It's the return of the Spot When Joe Kinnear Says Something Factually Accurate Game!:
"Every top club in the land has got [a director of football]" - nope.
"I've been a manager for 35 years" - not here, either.
"I've won every award there is in football as a player" - no.
"My experience as a manager for all those years - 10 years at Wimbledon ..." - ooh, close. Actually seven.
"... two years at Nottingham Forest ..." - tch. More like 10 months.
" ... almost two years at Newcastle" - bah! Just over six months.
"I think all those qualities put me head and shoulders above every other director of football" - nope, no winners. Be sure to join us for the next round whenever he next opens his mouth.
Me anarl, we should dedicate this page to listing his 'pearls of wisdom' and adding to them over the season. They're all priceless and should be documented for posterity.
The bloke has to be mentally ill
When you start a new job you always get a bit of leeway as you settle in, but there comes a point quite quickly where you're expected to start doing what you've been hired for or you get found out to be inadequate for the job.
Either Ashley has inexplicably hired this buffoon to make NUFC a laughing stock, or he has to pull the reins in sharpish and tell JFK to button it and stop ruining what's left of the club's reputation.
The press will pick up on these exaggerations, and some of them will probably have a score to settle with him after his first day outburst last time. NUFC are going to get pilloried at some point and whilst this will be hilarious for us, Ashley has to stop this happening fast, his finances depend on it.
Pardew may well see this idiot off very quickly and be all the stronger because of it. So it's win-win for us lol
"I’m probably the only football manager to be a director of football.
“I don’t know any other ex-managers who have. I’ve been a manager for 35 years. I’ve been Manager of the Year. I’ve won every award there is in football as a player.
"I also won the league 7 times on Kevin Toms football manager on my speccy back in the 80's.

Yous lot want to mind yourselves taking the piss...this guys knows all the top managers in world football and speaks to them on the phone every day. He'll be on the blower telling his mates not to sell us any players.
I bet Fergie, Dalglish and George Graham have already blacklisted us!
For once I think the Mags have put it better than us ........ from Toontastic,
"His complete lack of experience in the role.
His inability to communicate, his shortcomings when acting in a professional manner, his limited capacity to think before speaking, his proven track record of lying.
The fact he has not been involved in the game for 9 years now, outside of his short stint managing us.
The fact he's never unearthed a player that's shown more ability than a cart horse.
His stupidity, his aggression, his age, his health.......the combination of all those things mean he will not do well in the role."
