At this point I suspect that Ashley did indeed intend to bring Kinnear in on some honorary "jobs for the boys" capacity, but everyone's been taken aback by how he's unilaterally gone to the press and vastly overstated his authority.

 

They're now delaying confirmation while trying to figure out the least embarrassing way out of this mess.

 

Total shambles really.

Embarrasing as his pressbites can be, thanks to JK's football philosophy it's a nice deadlock breaker to have in Pardew's corner, in the event of any stalemates & debate at the decision table over transfer targets (particularly between Carr & Pardew) - technically gifted player X (from France or Holland, Carr's hunting ground/where his contacts are) vs physical, locally based header & tackler preferably with obvious English football experience (more suited to Pardew & more in line with Kinnear's thinking). 

 

Increased chance, at last, that Pardew will be able to build a side in his image and more suited to his palette, and probably tightens up the current disconnect which exists in our player recruiting.

 

From a football purist's viewpoint JK's appointment grinds at my bones, and aside from that it has the jobs-for-the-boys scent about it.

 

However if FCB & Lambiarse steadfastly believe that Pardew is their MAN, long-term, why not include somebody, in the football front-office with a somewhat & basic shared philosophy toward football, long-ball footy (minus Pardew's reliance on doing homework in the filmroom - focusing opponent's attacking strengths, obsessing over stats etc)?

Don't think that is particularly the case, and a bit of conjecture. He was linked to a fair few foreign imports when he was here. None of them came off though. He signed a few foreigners a Wimbledon, but this was at a time when the majority of British teams had a majority of British players playing for them. In between the madness he said, I am certain we will pick the best players available at the best price regardless of where they come from.

 

  Wouldn't say Kinnear was a long ball merchant either, but you are probably right with the style of player he might look for, he likes a more direct smash and grab style or traditional using wingers. Wouldn't say Premier league or local makes a difference.

 

Absolute f***ing disaster he is back at the club though. Other teams will be absolutely dreading receiving a phone call. Sure it won't take long for certain teams to refuse to deal with us, due to Kinnear offending them.

The man is a international joke (like us)- representing our club! He is already in deep deep water - lying numerous times already (not sure its on purpose, coz that would simply be to weird).

 

 

How come have the club not come out and supported him...how can ashley not see this is damaging his brand?

 

Im laughing coz i can´t get surprised or sad anymore. Every year we (or the owners) manage to imbarrasse us. Luckily we have so many bizarre moments/stories that our "enemies" doesn´t seem to take notice anymore....is that good?

Aye, he (at Wimb) never coached a panic-driven, or just lump-it brand of 'hoofball' (without the tall-timber to back it upfront). Like Pulis he forced his ethos on teams, with players suited for the job - physically & mentally.

 

On the same token he didn't place a premium on the wingers getting behind defenses/to the bylines either, particularly a utilising team movement - espec sweeping shifts-of-play (fully recognising the passing range & vision of a genuine playmaker, where a playmaking CM ability to 'spot' an overlap comes into it's own *providing said movement is there).

 

Kinnear's use of wingers and fullbacks: quick bursts out form the back & early balls into the box, where there is no need for a genuine & silky smoove passing CM (like Cabaye). This is more in line with what we do under Pardew.

Should DoFs not have to do one of these fit and proper tests like new owners do? No way would he be allowed anywhere near football.

Just listening to this now. At the start he says he's been in talks for 'about 3 weeks'.

 

Later, he's asked when the DoF role was first discussed... 'Mike rang me about 10 days ago'.

 

Blokes a proper Walter Mitty.

Most depressing thing about this is you just know next season is a washout before a ball has been kicked. At some stage there will be an implosion.

 

You try to cling to hope, just a sliver, but this news rips out your teeth and pulls your nails off - nothing left to hold on with. :(

Says he doesn't have an ego whilst telling everyone a list of everything he'd done in football.

 

Won the cup 5 times, no ego, manager of the year three times, no ego, been manager all over the world, no ego, nepal blah blah, like kebabs, no ego, I signed him, blah, no ego, blah blah.

 

He does need to be sectioned.
