Newcastle are pure comedy gold.

 

They make us look like a professional operation.

 

Rubbish chairman.

Rubbish team.

Fans that are up themsleves.

And now a has-been-no hoper in charge.

 

I can't help but laugh....

[Colinjb]

Utterly hillarious.

 

I have nothing against Joe Kinnear but no way is he capable of turning that snake pit around.

JP a "has been"?

According to SSN 17 managers were approached to take over,including Mancini,all declined.

 

Kinnear is only the gaffer until the end of October anyway.

This is what I love about football! No matter how depressed I get about the situation at SMS there is always another club ready to pick up the comedy baton and pass it on like a relay race! First Poopey's 10 goals conceded in 2 games and now this!

If his dodgy heart lasts that long!!

[Master Bates]

Joe Kinnear :lol: :lol:

[trousers]

[Dicko]

Don't tempt fate by laughing people.

 

An experienced manager within English football, desperate for an opportunity.

Achieved amazing things at an unfashionable club on a shoestring budget.

Brought a host of talented youngsters through including Reo Coker and our friend Euell.

Does that sound like the sort of manager Rupes would be keen on if he does well at Newcastle?

 

I think yes

[Saint_clark]

Am I the only person who doesn't have a clue who Kinnear is?

Looks like it!

 

He played for Spurs in the 60's went on to manage Wimbledon(finished 6th in the Prem!) Luton and Forest, had a heart attack a few years ago, just what you need when taking on that job!!

Lmfao

[Thorpe-le-Saint]

LOL I actually thought he died! No joke, I actually thought that man had had a heart attack and died.

 

Newcastle fans, your club is OFFICIALLY more of a laughing stock than ours.

[Crouchie's Lawyer]

To be fair, although a sheet appointment, as it states above, so many people declined to take the job. This is because it ruins your managerial career. They should be glad they have a recognised name!

[warsash saint]

I have distant memories of Roy Kinnear coming onto the pitch at half time at the Dell during the Kevin Keegan era... anybody else remember that ??

 

[St Landrew]

I remember back in the 70's, England appointed a temporary manager in ex-Man City legend Joe Mercer, after Alf Ramsey had lost form with England. Under Mercer, England proceeded to start playing attractive football and winning games again, while the FA decided who to appoint as a successor to Ramsey. They eventually did, and England lost form again. At no time did anyone say... hey, let's keep Joe on.

 

Now I doubt if Kinnear is going to light any fires, but it wouldn't be for the first time, if he did.

He'll certainly give the players a kick up the backside and stop them feeling sorry for themselves. How the foreign players will take to him I don't know, only time will tell.
