Newcastle Fan Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 So fucking obvious he was brought in to absorb our anger because we are signing anyone, i'm not going to feel any better because the useless cunt resigned Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 What amazing news to start the day with Shame it's too little, too late, I just hope it's all part of the Ashley exit strategy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephant Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Well played by Ashley. He hired Kinnear to take the heat off him and now he sacked Kinnear to take the heat off him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'm glad he's gone but ultimately he's a figurehead turned sacrificial lamb by Ashley. If not for the spate of ST cancellations he would still be around. Like someone mentioned earlier, the club gets no credit with this decision as they did with SJP turned SDA turned SJP. We should be keeping up the pressure considering MA is clearly affected by fans cancelling their STs but I suspect JFK leaving will be enough to turn a significant number of heads buying into Ashley's manipulation again.

Incognito Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Fancy being put in charge of transfers and then in the seasons windows fail to make a permanent one only then to quit just after business is able to be done. It's almost like he had a set agenda. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1964 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 don't think this will affect all that much at all Me neither, part of the smokescreen to deflect attention. Would not be surprised if ths was always the intention at some point. Employ incompetent buffoons who are easy to get rid of when things get tough. Nothing changes for me, it's neither good nor bad news, it's just news. If you're terminally ill getting a haircut means fuck all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Good news in general, The optimist in me thinks that Joe’s inability to get the job done, his general personality has cost players or he has alienated himself with his woeful people skills. The pessimist in me thinks that he was here as a way to deflect negativity from Ashley and other areas of the club and that he was prepared for a tidy sum to be the fall guy. However once the crowds started to turn and the club realised he couldn’t be the scape goat they had all hoped for he was told his time was done. He was either pushed or told he can stay with next to no power or stature and the old goat walked. Similar to the management situation I have no faith in them making a correct appointment following this wouldn’t be surprised if the lack of a director at his level they use it as an excuse for slow to no movement over the summer. No doubt wont have to wait long for the idiot to come out guns blazing with a statement or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bert Shaft Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 No doubt Joe will be looking forward to reading his10,000 sympathy letters from the fans telling him what a fantastic job he has been doing and saying how much he will be missed.
