Gotta agree with every point you made there, Kinnear would most likely have kept them up even if it was only just.
The whole Mr Curly coming back was just a complete waste of time(keep the fans happy..!) and lost points on the board, something Newcastle desperatly needed.
On a differant subject, who does everyone think is manager of the year?
IMO there are 3 candidates...
1- Alex ferguson. If Man U go on to win the european cup it`s hard to argue against.
2-David Moyes. Done an absolutely fantastic job at Everton with limited resources, plus bringing players in from the academy and buying others at good value. Allways seems to get the best out of his players and elevates the club to a position which amazes.
3-Roy Hodgson. Again like David Moyes, has that ability to forge a team which isn`t that great on paper and move them to a level which seems beyond the squad. Also the style of football Fulham have played this year has been a joy to watch, that giant of a defender hangaland(probably spelt wrong) and the striker nevland look top notch.
Glad Dickson Etuhu is playing well also (here`s hoping his brother gets a chance)
