HATCHET MAN: Giving Kinnear an back seat role at Newcastle is as ludicrous as giving Hughton a front
Newcastle are apparently thinking of giving Joe Kinnear a job 'upstairs' if he does not want to return as manager for next season.[LNB]His triple by-pass surgery after his latest serious heart problem does not mark him out as an obvious candidate for the stress-ridden position he holds.[LNB]So Mike Ashley reportedly got creative and came up with this alternative. Genius. Was he trying to make the Newcastle manager's job even less attractive than it was before?[LNB] [LNB]Is there room for me upstairs? Chris Hughton tries to get info from the the soon-to-be-elevated Joe Kinnear[LNB]The club had serious trouble filling the position before they got Kinnear and now they want to install a man with a serious temper, who was phoning in for daily updates from his hospital bed to oversee his successor.[LNB]Kinnear can no more take a backseat than Chris Hughton can make himself at home in the front. It is a nightmare waiting to happen but with Ashley calling the shots, sadly it is the sort of thing fans have come to expect.[LNB] More from Hatchet Man...
