Krul for this club, what have you done? a few frenchies no one has heard of? Fack off. Dougley? Yeah I know the manager at Twente we talk all the time on the blower, said he's shit. Narr forget that donkey I'll get you someone in. Cunt.

Sounds like bollocks to me but happy to admit i'm wrong if you prove to be right.

Convinced he was almost entirely behind getting rid of Hughton if it's true Pardew was his mate and not Ashley's. Good riddance.

Exactly. Doubt Kinnear has even started his job yet.

Agree with this. Kinnear hasn't the heart literally for the manager job either so I'm hoping Pardew follows suit and we get an upgrade which wouldn't be that hard would it ? never underestimate this board. Probably get Souness back Sort out dem soft frenchies

I think this is bullshit to be honest and an easy thing for the press to say without knowing for sure.

He did ok in January getting plenty through the door. I think the problem has always been how much money Ashley is willing to be allowed to be spent.

I just hope someone is lined up to take over his role soon and is a far better communicator and not as much of a slimy toad. "you don't know how fucking horrible we can be....."

Now Taylor is rewriting history too. I'm sorry I know it was a few years ago but fans I knew hated Kinnear and when that West Brom game came around and the news broke of his heart problems, I felt for bad for him for his health and wished him better, but myself and many others were extremely happy that he wasn't going to be in charge of the team again. Oh and yeah we weren't 12th as he and Kinnear are saying.

Can someone name me a current good English manager? I genuinely cannot name a single one. The English managers in the PL next season: Pardew, Allardyce, Bruce, Holloway. Thanks. Out of that list I think I would only be able to really tolerate Holloway, and he's a mad bastard himself too.

It's such a hard thing for people to do. They want to make some kind of stand against Ashley but it means giving up something they love and do every weekend, plus knowing more than likely if they give up their seat someone else will happily come along and take it anyway.

Or he over steps the mark talking about other clubs players/tapping up etc and ends up getting us transfer embargoed or something.

will you be changing your name to simply 'Geordie' ?

Can someone name me a current good English manager? I genuinely cannot name a single one.

Can we reset this? I want to express my anger with a dramatic 10

Absolutely despised Pardew last season but he is just simply far more likeable than JFK.

I'm hoping the media don't focus too much on the mispronunciation of names as he might get sympathy for that and focus more on the bare faced lying instead.

This thread has just reminded me why I stick with this club through all the crap. The fans. They always have been and always will be the best thing about this club.

I can't get over the lie about how he signed Krul? We signed Krul before Ashley had even brought the club. Why does he think he can get away with this stuff?

You completely froze at the mike bit

I wish one of these "reporters" who keep getting phone interviews would have the balls and knowledge to pull him up on the crap he says.
