Jimbo 133 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 JOE KINNEAR will be offered a senior 'upstairs' role at Newcastle if he turns down the club's offer of a two-year contract to remain as manager. Kinnear has yet to sign the contract extension he was offered by the club before being taken ill on the morning of Newcastle's match at West Brom in February. The 62-year-old Toon boss has since had triple-bypass heart surgery. And there are other personal issues to be considered before any decision on whether he stays in the United hotseat. Newcastle owner Mike Ashley and managing director Derek Llambias hope Kinnear will return as manager. But they are determined to keep him at St James' Park one way or another. And a senior Newcastle source said: "Joe Kinnear will have some role at the club come what may. If it's not in the manager's role, then he will be offered a position upstairs." That would put Kinnear in line to take over from Dennis Wise as the Geordies' director of football. Wise is set to leave at the end of the season, although he has stayed involved in most deals since he was appointed in January last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombadil 0 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Ashley's desperation to hold on to Kinnear simply doesn't make sense. Is he trying to save face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fop 1 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Ashley's desperation to hold on to Kinnear simply doesn't make sense. Is he trying to save face? Kinnear as a manager doesn't make much sense (and never did other than no one else would take it), but his "qualities" would seem to be on touchline/training pitch if anywhere.

Kitman 2188 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I've given up trying to understand their football decisions. Anything other than an engraved tankard and a whip-round for Kinnear at the end of the season makes no sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonGoodwyn 1 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Didn't he scout for a number of top teams for a few years, Arsenal, and maybe Barca IIRC? That could be completely wrong though. If thats the case, he'd certainly be better off doing that tha coaching, probably much better for his health as well. The players clearly don't rate him as a coach, you could tell from that Butt interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 JOSE worked with sir BOBBY at Barcelona and then won trophys..!champions league with a poor Porto side! It certainly wasn't a poor side by any means. And you were referring to Hughton's inability to teach people how to play football, basically saying he couldn't play it himself. Which is completely inaccurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butt has won champions league,fa cups,premier league etc and now is being told what to do by a pair prats...FACT How can someone with no managerial experience start managing a team the size of Newcastle united whilst there in a relagation dog fight? What input does he have? what knowledge does he have? what do the players think of him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I don't think anyone's saying Hughton should be manager of Newcastle, are they? He's been there and done it though and David Kelly might well be right when he says he good coach. Obviously out of his depth as manager though.
