hakka Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 All depends on how well he does. If we finish worse than last year, he goes. If we improve... he stays. Just think that's how Ashley will judge it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 As long as Mike is the owner, he will stay. Simple as that really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewellander Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I'm genuinely grateful to Joe for coming in and more-or-less steadying the ship. He's done an adequate job as manager, in the midst of instability, crowd unrest, a major injury crisis, and the fact that he hasn't brought in any of his own players. I know that people are unhappy with all the stupid and contradictory sh*t that comes out of his mouth, but if Derek Llambias did his job and actually communicated with the press and the fans, that wouldn't be such an issue. I honestly feel that Kinnear is aware of the nebulous vacuum that is the NUFC communications strategy, and makes the choice (albeit the wrong one) to fill it with whatever he can. But it's increasingly evident that even he isn't being talked to by the upper management. That being said, I don't think that he's the best choice long-term. I'd like to see him go at the end of the season, but with the appreciation of the fans for the commitment he's shown to the club and the work that he's done under poor circumstances.

buzza Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 It will make absolutely no difference whatsoever if he stays or not in the summer as I can-t see ashley splashing the cash to buy the players we desperately need. I aslo think another year with Kinnear would not be a disaster, who are we to want a top class manager? Has anybody noticed that we are a laughing stock, a mid tabkle team at best and the only well regarded sector of our club are us, the fans... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think he will be, unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anybody noticed that we are a laughing stock, a mid tabkle team at best and the only well regarded sector of our club are us, the fans... which is why we need to keep him in charge for the season at least. although i really hope that he is replaced in the summmer by someone better. not that we can hope for the best of managers at all.

ElDiablo Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I thank Joe for his bottle and honesty in taking on a horrible job which no one else would touch after Keegan's walkout, and subsequently returning some stability and even turning us into a team which could defend away from home for the first time in years. Further to that he had the balls to tell the parasites in the press what someone in the club should have told them years ago and I admire him for that. But no, longer term we need another guy at the helm and I'm pretty sure he will be replaced in the summer. Pretty much my thoughts exactly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
