RIP Joe Kinnear (1946–2024)

  After two transfer windows Why is the squad is weaker now, than when you took over After all that is all we can judge you on Joe... 

 

2 loan signings (players we'd already been linked with and had presumably been in touch with their representatives already) in 2 transfer windows suggest that the guy has simply been employed as a figurehead, a distraction, a target for hate and blame, a guy to call a cunt instead of the owner or the manager or whoever.

 

Since it seems like some people can't grasp more than one concept at once and realise there are multiple contributing factors to the failure, stagnation and misery engulfing the club, employing him was a perfect tactic and he's doing a really good job of things in that respect, in the sense that he's a diversion from the real ills of the club.  Ashley knew we hated him and he's played on it.

 

It's depressing that the owner is this low in his behavior, but that's what we're dealing with.  It's more depressing that a number of our fans fall for it tbh, I personally couldn't give a flying fuck about Kinnear - I'm annoyed he's at our club but he's not the reason we're not bringing players in or anything, he might meet the players before they sign or whatever but he's not deciding our spend or dictating our strategy or doing anything beyond what the guy with brains (Carr) says, the Douglas tale aside.

Spot on. Kinnear is the second layer of buffer after Pardew. While Pardew garbles his TV friendly nonsense to confuse the fans, Joe is the pantomime hate figure. meanwhile Ashley can stay behind the scenes at a safe distance in London carefully protecting his investment with a cautious and non-gambling strategy.

Spot on there like.

From my mate on Facebook. I've got no doubt he's telling the truth either.

 

Take this for what you want mate,

But yesterday at the game 2 older blokes came over and we got chatting etc and he said that he got his tickets for free off JFK.

JFK, is a close family friend to the guys mother, he said he was over at around Xmas time with Family and told the guys that we were sitting with he gets paid £5m over 3 years.

Also not so long ago JFK rang the guys mother to apologise he wouldn't be able to make for dinner because if AP lost another game he believed AP would be getting the chop and he would get the "gig" full time.

 

Kinnears name was printed on the tickets as well to add some credibility

Like many on here have said........... Lets just get it over with.

 

I would imagine, barring death, he will at some point be 'manager' of us.

May be a final nail for some and may act as unifying the dispirited fans into a cohesive force.

Can't imagine anything but disaster from his tenure, but lets just get it over with....

Aye, and how many games have we lost between now and "not so long ago"? Why in Christ's name would that stop him having his tea? :lol:
