Yes, I know this has been mentioned before but was shot down by Mags as being made up. "Newcastle chiefs and manager Alan Pardew, who saw his side beat Chelsea 2-0 yesterday, were said not to be aware of Kinnearâs blunder. A City source told Sunday People Sport: âFerguson had a particularly good game that night and Joe Kinnear told one of our officials he was interested in signing him." âAt first our guy thought he was joking but then he realised Kinnear did not know Ferguson was already a Newcastle player.â http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastle-transfer-news-joe-kinnear-2670971
Don't know if this has been done, but it beggars belief. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs...elder-already-played-newcastle-082038210.html
Has to be the peak of stupidity Tales of Joe Kinnear’s buffoonery are fast becoming legendary, but now Newcastle United’s hapless director of football has outdone himself by apparently trying to sign a player who the club already owned. The incredible news comes from the Sunday People, who detail Kinnear’s approach for midfielder Shane Ferguson after he impressed in a League Cup game for Birmingham City against Swansea City in September. The only problem was that Ferguson, 22, was only on loan at Birmingham from …. Newcastle! The Sunday People says Kinnear approached Birmingham officials to register his interest in the player, only to be politely told that in fact his club owned him anyway, and as director of football he in fact was partly responsible for Ferguson. The Sunday People quotes a Birmingham source as saying: “Ferguson had a particularly good game that night and Joe Kinnear told one of our officials he was interested in signing him. “At first our guy thought he was joking but then he realised Kinnear did not know Ferguson was already a Newcastle player.” It is not the first time Kinnear has become confused about a Newcastle employee. During his previous spell as manager of the club in 2009, Kinnear referred to Charles N’Zogbia as ‘Charles Insomnia’ – leading the French winger to say he would “never play for him again." This summer, after returning to Newcastle to howls of anguish from the club’s long-suffering supporters, Kinnear got his wires crossed once again, calling Yohan Cabaye ‘Yohan Kebab’ in a now infamous radio interview. He also referred to managing director Derek Llambias as ‘Lambezi’, Hatem Ben Arfa as ‘Ben Afra’ and Sammy Ameobi as ‘Amamobi’. The latter gaffer drew a withering response from the Newcastle striker.
This is off a big spread on BT Yahoo Sport, so would imagine there is some substance to it, just like him though.
