I think if anything is going to happen worthwhile in terms of a protest, it's imperative that the local media (papers, TV and radio) are onside with it too. Surely none of them can pander to the club after this latest one?

 

Ashley needs the local press - even if it may not seem so.

Watch what you say about JFK.  His record speaks for himself as last manager to lead Newcastle to the Superbowl.

 

I remember that, the day we beat Tottenham 2-1?

 

Yeah, we held Tom Brady to 150 yards that day.  Bilicheck called Kinnear the greatest manager since Tiberius Rockefeller.

Pardew is a poor, poor manager at this level, but unfortunately as the last few days has shown, he's probably the best we're going to get under Ashley. Seems like all the papers are running with Pardew not being happy and wanting Kinnear to shut the fuck up. Can't be a coincidence.

 

Steven Taylor can fuck off though. It's usually a race between him and Beardsley to get their nose lodged into Ashley's fat stinkin ring piece first.

Pardew will be gutted that Kinnear is geting all of the air time and he's getting nowt.

Going off those reports it's not that much for Pardew to ask really - just shut the fuck up and say as much as every other director of football in this country. Highly doubtful JFK will be able to manage that though.

 

And here's the big problem. JFK is such a mouthpiece, the hacks will hound him for quotes all day long, the first whiff of blood, even back-to-back defeats and they'll all over him like a rash.

Is he likely to take the high ground?

 

Answers on a postcard please

Alan Pardew 'relaxed' over the arrival of Joe Kinnear

by Mark Douglas, The JournalJun 18 2013Comments (32)

 

ALAN Pardew is planning for the future as Newcastle United manager ahead of a meeting with the Magpies' new direct of football Joe Kinnear this week.

 

Pardew again avoided making any public statements yesterday despite repeated attempts to contact him, adding to an air of uncertainty around St James’ Park, but he was understood to be in contact with senior figures at the club to discuss United business.

 

There has been mounting speculation about his own position at the club and what Kinnear’s appointment means, but Pardew has given no indication of any unhappiness.

 

Kinnear even went as far as to claim Pardew is “delighted” by the new arrival.

 

Although the lack of public statement adds an air of intrigue to the picture, he was said to be relatively “relaxed” about the Kinnear appointment.

 

However, when he does speak again he will emphasise the fact he continues to control the day-to-day running of team affairs – something the new director of football will be reminded of, too.

 

Kinnear’s first interviews in his new

 

 

role have seen him claim wide-ranging influence over everything from transfers to the team’s playing style, but The Journal understands his position will be slightly more prosaic.

 

Having not been active at a Premier League football club since 2009 he will not take on any scouting duties, which will continue to be conducted by Graham Carr.

 

There will be no interference with the first team either, which continues to be Pardew’s domain.

 

Lee Charnley, the club’s secretary, continues to oversee contracts and other day-to-day business.

 

Instead, Kinnear will sit in on and contribute to meetings on team and transfer affairs and be the man designated with the task of approaching Ashley on behalf of the club’s football staff.

 

Kinnear hinted at this when he said Derek Llambias’ role would be changed to concentrate on “the finances” of the business.

 

Kinnear was chosen because Ashley wanted to add “experience” and “football knowledge” to his management team.

 

Ashley has never made any secret about his admiration for Kinnear, who he firmly believes would have kept Newcastle in the Premier League but for his illness.

 

The new director of football is slated to meet Pardew towards the end of the week, although confirmation of the announcement was delayed yesterday.

 

Llambias and Charnley are both away, which may have added to the tardiness. A statement is expected to be forthcoming today.

 

Kinnear has been less conservative, continuing to speak on-the-record about his new role.

 

As well as offering assurances Newcastle will not sell Yohan Cabaye, he has publicly reassured Pardew he will not step on his toes.

 

He said: “Before I had a meeting with Mike, Derek said he had informed Alan and Alan said: ‘Great news – I’m delighted with that. At last I have somebody who’s a football guy.

 

“Derek told me he’s had a long talk with Alan and explained I’m coming in as director of football. He (Llambias) is going to go on the finance side and anything to do with football is coming my side.

 

“I am delighted to be working with Alan. We are very open-minded and good with each other.

 

"I have the utmost respect for him and I cannot see any problems between the two of us.

 

“I am not the type of guy who causes problems for the sake of it. I want the best for all of us.”

 

United made another French signing on Sunday, securing the signature of 17-year-old Metz striker OIivier Kemen. The France under-19 international tweeted a picture of himself on the pitch alongside Peter Beardsley.
