Rafalove Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Sad hope he does get the help he needs. He was with us 2013-14, is it possible he could have been suffering when he was with us? I mean that interview would certainly make sense if so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Hope he gets the help he needs, as bad as a manager or whatever he was for us, from watching the documentary about Wimbledon a few years back and reading various stuff, he was/is a good guy. Get well soon Joe! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame for him, and with all the money in football he should be getting the support he needs, especially as sport may have played a role in it. (Also everyone should get the support, regardless of money in football). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Ah shit. As much as I liked to joke about him I don't think I can anymore. My dad died as a result of Alzheimer's and I watched him fade away over a 6 year period. It's horrible to watch and could explain some of JK's actions when he was with us.

Guest HTT II Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) I hope I don’t offend anyone with this but Alzheimer’s/Dementia is as bad or as worse than cancer for those suffering with it. In my line of work so many of my customers’ relatives have died of it and we try and donate as much as we can to the various charities, it’s a horrific disease and I know it’s now a big talking point in football, but more needs to be done and looked into. Again, Kinnear, as bad as he was for us, he’s a human-being and by all accounts a decent one so again I wish him nothing but the best, but knowing this disease, it’s grim grim grim from here on in sadly.

Pilko Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Really sad news this. Obviously a passionate and well-intentioned bloke and an awful thing that you'd not wish on anyone. Hope he and his family get as much support as possible. His ludicrous DoF return to one side, I still maintain we'd have stayed up in 2009 if he had saw out the season and we didn't endure Hughton then Shearer from WBA away onwards. He was embarrassing and brash but I don't think quite as bad a manager as some we've had (Carver, McClaren, even Bruce) - I still all these years later think he'd have drawn his way to a safe finish.

I’ll give him this, he fought for us every match, he was very positive and talked us up and how big a job this was for him and how lucky he was, even returning as the DOF or whatever his title was. I recommend people watch a Wimbledon documentary made a few years ago, sorry I can’t rename it, but he came over ever so well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BennyBlanco Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Currently having a torrid time with the wife’s Nan who’s very quickly succumbing to this terrible disease. She’s moving in with us soon and I don’t mind saying I’m dreading it. Fully feel for him and his family. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
