Kinnear reveals Newcastle 'D-Day'
Newcastle United Manager Joe Kinnear said the future of the club will be allowed after their trip to play Chelsea, Nov. 22.
Owner Mike Ashley Magpie put on sale in September, but despite the reported interest, there has been no firm bids for the St James' Park Side.
Kinnear said: "I know that after the Chelsea match, it is the D-Day. After that, it will all be revealed.
"Either the club will be sold or they changed their minds."
Until his side travel to Stamford Bridge, Kinnear's own future remains in the air.
It was at St James' Park on a rolling monthly contract since Sept. 26 but has a new owner could signal the end of his reign.
And the former Wimbledon and Nottingham Forest boss admits he has no idea who the buyers are from Newcastle, or whether the club will eventually be sold.
"I always said I honor what I do," said Kinnear.
"In the short term, I will do my best, but it could be sold under my feet. We had Russians and South Africans, but nobody has stepped up. But your proposal is as good as mine.
Kinnear wants to end the uncertainty Newcastle
"Myself, Mike Ashley, (Executive Director, football) and Dennis Wise (CEO) Derek Llambias all sit down and talk."
Kinnear, however, also wants to know if I'll have money to spend in the January transfer window if the current regime can keep control of the club.
The 61-year-old: "I asked if there is a" game plan "if the club is not sold. Obviously, if I stay I would finance. "
And he feels the future of the club must be resolved as soon as possible.
"We need well-the-air talks," said Kinnear. "It would be a good thing for us all. Myself, players, fans and all associated with the club."
