Exclusive! Joe Kinnear Makes First Signings; Hat On Ben Afra, Shola Amamobe & Yohan Kebabs And Goodbye To Derek Lembeze?

The only real shame was that it wasn’t Alan Partridge interviewing Joe Kinnear.

Honestly, I had tears running down my face listening to JFK interviewed on Talksport. Anybody who was still labouring under the impression that this crazy move is worth giving a try, MUST listen to what he had to say.

Don’t Sell Kebabs, Yohan Kebabs…

Joe reckons that amongst the ‘Magnificent Players’ at the club are Haton On Ben Afra and Yohan Kebabs, plus players are still there from his previous time at Newcastle, such as Shola Amamobe.

Comedy gold dust.

Confusion also reigned over what exactly is happening with Derek ‘Lembeze’. JFK reckons that Mike Ashley only approached him after Derek Lembeze resigned ten days earlier!

I still haven’t a clue what he meant, has Lembeze/Llambias bailed out or has he just got a different role? I think it is a different role away from the team affairs but maybe things have moved on (unlike JFK!) and Dekka Lembeze has actually gone altogether. Obviously the club are never going to tell us such titbits, a bit like who we will play pre-season and what exactly  is happening with this bloke wandering around giving mad interviews despite no official appointment by NUFC.

JFK again claimed to have been manager of the year three times but he hasn’t, it was once in 1993/94 with Wimbledon. While I’ve seen on Twitter Wimbledon fans saying half the players he claimed to have got on free transfers and sold for fortunes were actually brought to WImbledon by other people!

Apparently Kinnear also signed James Perch, who actually arrived in 2010 a year after Kinnear left, while JFK did well to ‘find’ and sign Tim Krul, seen as he’d already been at Newcastle United for over three years before JFK ever walked through the doors of St.James’ Park!

The interviewer asked Joe Kinnear at the end if he had a personal message to the Newcastle fans and JFK said;

“To all the fans who don’t like this decision, should I bring Lembeze back in?”

To be quite honest, I haven’t got a f***ing clue Joe.
