New short term boss at Newcastle.
Oh dear.

hahahaha.mental.i'm going to have some dosh on them going down i think

That deserves a "lets all laugh at Newcastle" thread

I think that point was passed when it was revealed their top rescue hope is a Nigerian Consortium:

"Most Honoured Mr Ashley

We have recently come into possession of some government funds which we need to get out of the country but cannot due to civil disorder and a conspiracy against my father by secret forces. Therefore we are constantly searching for an honourable partner with which to deposit such funds and after extensive searches we believe, God willing, that your football club would be most beneficiary to our mutual wealth. Please send us the details of your football club's bank account and we will deposit said funds immediately. On completion of transaction as recognition of goodwill, you keep 10% of said funds. We look forward to your most honoured reply and all success to everyone in this legitimate business transaction

Yours

The 419 Consortium"

 :clap:

Magpies are always on the lookout for silver.....fuking spent about 60 years looking for some in Newcastle.

Joe Kinnear back in the Premiership is fucking brillaint news the man's a swollen comedy ballbag.

He ,looks like a fat lesbian but he did a bloody good job at Wimbledon. He's a better option than Dalglish or O'Leary. The position they are in though is laughable. Another one to add to the Cockney Mafia they so desperately want out.

I'm sure little Mickey Owen will be delighted to fill in the old Mick Harford role up front.

I was walking around the abyss that is generally known as Blyth when I overheard an old timer mentioned it to his lady. I think it was rubbish.

To be honest, Hughton didn't want the job, Ashley had to bring in someone to oversee the remainder of his tenure and there was no way he'd get a popular appointment... and there was no way he could bring Wise in for it.

I went to the Spurs game last Wednesday... they're in big trouble.

Actually he reminds me of Radovan Karodicz in his Bosnian-slaughtering heyday. Not sure which is the less flattering comparison tbh

Looking forward to the challenge of managing Newcastle from his cell in the Hague

This is fucking brilliant. My mate text me earlier, he is going mental

Tans

Mensa came into work this afternoon and said 'guess who Newcastle's caretaker manager is' - Roy Kinnear!. There's only one Hawtin.

Brilliant actor was Roy Kinnear...fell of a horse and died while filming i seem to recal.

Ignore him Tans, he's only Jo-Kinn ear.

Dennis Wise's old Wimbledon manager of course.

He'll be happy for the pay cheque I imagine.

No he's not... Wise had been gone a good couple of years before Kinnear was appointed.

I appear to have dropped a bollock here. Oh dear.

Is this a piss take?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7637836.stm

no.

 I think it's to Kinnear's credit, that when DoF at Scumsville..he publicly called O*frod fans a bunch of muppets, before having the prescience to jack the job in.

"I've never run from a fight in football."

I beg to differ Joe.

Bitter ?

Pint of Butcombe please!

nope. he was obviously right to run away from kassam. but he did run.

More of a waddle i would say.

From the Newcastle forum, found some of the hilarious..

http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?showtopic=21196

he looks terrible and has aged loads.taking the newcastle job aint going to do him any favours

£250k for 8 weeks of letting the team do what they like anyway says otherwise

This just gets better and better...Kinnear has a touchline ban from his time at Forest in 2004 which means he can't get out of the stands until October 20th. Awesome.

Which is around the time he's expecting to be replaced by the "new owners". If it weren't for the fact that Ashley's not got a snowball in hell's chance of finding someone to pay what he wants in 6 weeks, this would mean Kinnear's was getting paid between £250k to £600k (5 live on Friday were touting 100k a week) to go and watch Newcastle. If that's a general going rate, it should at least stop the gates falling.

I'm suprised to have not seen a Joe Kinnear, given the pun-tastic minds we have on this board.

page 1, last post.

Rats. I should've re-read the thread.

Just signed a one month extension to his contract.

Can anyone say this bloke hasn't done wonders at Newcastle?

3 nil win against pompey away from home. Just seen the highlights and they were immense. He's def earnt his contract.

he hasnt done wonders at Newcastle.

They drew 2-2 at home against Stoke last week and they were 2-0 up.

they have drew alot of games

Oh come on DV. Look at newcastle now, and where they were. Everyone was shocked/angry at the appointment.

Better than losing games.

not as good as winning tho

You fucking bumpkin!

i dunno whats u chattin matey

They were losing every week before Kinnear came along. So at least he's progressing.

still underachieving though

its not possible to achieve at newcastle though is it.

Newcastle arent exactly a million miles away from where they were.

4 points in the last two have helped which is mainly down to that ex England striker Mr. Owen.

*drawn

hence spaceys reply i think :)

Joe Kinnear has got the players putting in the effort which is all you can ask really - fair play to him he deserves his chance until the end of the season.

Although I am not an England supporter, how on earth that pile of shite Defoe gets in the team ahead of Michael Owen is a joke. Defoe needs about 7 good chances to score a goal, an over-rated load of rubbish

Agreed Dachauer-Id go as far as to say that Owen is the best performer at international level thart England have had for the past 15 years at least

Owen has been injured and is only just getting a run of games. I'd expect him to get selected now he is fit.

Defoe - Ericsson realised he wasn't good enough ans so  was left at home and 12 year old Theo Walcott was taken to the WC instead.

innit. word.

you can't fault cappello's selection policy. he only picks players who are match fit and michael owen hasn't been match fit for about four years. true, he can score goals in any condition but that's not enough at international level.

when fit, he will start for england as his movement and finishing are second to none. what a dink past james the other night and i liked the replay where you could see him mouth "what a fucking finish eh".

defoe hasn't been getting in ahead of owen, its pretty obvious that in a fair contest between the two owen wins pretty easily. he just needs to get himself fully fit and available for selection.

p.s. defoe isn't incredible but can be pretty handy in the right situation and mood.

he's reiterated his selection policy just now, re beckham and owen:

Seems BFJ needs a heart bypass op, that's him done for the season then.

I reckon thats the end for Joe...

Seems he is a manager from yesteryear...

Nowadays the players have too much say and too much to say.

Hard line managers who dont take any shit from their players just dont last.....Macari wouldnt cut it now.

Capello?

Hes the strictest and that says something doesnt it!

Hopefully JFK will be alright, but I don't think he will come back to management. Calderwood is now assistant manager to Chris Hughton

your fucked now then

Copied and pasted this from the BBC gossip bit:

Former Nottingham Forest manager Colin Calderwood is set to take charge of Newcastle in place of Joe Kinnear, who needs heart surgery. (Daily Mirror)

Or Newcastle are ready to move for ex-Middlesbrough manager Bryan Robson as a short-term replacement for Kinnear. (Daily Express)

Or Newcastle may turn to former England manager Terry Venables as an interim replacement for Kinnear. (Daily Mail)

Lets put it like this - Glad I'm not a Newcastle fan.

It's bizarre isn't it!

Will be funny to see Ashley trying to flog Newcastle in the football league.

Brings back memories of Sheppard saying that people should forget about the football league as the Premier is the future.

How did they go from an all round great man like Sir John Hall to Freddie Sheppard?
