Football advisor Kia drives into Toon

 

Jan 9 2011 By Alan Oliver, The People

 

NEWCASTLE UNITED have appointed controversial Iranian businessman Kia Joorabchian as their football advisor.

 

The news will shock the Toon army but the Newcastle top brass are looking to cash in on Joorabchian’s worldwide galaxy of players.

 

At the last count the Iranian had the image rights to 60 or 70 top players throughout the world

 

The most famous is Carlos Tevez at Manchester City who hangs on every word the Iranian-born British-educated businessman tells him.

 

And Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is no stranger to Joorabchian influence.

 

For it was in his time as manager of West Ham that Joorabchian brought Argentinians Tevez and Javier Mascherano to Upton Park.

'have appointed'....it's happened = facts?

 

What the fuck is he up to?

 

And is this an official role, ie we're employing him?

I'm just surprised that the phrases "I understand" and "wide of the mark" haven't been used in the article

 

I understand that suggestions he was going to use those phrases are wide of the mark.

I doubt he's doing it for free? :dontknow:

 

Something's not right. I am a cynical cunt though.

Presume Dave means as in will he be directly employed by the club or just do some contract work finding players etc.
