Deuce Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 So he's from Sunderland, but played for Newcastle as well, but we hate him because he's a cunt and an idiot. Is that an accurate measure of the man? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Mick Harford feels that Kinnear’s experience and knowledge of football makes him an asset for United – and his appointment should be seen as a “good thing” for Alan Pardew. “First and foremost Joe is a very close friend of mine. He is excellent – he’s tactically very aware of what is going on and believe me, he has a fantastic relationship with everybody at every football club he goes to,” Harford told The Journal. “He’s a proper football man and he probably doesn’t get the credit he deserves. “He’s got this fantastic experience and knowledge and while I wouldn’t compare him to someone like Sir Bobby Robson – who was a one-off – he has that sort of knowledge of the game from a long time ago. “Joe is very popular at the football clubs he works for. “He will go in and get to know the chairman, the kit man, the tea lady – he will get to know what makes people tick and he won’t go in there with an agenda. “He’s a football man and that’s what he will want to do – make the club better. “He’s managed in the Premier League, he’s managed in Thailand, he’s managed at the lower levels and he does have connections. “I think it is a very, very good appointment for Alan Pardew too. He’s got that breadth of experience.” http://www.thejournal.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/mick-harford-joe-kinnear-great-4714987 That was the Journal article from last week.

Guest bimpy474 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Do we know if he's ever scouted and seen, recommended players at all. I know Kinnear has, for Wenger of all people. But Harford ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Kinnear scouted for Wenger? Kinnear was probably the Premiership scout, that's why Wenger will have bought all foreign players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Thing is with scouting, that could have meant watching the opposition for an upcoming game etc. Doesn't always mean looking for players to buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Did Kinnear make his scouting for Arsenal claim and has it ever been confirmed? My guess is that it's probably only true in his head and nowhere else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Director of football with an assistant . Isn't that just a scout? Our DoF has two assistants, fwiw. http://24.media.tumblr.com/a8f51fb42a5838e3a7f77fa043d90ccf/tumblr_mm8u8d6cCl1qz8x31o1_400.gif edit: I feel like this is way more dickish than I wanted it to be. Nah. You're responding to a guy whose idea of low points was going 2 years without a trophy "right there with you toon army *taps fist to heart twice* solidarity in suffering." I really wonder what the Barca DoF does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
