My biggest worry is that JFK has talked himself into a job on the basis of his "success" (in his own mind) at unearthing gems from the lower leagues. This could translate into a raft of Leon Best and Ryan Taylor type signings, players who aren't and never will be good enough to take us up the table. Frightening from a man who seems totally out of touch with the modern game in England and abroad.

Unfortunately JFK won't have heard of any half decent premier league player and therefore won't speak to them. I wish I was joking.

A season on loan would be best for him. Cant see him being more than a sub.

Brown eye : lol:

I don't know about 8 ace but he does a convincing impression of aldridge pryor

Meh. He was no world beater. Fee seems low though.

Lon chaney?

Nothing to see here, move along move along........

I'll believe it when I see it

Your wish won't come true before closing time....

The kinnear pantomime continues. He's like a sad old drunk swinging at thin air. Instead of worrying about his pride the idiot should get on with his job

You don't resolve a dispute between 2 key employees by hiring kinnear, a man who'd start a fight in an empty room. It's a ludicrous theory.

That Simon Bird article sounds like a load of shit to me

Happy birthday from me

He's just done to us what he's done to all his other brands.....

You'd have thought if he'd asked anybody in football about JFK, the loud and continuous laughter would have given him second thoughts.

Yep get Gazza in! Makes as much sense as JFK anyway.....

Totally agree. I've tried to think of a worst possible appointment and I've only come up with Paul Merson

Might as well. He'll probably spend all his time in there anyway.

An alternative version of events is that Lambezi was always going to leave in the close season and his departure isn't linked to Kinnear's appointment. But I'd like to think that Lambezi has resigned on principle, having shown no principles at all otherwise. As JawD says, the truly baffling thing is not why recruit a DoF (which makes good sense if you don't trust the manager), it's why recruit Kinnear? A more knackered useless washed up pissed old deluded self regarding clueless horrible dinosaur would be hard to find. If someone had asked me to nominate the absolutely worst person to run a football club, it would be Kinnear. As obviously destined for disaster as the appointment of Souness as manager.

Still at least he's got his list to work through...

Jfk has been with us a matter of days and it's already a complete shambles ....

It's not been confirmed yet that he's off, has it?

I can't see what kinnear has to offer as a dof. I think he's in as a manager by proxy and it's only a matter of time before it's legitimised. Interesting to see whether Pardew tries to tough it out...ashley probably views it as a no lose situation....either pardew shapes up or he goes

Kinnear is a massive vote of no confidence by ashley.....Pardew's now a turkey with a life expectancy to match. He'll be gone by xmas imo, the only question is whether he resigns now or tries to suck it up and gets sacked. Kinnear is likely our next manager.
