Joe Kinnear talksport interview

Comedy gold.
I won't ruin it for you guys but keep a special listen out for his pronunciations of players' names (noteably Yohan Cabaye's). Skip to 8.00 for Kinnear saying the names wrong. Also when he claims to have signed Krul, even though it was 2-3 years before he was manager.
Oh, and the last bit where he claims to be able to open the door to any football manager in the world and claims he used to ring Fergie up 24/7.
He is making Newcastle the laughing stock of the footballing world.

Joe Kinnear stuns Newcastle fans by getting their players' names wrong in radio interview

Toon's proposed new director of football unable to pronounce Ben Arfa, Cabaye or Ameobi and makes string of other errors

Newcastle fans claim their club has been turned into a laughing stock after new director of football Joe Kinnear gave a cringeworthy defence of his job .

The former Toon boss gave a radio interview a day after he announced himself that he had taken the position at St James’ Park.

Kinnear took to the airwaves after the appointment was greeted with widespread criticism from the Magpies' fans.

But instead of clarifying his position, he launched into a gaffe-strewn rant against the fans and media, while repeatedly getting the names wrong of players and management wrong – including pronouncing Yohan Cabaye as ‘Cabab’.

He also claimed to have signed a player who had already been at the club for several years when he arrived.

He referred to managing director Derek Lambias as ‘Lambezee’, Yohan Cabaye as ‘Cababs’, Shola Ameobi as 'Amanobi', Jonas Gutierrez as 'Gaultierez' and Hatem Ben Arfa as both ‘Ben Afrie’ and 'Ben Afra'.

When asked about supporter unrest, he said on talkSPORT: “Look at my record. These people ask what have I done. Where have these people been - on another planet? I’ve played in five Cup Finals and won the lot. I played more than 400 games for Tottenham Hotspur.

“Already they’re jumping on the bandwagon and saying, ‘look out, Pards’. But I expect it, it’s water off a duck’s a**e.”

Kinnear, who actually made 258 appearances for Spurs, said he will meet manager Alan Pardew on Tuesday as both men attempt to establish some boundaries.

The 66-year-old, who managed the Geordies in the 2008-09 season - which ended in them being relegated from the Premier League - claimed to have brought keeper Tim Krul, who made his Magpies debut in 2006, to the club.

He also claimed to have paid £50,000 for striker Dean Holdworth when Wimbledon manager (actual figure: £720,000) and to have been Manager of the Year three times (he was LMA Manager of the Year in 1994).

Reliving his infamous rant at reporters in October 2008, Kinnear also claimed his Newcastle side had beaten Spurs that night, 2-1.

However, the incident happened on a Thursday, and the Magpies had not played since the previous Saturday - when they LOST 2-1 to Blackburn.

Newcastle fans immediately took to talkSPORT and social media to express their embarrassment and anger:

@huwsilk The most awful, cringeworthy interview for an #nufc fan to listen to.

@carljpurvis Well that is one of the most outrageous, embarrassing things I’ve listened to in a long time. #Kinnear.

@1jonkershaw That Joe #Kinnear interview is absolutely priceless. #nufc will be unstoppable next season with Kebab and Ben Afri in midfield.

@niallbache He doesn’t even know the names of the players in his own team, but he is the director of football deciding on transfers?

Seriously? he sounds as pissed as a fart to me?

Thank god I'm not a Geordie that is about as embarrassing as it gets

 

[DuDe]

Does 'someone' want Pardew to leave, I wonder?

Still fucking golden.

Thank god Joe Kinnear will never be associated with NUFC again. I just can't believe a person who conducts and presents him self in that manner was a manager of my club. Newcastle really was a joke back then, thankfully our club is run professionally now.

Just listened to the amazing interview that you're all tweeting about from last night....#canspeakopenlyonapril1sorryjuly1


Not the Canadian Prime Minister, btw. I guess his contract is up on 1 July but is still technically an employee of the club.

Will definitely be interesting to get the inside track on this. At the moment it's all looking a bit shambolic...in a funny way though.

Why would you let him talk to the press?!

 

[tototoner]

that is quality

 

[Kendall]

There's a joke in here somewhere.

Yohan Kebab's wife is very upset about the mispronunciation of his name. Poor Donna has been crying all night.

Ben Afro ......Johan kebab.......you couldn't make it up.

 

[Real_madyidd]

If you listen to the interview, apart from mis-pronouncing names he is correct. the fans listen too much to the press, they all love shearer, and he has a decent track record.

"Last season we were 15th or 16th from the bottom"

 

[MyNameIsNicolaBerti]

Having listened to both of those, he sounds drunk in both. Is he a boozer?

 

[Hoopspur]

Anything to deflect the press off us for a while must be good.

If he's good at his job (if), then it really should not matter though. The one problem is being let free on a radio station especially like talkshite that will really milk this. I think this represents all that is wrong with this station and the media like this. Harry was the same - a victim of his own mouth, but also the media.

These guys are meant to be football experts and not spokespersons, and maybe sometimes they also forget their place.
