Wise Turns The Screw One Last Time - Kinnear Is Boss!

Last updated : 26 September 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor

This afternoon we hear - "Newcastle have named former Wimbledon and Luton Town manager Joe Kinnear as their interim boss until the end of October".

The shock appointment will GUT Tyneside, as once again Dennis Wise sends us down us down 'Shit Creek'!

The Magpies have slumped to three defeats under Chris Hughton, and the caretaker looked as though he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown after the Carling Cup horror show on Wednesday.

Kinnear has been out of work since resigning as Nottingham Forest boss in 2004.

Joe Kinnear: "I am very excited.

"Results have not been great of late, but there is a lot of quality in the squad and I am very confident the players are capable of climbing the league table.

"Newcastle United is a great club. When I was in charge of Wimbledon I always remember the passion of the fans up there and how great a stadium St James' Park is.

"It is a big challenge but one I am really looking forward to."
