RIP Joe Kinnear (1946–2024)

[Skirge]

I wish death upon him..there I said it, harsh maybe but its how I feel.

[nufcjb]

I've said it before and I will say it again. I wish this f***ing guy just dies..the guy just brings no good at all..all he does is rant, screwing and messing about with other people's business, being proud of who is and the thing I hate the most about him is he talks out of his ass..that part about him and Sir Alex talking every week..like Sir Alex wants to chat with him every week..

 

Yeah I'm going to the parade to celebrate his death one day..the guy can just p*ss off..

[B-more Mag]

I'd be pretty happy if he left the club and spent some time with his grand kids, calling them funny names. That's just me, though.

[Guest tollemache]

Yeah actually wanting him to die isn't just a matter of "harsh perhaps" - that's being a fucking repulsive cretin isn't it. If that is how you actually feel.

Really, really hope not.

 

[Guest tollemache]

argh, that would tip me over the edge perhaps (not to being a death-wishing cretin, just to really really really not liking what Ashley is doing)

 

Carr is at the absolute epicentre of what I think has been good about Ashley's running of the club in the last X years. There is no way it's not a catastrophic blunder if we force him out

I don't know what to make of Kinnear, I don't like him as a person and I don't rate him even a tiny bit professionally, but I also genuinely don't think he's all there mentally. I found that talksport interview hilarious and called him a bullshitter, but the more I thought about it and the inaccuracies the less funny it was. I don't want to laugh or hate a man I suspect has dementia(or something like that), and watching him get torn apart by the media and fans is a bit uncomfortable, not that it's their fault, it's 100% Ashley's fault.

He's just a deluded old cunt who drinks himself stupid all the time.

But the fact he was telling Bobby Gould about the signings he'd made for Wimbledon, when it was Gould that had made the signings. It was just really odd.

[Mick]

I don't want Kinnear to die but I wouldn't be bothered in the slightest if he did, going before the start of the season and at the same time as Ashley would be a bonus.

[B-more Mag]

Giving everybody the greatest benefit of the doubt possible, how did they let Kinnear--a notably bad media representative--get out there and do his drunken uncal shit right out of the gate? At the very, very best it's unadulterated incompetence.

[prefabtoon]

Rumor is graham carr is next one to resign this is getting serious.

[chicago_shearer]

Really hoping the media wind him up enough that he throws a punch or says something bigoted. Best chance of getting rid of him.

Sadly he's here to stay. Llambias can resign, Carr can quit, Pardew can walk (unlikely) or be sacked and he will outlast all of them.

 

The only way he will go is due to health reasons. Maybe institutionalized would be a good bet.

[Mr Logic]

Just shows how little Ashley understands football or football people, if by sitting listening to the gobshites drunken ramblings in the pub about how he, (Kinnear), would sort out all the problems and Ashley buys it hook, line and sinker. Thinks Kinnear is the answer, how spectacularily poor a judge of character does that actually make him?

 

If their conversations went anything like that radio interview then Ashley thinks Kinnear is the true messiah. What crap has he told Ashley over the years?

[sugoinufc]

Carr is Ashley biggest asset - if he is leaving as rumoured then we are truly f*cked. Carr´s work has been the only positive thing and important thing for this club the last years!

He's definitely off imo...threes a crowd and all that

[Tsunami]

Think Kinnear has Tompkins in his FM game - he plays for England. We are a complete laughing stock, if Ashley has any the best interests of the club at heart he personally needs to get the key staff together and thrash this out. It may well mean casualties and we probably won't like these but the longer this instability and unrest goes on the worse the damage will become.

 

The fact that Ashley has so far done nothing to arrest the spiral into utter chaos suggests he simply doesn't give a flying fuck.

 

If Carr does go we will have key players on the phone to their Agents asking for a move. Will Kinnear be worried? Course he won't be; his arrogance is such that he does believe that he can throw a team together made up of nobodies who he can bully into performing. A circus act.

 

SJP is going to be to toxic if this fool is allowed to systematically destroy the fabric of our club. My initial laughter is fast turning into real hatred and worry. I'm dreading the start of the season.

[Darth Crooks]

This name stuff has to be deliberate and some sort of agenda driven, sick joke. I know hes fucking nuts but no way you could get those names wrong like that after knowing how it disenfranchised players before. Maybe this is me trying to make sense of all this; but is Ashley engineering some sort of scorched earth policy with a firesale of the more lucrative talent and a completely blank slate being cleared for Uncal Joe?  At best it could be a firesale with a view to leaving.

I doubt Ashley will back down even if it means losing Carr, he knew the risks when appointing him, the plot has been totally lost.

AAAARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

HE IS THE FUCKING BASTARD CAUSE OF THE TURMOIL!!!

 

JOE Kinnear insists he has the experience to guide Newcastle United through their time of turmoil.

 

Less than 24 hours after Kinnear was officially announced by the club as their new director of football, Mike Ashley’s right hand man Derek Llambias stepped down.

 

Llambias quit as managing director after five often controversial years in the hotseat.

 

It completed a manic few days, even by Newcastle’s tumultuous standards, which started on Sunday with the news that Kinnear was set for a shock return to St James’s Park.

 

His gobsmacking radio interview on Monday night – where he pronounced Llambias’ name wrong, among others – added to the sense of farce around the club.

 

Llambias was keeping his own counsel yesterday on the reasons for his departure, with some reports suggesting Kinnear’s arrival as director of football, and his comments, played a part in his decision.

 

Kinnear, for his part however, believes he is well suited to his new role, and says he has the experience to make it a success.

 

“Being director of football is another step in my football life,” he said. “It is a natural progression.

 

“I have been in the game since I was 15 and played in the top stadiums in the world.

 

“That experience, plus my experiences as a manager, holds me in good stead.

 

“It is a great position for me and I’m proud to take it.”

 

While Kinnear is confident he can make the step up to boardroom level, he will not be left in sole charge of the club in Llambias’ absence.

 

Instead, Ashley will look to replace Llambias as soon as possible, though the timing of the resignation, so soon after Kinnear’s appointment, and the fact that he leaves with immediate effect, suggests it came out of the blue to the Newcastle owner.

 

A section of fans would like to see Chris Mort, who was popular as chairman when Ashley first took over the club, to take the helm again, but the Gazette understands the lawyer has no interest in returning to the club.

 

Llambias’ resignation leaves manager Alan Pardew in a difficult position as well, with the MD his closest ally at the club.

 

Kinnear’s arrival had left question marks over the Toon manager’s future, but Pardew yesterday said he had no plans to resign himself.

Geordie Hill, 45, unemployed, from Newcastle’s West End, said: “Joe Kinnear should not have been brought back in and Ashley should sell the club  . . . . I’m very disappointed at everything that’s happened over the past few days.”

 

Cheryl Hill, 30, a full-time mum from Newcastle’s West End, said: “Ashley needs to go next. We need a Geordie to come in and take over, I think he needs to go, sell up and leave. Everything is a mess at the moment, it is ridiculous.”

 

Lauren Hill, 16, a student from Newcastle’s West End, said: “Alan Shearer should still be here, that’s the time when I enjoyed it, when it was Geordie’s behind it. I think we will go down next season now because it has all been too messed up.”

Its still an up hill battle though

[Skirge]

Well one thing is for sure this is not going to blow over, the dust will not settle, fans are not going to get used to it things will not go all quiet as the deluded cunt won't allow it. He is going to bang on week after week, there will be some sort of JFK story to keep us all furious for the start of the season.
