GM Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Shearer said on MOTD he didn't know what Kinnear even did there. Thought just occurred to me: perhaps Kinnear was only ever appointed as a fall guy/scapegoat to provide cover for Mike's intention to sign fuck all players this season. But that would just be rank cynicism, wouldn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 If that was the case he would have been sacked on Saturday at the latest. Splitting hairs a bit there non? If Ashley was so pissed with him for not signing players for 2 windows then why would he have been sitting happily next to him at the Sunderland game?, why didn't he sack him then?, why didn't he sack him on Sunday? In fact JFK went after 5pm on the following Monday when it was clear people were handing back their season tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MW Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Pete Graves @PeteGravesSky 2m Suggestions that Mike Ashley had been frustrated by lack of arrivals in last 2 windows. There was a budget. #nufc you fucking what?!! If this is true it's actually more scary than the alternative in a way. Means Ashley actually thought JFK could do a job. I'd agree. And Joe's limitations when it comes to a conventional DOF role would have become apparent very early. At the time he was appointed, despite all he was saying, there was word that Joe was not nearly as powerful as he was making himself out to be. There's always the possibility that this was a genuine resignation. That he got fed up of the restrictions around him, and ended up having a row with the boss. are you joking?

Stuy_O Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Desperate attempt by Ashley to lighten the mood and stop the flood of ST cancellations. Probably true this. Don't think Ashley has any genuine plan he just makes these choices off the cuff. He'll be scratching his head wondering what his next move is.

Mick Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 If that was the case he would have been sacked on Saturday at the latest. Splitting hairs a bit there non? If Ashley was so p*ssed with him for not signing players for 2 windows then why would he have been sitting happily next to him at the Sunderland game?, why didn't he sack him then?, why didn't he sack him on Sunday? In fact JFK went after 5pm on the following Monday when it was clear people were handing back their season tickets. Are you ever right? They weren't at the game.

Belfast Mags Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 What a fucking embarrassing shambles that appointment was. Who's next, Mick Harford, Harry Bassett, Ron Atkinson ffs??? I'll be delighted to never hear or read the name Joe Kinnear again. Absolute wankstain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that would just be rank cynicism, wouldn't it? Anything's possible TBH. It's also possible that Joe failed to do a couple of deals. Ashley has definitely made decisions as bad as appointing JFK in a genuine DOF role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a self made very successful man, it was one hell of a fucking mental decision. What a prat well its not like he hasn't made mental decisions before That is very true. Mental decisions to us. For him, probably perfect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
