There appears to be a mixed response to the appointment of Joe Kinnear by the players. The negativity from fans has spread to comments by players on Twitter, with Sammy Ameobi commenting on Joe Kinnear’s failure to get he and brother Shola’s name right in last night’s radio interview with Talksport. Whilst Steven Taylor has said that he is excited by former manager Kinnear’s return.
Sammy tweeted last night;
“Wow at least get my name right.”
Kinnear called the Ameobi brothers Amamobi but least he didn’t called him Kebab, which is how he pronounced Yohan Cabaye’s surname.
Whilst Taylor said in an interview with Sky Sports News yesterday;
"I am really happy to see Joe back at the club and I think his return can only be positive for everyone connected to the club. Joe was great for me when he was manager and I really enjoyed playing for him.
We were in a great position under Joe in the league until he got ill and it was after that that things went wrong.
Joe wears his heart on his sleeve and he tells it as it is and I think he is someone that Newcastle exactly need.
Joe has lots of experience and he is very knowledgeable and I for one am really excited to see him back at Newcastle."
