Rich Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Just downloaded the Times app on my iPhone out of interest to see if I could buy a copy of the Sunday Times to transcribe the article for everyone, but instead it's given me a 30 day free trial subscription to The Times and The Sunday Times. Bonus. If we were smart about it we could be covered year-round so when articles pop-up like this, people have access to them. Anyway, I'll get typing...

womblemaster Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I cant really quibble with JK here. If shearer is bithin from the sidelines, he has a right to bitch back. We all know there is no love between ashley and shearer, both him and keegan are quick to stick the knife into the ashley regime......basically 2 primadonnas who love the limelight. jfk is never gona be a classy act tho ( However I was suprised to see this: Today, Kinnear apologised to Newcastle fans for the latter remark. "I regret what I said about the supporters," he said. "I can't get anybody to say that Joe has the utmost respect for the supporters and they are the most important people at the club. "I always go to their forums and loved having the craic with them around the city when I was manager there. "There are 10 per cent I'm never going to win over, that is the point I was trying to make, but I regret what I said and if I offended any Newcastle fans I apologise." sincere??

Rich Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 NEWCASTLE UNITED'S new director of football, Joe Kinnear, has launched a stinging attack on Alan Shearer and defended his own record in football after a week in which the club were widely ridiculed over his appointment. In his first newspaper interview since getting the job, Kinnear, a former Ireland international, told the Sunday Times how the Newcastle owner Mike Ashley had turned to him and he revealed details of his meetings during the week with key Newcastle figures, including the manager Alan Pardew. He also apologised to Newcastle fans for derogatory remarks made during a radio interview last Monday, but the conciliatory tone ended when it came to Shearer. The former Newcastle number nine, who holds the club and Premier League goalscoring records said last week that "right now people are laughing at the football club I support" and added that the players were "downtrodden" when he took over briefly as manager in 2009 after Kinnear had suffered a heart attack. Kinnear has now hit back. "What Shearer says is diabolical. This is a guy who hasn't got a clue about coaching. Good in five a sides, though, so they tell me. The last game of the season he came up with the idea of playing Damien Duff at left back. Damien is one of the best left wingers in the business, but can't tackle. And we went down with an own goal from Damien. Shearer keeps slagging me off. He is being disrespectful to me, but I am entitled to fight back." Kinnear also revealed he had a meeting with Pardew at a hotel in central London on Wednesday in which they discussed their roles. "He was looking for clarification about my role, not his own, and I explained my role to him in full," Kinnear said. "I said you are on an eight-year contract and my role is to support you and give you the best help possible. I have been informed that you found it difficult last season to speak to Mike or get messages to Mike about various things. I made it clear that I am not after his job." Kinnear has also had a meeting with Graham Carr, the Newcastle chief scout, who came to his house last Monday to wish him well. "I have known Graham for about 20 years. There were rubbish stories that he was looking over his shoulder. This is the negativity I have had to face and hopefully it is behind me." With Pardew on holiday, Kinnear will meet Carr again tomorrow after he and the manager identified that the club urgently needed a striker and a centre-half. "Alan decides who the centre forward is going to be. We have three lined up. Then, when the transfer window shuts it's back down to football and nothing else but results. I'm not going to interfere, but if I see something I am not going to be shy to say it." Kinnear also apologised to Newcastle fans after saying in a radio interview last week that they were "talking out of their backsides". "It is my own fault and I regret what I said about the supporters. I have a fiery nature and sometimes I lose the plot. There are 10% I'm never going to win over, that is the point I was trying to make, but I regret what I said and if I offended any Newcastle fans I apologise." Kinnear, 66, was Newcastle manager for a five-month period in the 2008/09 season, at the end of which Newcastle were relegated. He has kept in contact with Ashley, a near neighbour in North London. Still not the full article but the bit I hadn't seen mentioned there was about us "urgently" needing a centre-half and a centre-foward, and having three targets identified for the latter position on whom Pardew has the final say.

JCONA Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Slagging of Shearer's managerial credentials.. Someone with no experience expected to turn around the most dysfunctional outfit in the league. It was absolutely ridiculous expecting shearer to get us out of that mess. Don't forget that bizarre quote from Ashley post relegation about the Shearer appointment being his best decision.. Depressing.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget that bizarre quote from Ashley post relegation about the Shearer appointment being his best decision.. Depressing.. Well said. Given such an impossible situation, I believe Mourinho or Fergie would have struggled to have managed any better. A lost cause to say the least. Just shows what an admirable job Hughton did to turn it round. Now we have Kinnear back and depression has swamped the fans, I can't see the players rising above it. Blame Kinnear ? Why ? Its ALL Ashleys fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I'm not having the "it was a lost cause" thing mind. Tough job yes, but we also had 3 very winnable home games in there which he should have been capable of winning 2. We didn't have to even hit a point a game to stay up.

toontownman Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Does have the right to have a pop back at shearer - yes Does he have a right to take a pop back at any of the many critics draggin his name through the dirt - yes But it's tit for tat. He is incapable of understanding why people are upset and more importantly taking the high road and just getting on with his job and trying to prove people wrong. He thinks he is much better than anyone is giving himself credit for, well that's fine but he should also know, having been in the game so long, how the media works and not rise to it. I am sure in the future after he leaves the club we will hear how it was a no win situation Job where any good player bought will be Carr or Pardew and bad signings will be his. Well I hope he accepts that early and doesn't turn it round and making it all about him when they are a team. Herein lies the problem with Mr. Kinnear he is incapable of grace and will always turn everything around to be about him. Why is it always the fans taking the high road while the monkeys at the club run it's name through the dirt. Words are cheap i kinnear means it he and the club needs to show it for once.

toontownman Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Kinnear also mentioned that he will interfere with training. I'm sure he will if he thinks he should, that is his job. I have absolutely no doubt that kinnear will throw everything into his Job and get alot done. My worry is the result, as like most I don't trust him or have reason to trust that his vision is close to what we would like to see or believe is needed for progress. And yes Joe if your reading we know your the paid professional and should know best. At least we know five a sides are out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think the season is going to be less stressful? You know this little bit here where we're all like, "What's Joe gonna do next?" This is the easy part of the season. You want to skip closer to the Gouffran off at 70, Shola on for HBA, 1-0 leads that we defend for an hour part of the narrative? Fuck that noise. We're gonna miss then when we're using ten to defend our 1-0 vs Stoke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 A couple of things from some of the last posts on here; accusing Shearer of not being intelligent enough to be a successful manager. Most managers are as thick as the footballers they manage, many including our current finest are incapable of getting the rudiments of their own language correct. Secondly anybody saying that well at least Pardew is still here, has forgotten the diabolical football we have played for most of the nearly three years he has been in charge. Thirdly can somebody dig up Shearers actual quotes from the Sun. He certainly said people were laughing at NUFC, I don't recall that he said JFK was a cunt.
