AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Seems so odd that this had blown up on Sky Sports, Kinnear claiming all sorts, then today nothing at all being said. I cant see the harm of releasing a statement, he's already opened his mouth on SSN, It's all sorts of weird the whole thing The longer it takes for the club to respond the more it looks like they are in a panic and wondering how to control the situation. What they get for dealing with that old deluded self important c***. The whole thing is odd though, it happened so quickly and he confirmed it, what have they got to lose by announcing it now, everyone already knows, its in all the papers. I just find it all strange, not as clear cut as it appears imo. I still think it will happen but there's certainly more to it than meets the eye imo Well its either JFK jumped the gun and nothing at all has been agreed or he has way way way overdone what he role is going to be. If he has spoken the utter truth then it would have been confirmed by now, the delay only proves non of it is okay. That's the best case scenario TBH. The worst is that he actually is DOF with actual powers over recruitment and organisation etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest taps01 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Liking him is probably a bit strong, but I don't hate him. So his constant lying and overinflated opinion of himself doesn't bother you? I cringed at every sentence he uttered in that Sky interview. Was just going to post something similar. I cant stand people who tell lies and have never really understoodway people do it as the truth always comes out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Still don't believe this has actually happened. It's got to be "jobs for the boys", surely? Not that that justifies this at all but I'm struggling to work out why on earth this would ever happen. Staggering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 His interview from yesterday is unreal. "Manager of the year three times" "Was at NUFC for two years" "Arab invasion" "They want Geordies at their club" I wish we could report him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_b Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 "I saw Alan as a player – he was a heck of a player – and we bumped into each other a couple of times when he was West Ham manager. We always bump into each other at the Manager of the Year awards. Last year I was at the awards when Alan won it. I said ‘congratulations, but you have to get two more to catch me!" http://clip2net.com/clip/m0/1371476415-clip-12kb.png Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 He got 3 manager of the month awards. How can he not remember this? Unless he got one in India. I bet it's hard to get a manager of the year award in India. Fat, senile, clueless cockney cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 To be fair, his wiki does say "Wimbledon LMA Manager of the Year 1994 1995 1997" So he's probably just going off that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 There's no way he knows how to use the internet. I was on his wiki yesterday and it only had the 1994 award down, maybe it's the club trying to rewrite every lie he says. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 http://blog.sundaysun.co.uk/2013/06/say-it-aint-so-joe.html Say it ain't so, Joe By Mark Douglas on Jun 17, 13 01:27 PM DAY one of Joe Kinnear's second coming and Newcastle United's director of football is confronted with an in-tray the size of Everest. For those of you who remember Kinnear from the first time around, that was the mountain he claimed he used to fly over with the Crown Prince of Nepal when he was managing the tiny principality. Verification was never forthcoming on that point, but I digress - Kinnear's workload is undoubtedly mountainous. Transfers, departures, assessing the playing staff - all key parts of Kinnear's new role that require immediate attention. Perhaps his first order of business should be closer to home, though. He should start with a clarification of what exactly he meant when he asserted that "Geordies are Geordies", extending the point to claim that the fans of the club are uncomfortable with anyone from outside the area working at St James' Park. It might seem like a trifling point that will be buried under the avalanche of intrigue about to descend on Barack Road but it's really not. It's a lazy, damaging and utterly false stereotype that has no place being repeated by a senior employee of the club. For the last couple of years United's most consistent message has been that they want to make tickets affordable. Derek Llambias talked of packing the stadium full of Newcastle supporters - especially younger fans and families. And they backed it up with novel ticket pricing initiatives and themed days aimed at tempting fans through the doors. You can see the tension here. Club employees have worked hard to try and reconnect, and have made some strides too. It doesn't help when club employees are deploying the tired old cliche about North East supporters placing disproportionate importance on someone's birthplace. Kinnear should know, too, that fans never mentioned his birthplace during his first stint in 2009. Any concerns were expressed when fortunes begin to slide at the turn of the year, and were always for football reasons. I doubt Kinnear meant to cause offence. He never does and he's a decent, say-it-as-I-see-it kind of guy. Working with him first time around was a whirlwind and he never really bore a grudge, despite the sweary fury. The real question is whether he is up to the job - and what the job has been created for. Kinnear has contacts: he knows people. Arsene Wenger still takes his calls, apparently. But there are serious concerns about whether a man who has only been involved in front-line professional football for five months of the last eight years. The Premier League is a competition that evolves at break-neck speed - and United were caught standing still last season. For Kinnear to walk into that environment and make a flying start is a challenge of monumental proportions. I wish him the best. There are serious questions here; and pressing concerns. All this froth about Geordies only wanting to engage with one of their own is a toxic sub-plot that needs to be put to bed quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
