Just when you think Ashley has learned his lesson, he proves he's an even bigger dickhead than you ever imagined.

It seems incredible that someone who obviously has a degree of intelligence - having succeeded in business and become a multi millionaire - can make error after error in the public glare, as is Ashley's habit. The fallout from this appointment will be never ending - which is a good thing for us, as it should serve to keep Moyes and Mourinho out of our faces for much of the time.

I feel sorry for the Geordies - there but for the grace of Allah!! If we get off to a flyer against them in the first match, their pain will be even more intense.

Geordies reaction to the appointment of Kinnear........classic

Transfer News: Douglas won't be moving to Newcastle United

Sky Sports understands that Newcastle United have pulled out of a deal to sign Dutch defender Douglas.

The Brazilian-born stopper has long been on Newcastle's radar, and a move was close to being finalised, with a deal due to be concluded this week.

Douglas is available on a free transfer after leaving FC Twente, and an agreement with Newcastle was on the cards.

However, the 25-year-old will now not be moving to St James' Park and Sky Sports understands that the decision was made by new director of football Joe Kinnear.

Kinnear has wasted little time in stamping his authority on the transfer policy at Newcastle, as Douglas's representatives - who were due to fly to England on Thursday - have been informed the club will no longer be pursuing the deal.

It is understood Kinnear has already identified other defensive targets for the club to move for this summer.

This should make the Newcastle fans happy.

Newcastle scouted Douglas for two years and Kinnear pulls the plug after a few days. Kinnear reportedly said he'd never heard of Douglas and therefore didn't want him.

After Shearer came out and crticised the clubs hierarchy yesterday they announced the decision to rename 'Shearers Bar'. So far reports that the new name will be Drink'inere are unconfirmed.

Joe Kinnear thought he had spotted a special talent on a scouting trip to Birmingham – only to be told he was ­already a NEWCASTLE player, writes Alan Oliver in the Sunday People.

Toon director of football Kinnear raved to City chiefs about midfielder Shane Ferguson during the club’s Capital One Cup tie against Swansea in September. But when he asked about signing him, Brum bosses thought he was winding them up – because Ferguson is on loan at St Andrews from Newcastle until the end of the season.

Newcastle chiefs and manager Alan Pardew, who saw his side beat Chelsea 2-0 yesterday, were said not to be aware of Kinnear’s blunder.

A City source told Sunday People Sport: “Ferguson had a particularly good game that night and Joe Kinnear told one of our officials he was interested in signing him.

“At first our guy thought he was joking but then he realised Kinnear did not know Ferguson was already a Newcastle player.”

The 22-year-old, who can play in midfield or at full-back, signed a five-year contract with Newcastle in 2011 but spent three months on loan at Birmingham last season.
