Taylor Swift Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'm just happy we have an old school football manager who has bags of experience and a solid temprament. Just the sort of bloke we need to see us through this mess. Not sure about making him permanent yet, but I've been really impressed with him so far. Giving him the job permanently would be ridiculous. Ok, he's been good so far, but we're only saying this because of the shite that was served up in the month prior. I still can't get over the fact that KK's gone. Impressive start to the season, a decent squad... and then boom, just like that, our season's nearly wiped out. As is stands, we're 8 points behind a UEFA Cup spot. Plenty of time to catch up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I think Kinnear's appointment will be allowed to run it's course. If new owners come in and the team has recovered sufficiently well, JFK will probably continue until he hits a wall. If they are in by November that might change as I'm not sure they would back Kinnear in the transfer market, they might prefer their own man in. I think Keegan's chances of coming back have probably lessened though. Walking away from a team which is then revived by Dinosaur Joe won't paint him in a great light with future employers IMO.

farfrompuken Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Don't know if anyone saw it but before the game on Setanta last night they had a couple of fans from around the ground giving their views. One guy came out with "I think if he wins a couple of games and gets us a few points he should get the job for life." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieMandias Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Of course it's too early to judge the guy yet, but he's beginning to look like he may have been a good choice for the job at hand. Let's face it, though most of us rightly applauded his tirade at the press, we started out with as jaundiced a view of Kinnear as they did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJbarnes Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 permananent, no thanks. but, im much less hurried to get the new board in when we were losing under hughton. what i will say is, even when we do get them in, ill be hoping they take their time to appoint the new manager, rather than appointing someone straight away. if the takeover doesnt happen until the end of the season, ill have confidence in results. actually that rasies a point: if the takeover didnt happen until the end of the season, and kinnear won us the FA cup, what do you think (and want) would happen?

Pilko Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 If Kinnear gets good results and then the new owners come in, I could easily see them keeping Kinnear on until close season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, tbf, judging kinnear on 'if he wins the fa cup' is on a par with shola getting 15 goals a season, you'd stick with both, but neither are ever going to happen.

Newcastle Fan Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Didn't the same happen with Roeder when we all knew he wasn't good enough but after a good run of games we all becamse delusional and wanted him in charge? No for me, unless he comes up with something really impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest if ameobi plays every remaining game this season he might reach 15 goals but theres no chance in the next 3 seasons we are going to win the fa cup at this rate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToonArmy Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Exclusive: Steven Taylor desperate for Newcastle to stick with a manager By Simon Bird 3/11/2008 Steven Taylor wants Newcastle to stick with a manager long-term - after admitting he found it tough when Kevin Keegan quit the club. The Geordie defender is just 22, but has already played under SIX bosses at St James' Park. He said: "It was hard when Kevin left. "When you keep changing your manager it's always hard. It just seems like every manager comes here and only gets a year. "So far I have played for Sir Bobby Robson, Graeme Souness, Glenn Roeder, Sam Allardyce, Kevin Keegan and now Joe Kinnear. That's six! "But I think Joe Kinnear has steadied the ship, given us confidence, and done things his way. "People have forgotten what an amazing record he had at Wimbledon - he gets an extra 10 per cent out of people." http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/2008/11/03/exclusive-steven-taylor-desperate-for-newcastle-to-stick-with-a-manager-115875-20865394/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 As long as he keeps us up I'm happy to stick with him until the end of the season. I wouldn't like us to keep him permanently as I think we need a top manager if we are ever to regain our place near the top of the table. Form is temporary, class is permanent, I think you can apply this to managers aswell, in joe's case I think he has more of the former than the latter...

Guest The Toon Army from farawa Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 My thought is no way. He shouldn't be here at all. He would be nobodies tenth choice never mind first. Any manager coming in would make a difference to the team. We needed a manager and not coach, which he is. He's the only one that would take the job. The type of footbal he plays is worse than allerdyce at bolton. Ameobi and Duff appear to be undropable with him. The problem is the timing of the selling, if it ever happens.

oldtype Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 If Ashley fails to sell, he'll likely be made permanent. Wouldn't be good for the club, but better than failing miserably with a big-money manager I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Well done Joe. Still don't want you here full time, but well done nonetheless. Toon from far away: I think we're getting a mix of Allardyce and Keegan here tbh. We've hoofed it at times aye but we're also playing some decent passing on the deck.
