huss9 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Newcastle want Joe Kinnear to end "horrible" power struggle between Alan Pardew and scout Graham Carr 20 Jun 2013 22:30 Ashley hopes controversial, combative new director of football can make peace as manager and chief talent-spotter feud over signings Referee! Can Kinnear stop Pardew and Carr "stabbing each other in the back"? Referee! Can Kinnear stop Pardew and Carr "stabbing each other in the back"? Getty Joe Kinnear has been brought to Newcastle United to bang heads together and end a feud between manager Alan Pardew and his chief scout, Graham Carr. Pardew and Carr have been at odds for months, and there have been disagreements over the Magpies' past and future signings. Now Kinnear, a man ironically renowned for his confrontational style and ability to divide opinion, has been parachuted into the internal battle as all-powerful referee and peace-maker. The Geordies' owner, sportswear tycoon Mike Ashley, wanted to introduce a trusted outside figure in a bid to snuff out the damaging power struggle. Pardew has complained that some of the players landed by Carr have not been good enough - a view the latter hotly disputes. For example, midfielder Vurnon Anita was signed for £5.6million from Ajax last summer, but has not been trusted with a long run in the side. Newcastle United Tangled web: Pardew is involved in "frightening" battle of wills Newcastle Utd via Getty There has also been doubt about the best position for France international Moussa Sissoko. He has been played as an attacking midfielder or on the right wing, but could be more influential as a holding midfielder. Carr has championed the policy of buying up young, foreign talent, but Pardew now wants to balance that with a couple of experienced new stars. Success stories from Carr's approach include bargain signings Hatem Ben Arfa and Yohan Cabaye, who were bought for a combined £11m. But with 10 players in his squad for whom French is the first language, Pardew has argued he wants more English speakers with top flight experience to balance the dressing room dynamic and end communication issues. The stand-off between manager and chief scout led to a breakdown in relations towards the end of last season, with the pair said by an insider who had observed the dynamics to be “stabbing each other in the back.” Hit: Carr unearthed Ben Arfa... Ian Horrocks The rift put Ashley in a difficult position as both Pardew and Carr are in the first 12 months of eight-year contracts. Ashley’s disgust at the way Newcastle plunged from fifth-place finishers in 2012 to relegation contenders resulted in his decision to bring in trusted drinking-buddy Kinnear as his eyes and ears at the training ground. The 66-year-old is tasked with reporting directly to Ashley and providing his own take on events. A Toon insider explained: “Carr and Pardew are at daggers drawn. Carr says that the players he has brought in are good enough, Pardew says they are not. “Kinnear has been brought in as a trouble-shooter, as Ashley does not know what to do - he doesn’t know who is right or who is wrong. “Kinnear has been brought in to do Ashley’s dirty work. Miss: ...but Anita has been less successful Michael Regan “There is a stand-off between Carr and Pardew. There was hardly any communication between them towards the end of last season and there is little now. “Both are on massive contracts. Carr is stabbing Pardew in the back, and vice versa. “It is a horrible situation. The internal wranglings and politics at the club is frightening. I’ve never seen or known a situation as intense or as bad as this.” Newcastle’s next signing will be yet another Frenchman - 17-year-old Metz striker Olivier Kemen.

Guest bimpy474 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Brought in to end a huge feud between Carr and pardew according to Simon bird in tomorrow's mirror. He's going to back Pardew isn't he? He's going to look at all those weird foreign names that Carr keeps coming up with compared to Pardew's list of English cloggers and end up fucking Carr off. His manager ego might kick in, and he may well go the other way and think Pardew useless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Five o Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 JFK to solve a feud? Really? Better bring the popcorn, it will not end well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 IF that turns out to be true, should just have given Pardew the sack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 So Pardew is blaming Carr for the players not being good enough for his tactics, and despite him playing Sissoko out of position, that's also Carr fault. Righto. Pardew doesn't do taking the blame does he. JFK in to calm it all down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Shifting Pardew would have sorted it. The players are good enough, Pardew just hasn't a fucking clue what to do with them and plays them out of position. Fuck off Alan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Carr's probably doing his nut at recommending players like Anita - only to see the ball being launched over his head in the brief outings he gets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 IF that turns out to be true, should just have given Pardew the sack. This is all it fucking takes On top his shit tactics and poor leadership, if he's not getting along with our one success just fucking sack him instead of hiring an alcoholic to destroy the club through PR.

Stuy_O Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Still think this is all to force Pardew out and not pay him his compensation. Carr stays and JFK or whoever get the managers job. What a universe of fuck ups this is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allmo Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 This whole shit storm makes me believe that Pardew may actually have a standard 8 Year contract without defined compensation (e.g. a Years Salary) if he was to be sacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Carr and Pardew at logger heads with signing. JFK is brought in to sort it out. Makes sense because Lambeasy will only take Pardew's side. hmm? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Must say, it does make sense. Just wish he didn't choose this idiotic cretin to be the mediator. Judging by the Douglas fiasco, I fear he'll side with Pardew too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
