Ashley Finds A Buyer!
Last updated : 08 December 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor
The TV people seem to have a camera pointed at Ashley's seat, and constantly tell us the owner is AWOL.
But expect a fresh face to occupy it soon ... because the FA are ready to throw the book at Kinnear for yet another four-letter outburst.
The Northern Echo reported this morning: "Joe Kinnear's wife is struggling for Christmas gift ideas, then she could do worse than buy her hubby a half-season ticket for St James' Park.
"Sent off in the dying minutes on Saturday, the Newcastle manager is fast becoming a regular in the stands, and with the recession hitting attendances throughout football, even the Gallowgate faithful need all the vocal support they can muster.
"Kinnear's furious reaction to a free-kick awarded in the build-up to Abdoulaye Faye's injury-time equaliser saw the Magpies' boss dismissed by referee Mike Riley.
"Already facing a Football Association charge of improper conduct for branding Martin Atkinson "a Mickey Mouse referee", Kinnear again delegated post-match press duties to Chris Hughton, thereby avoiding deeper strife."
