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.

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.

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.

"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!"

To be fair, his wiki does say

 

"Wimbledon

LMA Manager of the Year

1994

1995

1997"

 

So he's probably just going off that.

 

Either his wiki is wrong or the LMA wiki is wrong. 

 

1994 Joe Kinnear Republic of Ireland Wimbledon

1995 Frank Clark England Nottingham Forest

1997 Danny Wilson Northern Ireland Barnsley

He probably edited it himself, and pointed to it to convince Ashley of his suitability for the role.. :lol:

 

 

 

 

:suicide:

 

Edit: damn you Ishmael

This whole thing is surreal. Remember when he claimed to have been offered a long contract or summit?

 

I genuinely think there is something wrong with him.

Devious fucker probably edited his own wiki :lol:

 

It's highly unlikely that he knows how to switch on his PC, never mind edit Wikipedia.

 

I'll be surprised if he knows how to use a mobile phone properly, never mind a PC.

Say it ain't so, Joe

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.
