Guest toonlass Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 He has a history of heart trouble though. Coupled with high blood pressure (and we don't know if he passed out etc in the hotel) then they may keep him in for observation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edd Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Feel gutted for Joe, he absoloutly wanted the best for this club and anyone who thikns otherwise can fuck off! Knowone else wanted the post which he took on and to be fair to him he's put up with a lot of shit from both the board of this club over transfers and the majority fans who i believe have never accepted him and what he was trying to do. Until these two factors are resolved this club will never turn the corner. All i can say is get well soon Joe, thankyou for stepping up the plate and trying to save this club when knowone else could give a fuck, and if he has any sense he'l drop his dream of football management and concentrate on living the rest of his life. what are you actually SAYING here though? that 'wanting the best for the club' is a trait that should be applauded in a manager? isnt that part of the definition of a managers job? its like praising a mother for feeding her children. who never accepted what he was trying to do? he's been trying to win football matches for nufc, which nufc fans didnt accept that? he took the job because he was desperate to get back into management, he was desperate to get back into management because no-one would give him a job, no-one would give him a job because he's not a good manager. just because he's in hospital doesnt mean we have to wax lyrical about him. I know one thing. If a few more players wanted what was best for the club then we wouldn't be in half the mess we are now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 He has a history of heart trouble though. Coupled with high blood pressure (and we don't know if he passed out etc in the hotel) then they may keep him in for observation. If his high blood pressure caused him to pass out then he'll have a rare form of high blood pressure and Newcastle United is no environment for someone who suffers from such a form of hypertension.

NE5 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Have to agree with the sentiments wishing him all the best, and to be honest if we don't go down, then I personally will give Kinnear as much credit as possible for keeping us up and well deserved too. The bigger picture is that it has to tell Mike Ashley, or whoever he can sell the club to, to move on and look elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 blessing in disguise for him and us imo, he's had a scare without it being serious so hopefully he'll be ok we've been scared to shit with him as manager since he walked through the door so maybe this will be a wake up call for us too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 for keeping us up when no-one wanted the job and we were heading for oblivion, yes i think he is a legend.

Skirge Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 This was bound to happen, after what went on in the transfer window JK said this a risk, I guess Shay feels happy now that he has been given the okay. Afte all it was Given's fault, Joe said "Shay leaving has left me heartbroken". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggs Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I dont in anyway wish ill health on the guy but in the short and long term it cannot be in his best interests with a medical condition like he has to return to us , Joe keen on quick return Feb 9 2009 by Mark Douglas, The Journal JOE Kinnear is determined to brush off his weekend health scare and return to leading Newcastle United’s fight for Premier League survival. Kinnear spent the weekend in Good Hope hospital in Sutton Coldfield after falling ill at United’s Belfry training base on Saturday morning, reporting symptoms of pins and needles in his side and high blood pressure. With his history of heart problems, Kinnear was admitted to hospital immediately and was due to be released today after being kept under observation for a couple of nights in the West Midlands. The Newcastle boss was comfortable in hospital last night and already indicating that he intends to resume his frontline duties after a period of recuperation – although there will be consultations with doctors before a final decision is made. It remains to be seen what the advice of medical professionals will be to United’s 62-year-old boss, and both the club and Kinnear will be will duty bound to listen to any definitive advice given to them. But first-team coach Chris Hughton, who oversaw the team’s crucial 3-2 victory over West Brom on Saturday, says that Kinnear has already indicated his desire to return to work as soon as possible. “Joe is in very good spirits, he was on good form and sort of dismissing it all really. He couldn’t really see what the fuss is about and his thinking is very much looking forward to getting back to work as soon as possible,” he said. “It was typical of Joe when we went to see him – all he was interested in was how the team had done and the way he was talking he is determined to be back. He is the type of person who will dismiss things like this; his main priority was the result, which he was delighted with. “We’ll know the exact situation later in the week I’m sure, he was due to be released today and any decisions will be made by Joe and the doctors. “That’s for them to make the ultimate decision.” Hughton will take control of first-team duties along with fellow coach Colin Calderwood if Kinnear is forced into any prolonged absence from his managerial duties. United would look to appoint another manager if health concerns made it impossible for Kinnear to return but at the moment that eventuality appears far from the minds of Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias, who visited their ailing manager on Saturday night after watching the team win at the Hawthorns. “I think Joe was particularly happy with the three points at West Brom, as we all were,” Hughton added. “We are all aware of the games that we have to play, and we’ve got some difficult teams to play in the next few weeks, so this was a game we really had to win. “Looking at the results of the teams around us, this gives us a huge opportunity to build and get away from the relegation zone. It was hugely important – we all knew that.” The news on Kinnear’s condition appears to suggest that it is not a serious problem. A club spokesman said: “He underwent a series of tests during the day and the subsequent results have shown he is okay. “As a precaution, Joe will remain in hospital for observation for a couple of days and will then be discharged.” Skipper Nicky Butt admitted it was good to give Kinnear a lift with the victory – and dismissed talk that the manager’s illness might have taken away from their focus ahead of a game of huge importance. “Not really, no. We were focused on a massive task, which was to get three points, anyway,” the midfielder said. “I think he’s just been taken for tests and the like. It’s nice to win it and give him a bit of lift. “But it wasn’t a case if added motivation because we were really focused on the game anyway.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toon Barmy Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hope he returns sharpish. Houghton is not up to it and i dread to think who Ashley's next choice would be if Joe left. Why would Ashley look anywhere else when we have an ex-manager already at the club in DENNIS WISE? Makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Fuck Kinnear and Curbishley, get Scolari in now. Sack Wise and the rest of the recruitment-crew, give Scolari the time and patience he deserves and watch us shoot up the league. If only it was that simple.

oldtype Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Curbs would be an excellent appointment. Although I wouldn't think that we could get him because he'd be a bit wary of who he's working under due to how things ended for him at West Ham. Would be about on par with Steve Bruce.

Kimbo Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I've no idea why Curbishley would come here. Because he's unemployed? Curbishley will be lucky if his next job is in the top flight, if i was him i would jump at the chance. Personally i don't rate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 So he's a legend now for keeping us up when no-one wanted the job and we were heading for oblivion, yes i think he is a legend. a one season wonder in a positive sense if he carries on next season however, i will re-consider my feelings towards him He should be thanked for what he's done if we stay up, but not celebrated. Keeping a team up doesnt mean he's a legend, if anything it means he's shit but has balls. Thats my take on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Oh man, this is the single most frustrating thing, Im so desperate the club to make the right decision, it needs to be an appointment which we can envisage lasting for more than 3 years, Curbishley isnt the right man, better than Jose but not the right man. Please, please, please get this right. There has to be a good manager out there who who's looking in our direction, I love the club to show some ambition and have a word with Scolari, there arent many big clubs who need him at the moment, surely he'd consider another crack in the prem, much like Sven.

colinmk Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Curbishley, a manager who has proven he can't work under exactly the structure we have at the club. In his short tenure as West Ham boss all I remember is him making them really dull and buying shite players. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up here right enough.
