i think that is it really. to most people, kinnear is yesterdays man - to ashley, he really is fond of him. he's used him as an agent in the past i believe, obviously he hired him from obscurity a few years back as manager. he must just get on well with him, trust him and that's all he is thinking about. i think he's ****ing bonkers!
