Former Dons boss keen to take control at SJP full time

We hope you were wearing your betting shoes yesterday, as we gave you five compelling reasons for Joe Kinnear’s first victory in black and white stripes. Yet despite getting five points from four games and expressing a keen desire to remain at the club full time, Big Joe’s future in the North East is no clearer than that of Mike Ashley:

“I have got no idea who is going to buy the place, but I can throw my hat in the ring whoever buys it. I am not going to get another chance like this.”

“But I really don’t know, to be honest. I know it is obviously for sale, but who is going to buy it, I have got no idea.”

Newcastle fans have never been entirely keen on those of southern persuasion, but Joe seems to have brought a ‘no nonsense’ attitude which has given the club some much-needed stability. But has he already earned the right to take the job permanently? Let us know with a vote and comment below…
