Default Joe Kinnears Unbeleivable Press Conference

Quote:
Kinnear's four-letter tirade in press conference

Newcastle United's interim manager Joe Kinnear has launched an astonishing expletive-laden attack on his critics over the press coverage of his arrival on Tyneside.

Kinnear, the surprise choice to fill the void left by Kevin Keegan's departure, swore more than 50 times during his first official press conference as manager of the Magpies and bombarded a number of journalists with a verbal tirade.

• To read an edited transcript of Kinnear's x-rated rant click here. WARNING: Contains expletives.

The 61-year-old, who was last involved in football management at Nottingham Forest four years ago, claimed the media had already attempted to undermine his influence at Newcastle and that his first press conference would also be the last for many of the journalists there.

The former Wimbledon and Luton Town boss came out fighting with an onslaught against those who he believed have ridiculed him, insisting they would not be welcome at further meetings and that in future he would only talk to two local papers that he would hand pick.

Although his press conference was littered with four-letter words Kinnear insisted that the pressure of the job had not got to him and that he was simply defending himself.

Edited, Kinnear said: "I will stand up and fight for myself in any corner. You're not going to frighten me in any manner.

"Whatever you do, or whatever headlines you run, you're not going to embarrass me.

"I'm not going to stand for it. I've come up here for a simple chance to prove myself. Get off my back and let me get on with my job. That's all I ask.''

Heres the audio and transcript for this press conference:

Joe Kinnear Press Conference

Absolutely unbelievable stuff. He goes absolutely mental at these journalists because he thinks they have undermined him.

This was the last thing any Newcastle fan would have wanted...

Default Re: Joe Kinnears Unbeleivable Press Conference

I'm pretty sure the last thing any Newcastle fan wanted was him in charge.

Which would also explain his outburst.

His best bet would have been to ignore the media, which is a tough task in England, and simply get on with his job.

Because the fact of the matter is... if he doesnt' get results now, the media are going to be 100x worse to him due to this lil outburst.

Here's hoping the players dont' continue to mail it in during his tenure.

[I hope for Newcastle's fans sake, the Nigerian consortium has there bid accepted and Kevin Keegan can return to managing the club. Although the fans expectations have been unrealistic at times, they deserve a lot better than what Mr. Ashley has delivered in recent times.]
