NUFC_Sam Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Still can't get my head around it. It's not like a managerial appointment that has to be made. I bet MA thought that he couldn't fuck us with another shit managerial appointment as we already have Pards so he just added JFK in to a new role just to see us suffer. Wouldn't be surprised if we see Dennis Wise replace Graham Carr as chief scout soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexthegreat Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Clueless Mike Ashley highlighted his lack of football knowledge by claiming Newcastle manager Joe Kinnear is better than Fabio Capello. The Newcastle chairman brought Kinnear back from the football wilderness three months ago after Kevin Keegan walked away from the club and Terry Venables turned down Ashley's approach. The appointment threatened to make even more of a mockery of struggling Newcastle, but now Ashley insists his man is better than the England boss. Speaking to The Sun, Ashley said: 'Joe’s the man to do the job. He’s my hero. Is he better than Capello? Definitely. We are going to be in Europe by the end of the season. I think Ashley genuinely rates Kinnear for some unfathomable reason and he wants to show that he knows better than anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Already the new campaign is well placed to end in disaster and it's two months before a ball is kicked. Question is as to why this has been done, other than Ashley appointing another of his friend's and once again, doing it to spite the fans and show them who is boss? It's madness, it's football, it's Newcastle United - as someone once said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-more Mag Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I guess if I were mega rich I'd do whatever the fuck I'd like, too. But, I'd like to think that even then it wouldn't be totally embarrassing for a huge population that holds something very dear. Total dick move by Ashley.

Guest bimpy474 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 As much as i think this is a mad decision, i'm glad it's been done now and not during the season. At least there are two months to sort things out, into something that looks like a structure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexthegreat Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Sentence in an article in the Independent today: The decision to bring Kinnear back has Ashley’s fingerprints all over it as he has always privately maintained that the former Republic of Ireland international is the best manager he has worked with in his six years at St James’ Park, despite Kinnear winning only four of his 20 games between September 2008 and February 2009. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/10123496/Joe-Kinnear-set-to-make-shock-return-to-Newcastle-United-as-director-of-football-in-management-shake-up.html He just really rates Kinnear, it's as straightforward as that imo. I really think it's likely he'll replace Pardew at some point this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
