Optimistic Nut Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The chronicle reckons he'll move upstairs and replace Wise for next season. wise for the manager job With hindsight, would have been much better had we just named him manager in September instead of Hughton, then Kinnear, and now Hughton & Calderwood.

Syrette Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Supposedly we'll know more after Monday. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/mar/30/newcastleunited-mike-ashley Newcastle United could be forced to appoint yet another short-term "firefighter" manager after Joe Kinnear suggested that he might not be able to fully resume managerial duties this season. All decisions are on hold until next Monday when Kinnear, who underwent a triple bypass operation in February, has an appointment with a cardiologist. After carrying out a series of tests, the specialist will inform Kinneear whether he can return to work before the end of May, yet the Irishman admits that even if he does come back it might be in an advisory role. "Whatever happens I'll have an input, it's as simple as that," said the 62-year-old. "If I can't do certain things I'll still be speaking to staff and players at the club. I'll have a major say." In the manager's absence Newcastle have been under the reluctant charge of the first-team coach Chris Hughton but with form dismal and relegation now a real possibility, the temptation could be to introduce a "firefighter" to help ensure Premier League survival. Despite persistent noises to the contrary from the boardroom there are strong suggestions that Newcastle have discreetly sounded out an available, "credible" manager about the possibility of taking over if doctors deem Kinnear unfit to continue. Terry Venables, who annoyed Mike Ashley, the club's owner, by refusing the job before Kinnear's appointment, is not believed to be the man in question. Whatever happens between now and May it seems Kinnear is eyeing a possible move upstairs. Indeed with his current, short-term managerial deal due to expire in June and a two-year contract extension still unsigned, the possibility of the former Wimbledon manager accepting the job as Dennis Wise's successor is growing. Wise is likely to leave this summer after not only a cooling of his relationship with Ashley but mounting frustration with his own, increasingly amorphous, role.Tellingly Wise is said to have been irked when Ashley allowed Kinnear to sign the Danish winger Peter Lovenkrands against his advice. A director of football post also could suit Kinnear as it would enable him to spend part of the week at his north London home. Whether his successor as manager – and Ashley has his eye on Wigan's Steve Bruce – would countenance working with him is another matter, though. "I'm just desperate to be back to do what I can for Newcastle," said Kinnear. "I still think we have enough quality players to see us through this. And I want to say that what's happening at Newcastle now will never happen again." Meanwhile Derek Llambias has claimed relegation would not force the club into administration and that Ashley is not planning to sell it. "If we were relegated we'd have to restructure our business plan like everybody else," Newcastle's managing directorn said. "But our finances are strong and there would be no threat of administration. The club is not for sale, that's not where we want to go." To be fair... I don't think anyone decent would want to come in for the long term right about now. When we find out what league we'll be playing in next season I'd like to think we'd make longer term plans, with the right people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 If all this talk of kinnear staying past the summer is anything but the management being nice until he's gone, it's a fucking joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 JFK not well enough to manage the first team, Wise SHOCK HORROR has fallen out with folk & may do one in the summer, so the current crowd may move JFK in. FUCK OFF MAN!!! I think Mort has to take some flak for all this it was him that installed Dirty Den & said at the time "Dennis wanted to move away from day-to-day football management", to me the DOF AKA ED(F) is DAY-TO-DAY FOOTBALL MANAGEMENT bar the training & match day. He gave another fella the grand fucking title of Vice President (Player Recruitment) & then told us he would be PART TIME!!!! None of the fuckers had to live in the area either, I cant think of another football club where key people don't fucking live near the club, no doubt if JFK got the gig he will be working out of JFK HQ in Hertfordshire. This club needs people slogging there guts out FULL TIME & not giving key jobs to people who want or have to step out of the firing line of football management.

Thespence Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 With a slump in season ticket sales maybe JFK is all we can afford. Who will get the managers job if JFK is whisked down the M1 to operate from JFK HQ? You can see Calderwood in the running & maybe some fucker like Barry Fry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone had said to you then that in 6 years time we would be so shit that we would be thinking of appointing Fry or someone as equally shit as him (Kinnear), you would have been locked up in a mental hospital!

Guest Sniffer Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 To be perfectly honest, the club would have been better off if kinnear had pulled a jock stein. What can a man who gave ameobi a three year contract possibly offer the club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
