AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I understand the need to work with people who you trust, but if he appointed DL and AP for that reason than why does he need Kinnear in there as well? And if he's run out of patience with either of them, why not just replace? Trust is important but it's not like he's running an intelligence agency. It depends what you think the first priority was. Either 1) Ashley wants a DOF in based on recent meetings with DL/AP etc, then he's chosen one from his very small list of people he's prepared to employ, or 2) Ashley specifically wants JFK in there to regulate what DL/AP are doing. I would say the first one is more likely. But seriously, how hard can it be to chat to a few people who are relatively normal and know a bit about football? Just hoping that JFK is here mainly in a spying/rebalancing things for Ashley role, and he won't actually be able to do much damage to our recruitment and all that.

thomas Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Is it just Joe saying anything still? Could the "contract I signed over lunch with Mike" have been all in his head? Is it amoral to believe the best outcome here is that we're the victim of the overactive imagination of a madman? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Didn't cider Ryder tweet yesterday that there was going to be an "unveiling" later this week? I'm beginning to think they'll put something official out then, even though it's all out in the open anyway. Wouldn't surprise me if the twerp was meant to keep his gob shut until then anyway.

JH Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Asked a local journo before. Jonny Hall @jonnyehall @milesstarforth Have the club actually confirmed it yet, privately or otherwise? All we have is the ramblings of Kinnear to say he's back. Miles Starforth @milesstarforth @jonnyehall No comment from the club, but it's true.

Well yeah, or a confirmation. Unless there's some serious discussions behind the scenes about precisely what's been agreed with Kinnear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I think the delay may be due to the shock of it coming out either unplanned or unknown, there will be a furious meeting going on right now trying to work out how to handle this, the longer it takes to the more fkd up the situation would appear to be.

TK-421 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Brighton forums (gaffer is a Brighton fan) reckon this move is to oust Pardew and bring Poyet in. * Sorry if aged philandering welshman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 If they wanted Pardew gone he would have just been sacked, fans were crying out for it so its not like it was going to be met with anger, not like this utterly fucking stupid decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
