Bizarre appointment. Apart from 6 months managing Newcastle back in 08-09 he's not been in football since leaving Forest 9 years ago. Surely there's people who've been in the game a lot more recently than him who would be better suited.
It was our friend Dennis Wise in the same role who provoked Keegan to quit in frustration. It seems that Directors of Football often cause more trouble than they're worth.
Isn't that grounds to claim summary dismissal ? Obviously depends on the terms of Pards contract but sounds similar to Curbs claim against West Ham (albeit that was transfers in the opposite direction).
The situation with Curbs at WH was that players were being transferred without his permission breaking a clause in his contract saying that he had the last say on who would be sold. If Pardew has a similar clause then he could claim constructive dismissal as Curbs did.

It was never a contract of length , clever wording on newcastles behalf
This will piss the ego off hugely and he will begone by xmas
Tbh i dont think he will make the first game of the season
I dont reckon newcastle consulted him on this appointment and he will dummy out huge
Agree, can't see him making opening day of the season either.
In actual fact, this is perfect for Pardew, Newcastle are a shambles again and he can walk for 'non footballing reasons' and leave Kinnear carrying the can.
Meanwhile, Pardew can leave with his reputation relatively intact and slip away to his next big pay day.
Cue Mildew's "Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me" resignation speech about mid-November.
Presumably his successor is already being lined up.
Kinnear's appointment is a bizarre decision. Who can take the guy seriously who signed someone on a "Bosnian" and caused N'Zogbia to leave after calling him Charles Insomnia ??

He wanted to get back into the game but many Chairman' s first question was about his health. Is that fair on him?
Hope he recovers.
I think Chris Houghton is a very good coach BTW. Could do a good job for us if we didn't already have Parky.
Be happy to see him as manager in se7

I reckon Ashley is trying to provoke him into resigning.
Ha ha kinnear's comments are Stone Age and must be designed to piss big nose off. Get in
