Kinnear eyes return against Stoke
"Newcastle manager Joe Kinnear hopes to make his return to the dugout after heart surgery at Stoke on 11 April.
Kinnear, 62, was taken ill before the 3-2 win over West Brom on 7 February, underwent surgery on 13 February and was told he must rest for eight weeks. United managing director Derek Llambias said: "Joe has targeted Stoke for his return and I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to come back before that. "We have to reign him in a bit, though. We have to sensible and so does he." Kinnear was discharged from hospital on 21 February a little more than a week after undergoing triple bypass surgery. However, Llambias revealed Kinnear has already been in touch with his coaches by telephone. "I have had to tell him he is meant to be resting," said Llambias. "It's the way Joe is. He has to learn that for two or three weeks he has to calm down and take it easy." Coaches Chris Hughton and Colin Calderwood will remain in charge until Kinnear is fit to return to the helm. Llambias added: "Chris has done a good job, Colin is in there helping us and Joe is still in the background. "We are happy with that situation and that will take us through until the end of the season." Hughton and Calderwood took charge for the 3-2 win at West Brom, which was followed on Sunday by a hard-fought 0-0 draw with Everton. Llambias told the Evening Chronicle: "Chris is a thorough football man and a highly respected coach. The players are full of respect for him and Colin." Newcastle slipped to 15th place in the Premier League table as a result of Tottenham's 2-1 win at Hull on Monday. Meanwhile, the Magpies have revealed that they are reducing season ticket prices by an average of 9% for next season. That will take prices for the majority of season tickets to those paid for the 2007/8 season. Llambias said: "At a time when money is tight for supporters, clubs have to recognise the sacrifices people make to continue following their team." " BBC As much as I love Joe, it's probably time he knocked football on the head, it'll end up killing him ![]()

He seems like a decent chap so i hope someone has a word and he doesnt risk his health further. Its gotta be one of the most stressful jobs around, he must be finacially independent so he should retire.

Not sure about his wealth, probably wasn't earning that much at Wimbledon in the 90's and hasn't worked that much since...

I beg to differ. He's an obnoxious, nasty piece of work. I'm amazed that Newcastle, staggeringly unattractive as they are could do no better than this dinosaur. I doubt he would have got the time of day even at a league two club. |

Surprisingly enough, one of his closest allies in the Premier League is apparently Arsene Wenger, who hired Kinnear to scout for him. Wenger was apparently considering offering Kinnear a coaching role prior to Newcastle appointing him as a manager. The thing that Kinnear had going for him at Wimbledon was that he had a hand in the promotion of some good youngsters through their ranks. They also played to a system and, after his departure, it all went to pot. I'm not suggesting that he's a great manager but Wimbledon were in a better position with him in charge than they have been since he left. All said and done, I don't like the bloke. I think he's a bit too abrupt for my liking. I wish him no ill health though; my father had a double heart bypass and if Kinnear thinks he can return to his job against Stoke then he's putting his life in serious danger. It's not something you can recover from in a month. |

He may use colourful language and he may be confrontational but I think he's an fairly amiable chap. I also think he's a great motivator and a brilliant manager (just look at his track record at Wimbledon), and if it hadn't been for his health issues at Wimbledon he would have carried on managing at the highest level. I'm not a big fan of Ashey's and I think his tenure at Newcastle has been an absolute joke, but he did go up in my esteem when he took Joe on.

Bet you JFK doesn't go back. From what I can gather they're easing him out and easing Colin Calderwood in.
They have become an absolute joke of a club and to be honest it's no more than some of the arseholes who support them deserve. If you have a reasonably large transfer budget and some valuable players and Terry Venables won't touch you then you know you're in trouble.
