Would A Year Of Mid-Table Obscurity Do Newcastle Good?


Just what can we expect from Newcastle United this season?







Just what can we expect from Newcastle United this season?
Somewhere, somehow, it all went drastically wrong for Newcastle United last season. Things didn't improve over the summer with the controversial appointment of Joe Kinnear as the new director of football as well as the unnecessary drama that was caused by Papiss Cisse not wanting to wear Wonga but deciding to in the end anyway.
Joe Kinnear's now infamous interview on TalkSport was truly a moment of comedic brilliance from the newly appointed director of football at Newcastle United but it is also symptomatic of the crazy bubble that football lives in.
Mike Ashley has moved on to page five of his how not to run a football club manual and appointed Joe Kinnear as the director of football at Newcastle.
I am probably not the only person who was taken completely by surprise with the announcement that Joe Kinnear was to be given the position of 'Director of Football' at Newcastle United.
