Kinnear - Appointed Director of Football

[NJS 4378]

Can someone dig up quotes since he left slagging off the fans?

Not with British managers it doesn't. To be fair with someone as weak willed and compliant as Pardew they have a chance. Then you look at who they have actually appointed Its a thing from the continent, for continentals iyam.

 

Why would it work with foreign managers and not British managers?

[PaddockLad 17246]

Style of football This is the man who gave that player renowned for his elegance and verve Mick Harford the last top division games of his career. He paid 7 million for John Hartson in the mid nineties ffs. Style. He couldn't spell the fuckin word.

And we were dreaming about Benetiz a few weeks back.....

 

Arent there any more rich Russians/Arabs wanting to have some fun? Nothing could be worse than this.

[CleeToonFan 1]

First time I've said 'I could do a better job' about something football related and ACTUALLY meant it.

[PaddockLad 17246]

Why would it work with foreign managers and not British managers?

Because foreign managers at foreign clubs tend to report to directors of football. Its been tried in this country with err "mixed" results...

[aimaad22 4156]

The man cant string two sentences together ffs! He's supposed to be 'directing' our football?

 

What an absolute farce! One little positive thing we've had over the last couple of seasons is the prospect of Carr giving us a couple of names to be excited about. Fuck that now. Fully expect the likes of Sidwell and Bent to be coming in.

 

FUCK OFF ASHLEY YOU TWAT!

[PaddockLad 17246]

It's not that we now have a "Director of Football". Essentially all that role is going to be doing overseeing the football side of things and taking that responsibility away from Llambias. That's probably a good thing, considering Llambias knows nothing about football. The problem is giving the job to Joe Kinnear. He's a fucking idiot and if he has top say over transfer targets, where does that leave Graham Carr? If we were going to make anyone "director of football" it should've been Carr. He's the genius behind all of our transfers over the last few seasons...We should be giving him more responsibility, not stopping him from doing the thing he's best at. Before Graham Carr would've gone to Llambias with his thoughts, now he has to go through a retard that thinks he knows everything...

Has Carr been overstepping his role anyway?....is this an attempt to "reign him in".... to stop him from being pretty good at his job?

That isn't a reason why it would work with one and not the other. It's just a difference in culture...

 

Over here it's seen as "undermining to the manager", but really it's just the most logical way to do things.

Hopefully this means we'll be getting Insomnia back.

[Monkeys Fist 42407]

Looking forward to the announcement of our new goalkeeping coach, Will-I-Am.

 

 

 

 

The fucking cunts

[Gemmill 44848]

stop giving these cockends your money.

 

Is the right answer. This is even further out of leftfield than his appointment as manager was. Genuinely jawdropping stuff.

You know, whenever Ashely's gone on and done stuff like this, I like to think of him as this fat red horned bastard with a trident in his hand and a mackem shirt on. Then I always go on to think surely he must be incensed about the job Carr is doing. Next thing we know he'll do something about it.

 

Cant believe its actually happened

I agree, and refer you to my previous answer. Pardew would put up with it. But they appointed Kinnear As you say, Carr has been doing this role "de facto" for two or three years.

[NJS 4378]

Having just listened to him on SSN I'm going to be honest and say roll on the next attack.

 

 

[Gemmill 44848]

There is literally NOBODY outside of Ashley, Llambias and Kinnear himself that thinks this is a good idea. Nobody on the entire planet. It's fucking hilarious.

[Monroe Transfer 0]

Someone on another forum I go on reckons appointing a dinosaur like him "could work" because it supposedly worked when Spurs did something similar with Pleat.

[Sonatine 11374]

I kind of hope they are just taking the piss here, because the alternative is they genuinely think this is a sound idea

[trophyshy 7083]

I doubt even Kinnear truly believes it's a good idea, but he's not quite so stupid as to turn it down.

"What we have up there is you can’t walk out in Newcastle without seeing somebody with a Newcastle shirt. It’s like about 200,000 penguins walking around the city, even the women! They go to work with black and white shirts on.”

Our new Director of Football

[Sonatine 11374]

And when asked what his thoughts were about making a return to Tyneside.

He said: "I am looking forward to it.

"I was at the club a few years ago and I knew it inside out.

"Kinnear was also asked whether he was concerned that his appointment may not be popular with fans.

He said: "Geordies are Geordies.

"They want local people in charge at the club.

"But when you look around now there are managers that are from all over the world.

"When I first went they didn't accept me because I wasn't a Geordie.

"But I got over it.

"Maybe my reaction was over the top.

"It is all water under the bridge."

 

People didn't want you because you were shit, you haggard old cunt.

[Bizza 105]

Which clueless fucktard thought this was a good idea? why do we even need a DoF let alone Joe fuckin Kinnear? Absolute joke.

[aimaad22 4156]

 

Its just so wrong when its June and you are already dreading the new season.

 

Wonder what the players are thinking, must be so reassuring to have all these wonderful proven successful footballing people around.

[trophyshy 7083]

Here's an idea, how about a RECRUITMENT process for these important roles?

 

No, fuck that, just sorted out at 4 am in some fucking casino.

 

STOP GIVING MIKE ASHLEY YOUR FUCKING MONEY.
