Guest Geordiecunny Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 We're a club in turmoil and anyone who can go six games unbeaten under these circumstances is doing well. Can't believe people jumped on his back when we had a few dodgy results. Thats the sort of thinking that makes us a laughing stock every few months.

Zero Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Probably he has the best tactical mind among all the managers since Sir Bobby Robson, honestly. He did make some faults but several tactical decisions ahs been fucking spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 The fundamental reasons behind this thread still hasn't changed. I still don't think Kinnear is a good manager and I think the vast majority here would agree that he's not somebody we want long term. But I can't be bothered to talk about anything negative today, so fuck it. Howay the lads. Yeah, absolutely spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did make some faults but several tactical decisions ahs been fucking spot on. I wouldn't say that at all really. In the last couple of games he's simply just realised he needs to play it by the book, no funny business. He's grown some balls aswell, in fairness - he's made the right decisions keeping the likes of Duff and Taylor out of the team. Best tactician since Bobby, though? Nah - Keegan easily imo.

Guest Geordiecunny Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Only one defeat in the last nine games, if we can get 4/6 points out of the next two games i'll be chuffed to bits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 The mans done really really well for the club but i still wouldnt want him for any longer than the end of the season. Wouldnt mind giving hima role at the club, althoughi doubt he'd take it (and it'd purely be for sentimental reasons). Really think if Ashley wants to stay than he needs to make another ambitious appointment at the end of the season and give the fans more hope of sustained success for the future.

Let's hope he does a Roeder...but this time we don't give him the 2-year contract. Thank him for what he's done but move on. Would be a shame because I'd like to see him stay at the club in some capacity, but I think he'll have had the taste for management back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i dont think Kinnear has the most skill as a manager to build a future for the club, we've seen before with Roeder that achieving good league positions still isnt a great indicator of how good a manager will be for us. EDIT: Why am i talking about this? Just beat Spurs, well done Joe. Credit where credits due. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_69 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 So we wait 5 years for a manager who can make us hard to beat, who the players really want to play for, who can help turn St James into a fortress again and who brings back winnning football. Then when we get him we suggest getting rid of him at the end of the season because he isn't a big enough name for a team like Newcastle United? Get fucked!!! He's earnt a long-term contract already as far as i'm concerned. Get him signed up - if it ain't broke don't try to fix it.

Guest The German Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 It will more then alot depend on what Kinnear is doing in the January transfer window. What transfer direction he's going too. What kind of players he's going to bring us! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Very impressed that he's learning from his mistakes. I'd still want someone else given the choice (don't ask who), but he's winning me over. A manager who isn't afraid to admit his mistakes and take measures to rectify them always impresses me.

pedro111 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Lets be honest here, I am as delighted as anyone that we have won the last two games but we have fluked them plain and simple. Even against Pompey, it was just one of those games that you get once a year or every couple of years or so when everything goes right for you. And thats the bottom line, plain and simple.

pedro111 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 We fluked the Pompey game? We were easily the better team. On another day, most away days infact, at least one of Defoes or Crouch's chances would have went in and we would have capitulated. That you cannot deny. On the day in question though, everything went right for us and we won, like I say, the law of averages gives you one of these days every year or so and against Pompey it was it. Dont see whats wrong with pointing that out, bet we dont win more than 3 aways all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
