JOE KINNEAR has launched a blistering f-word defence of his Newcastle reign.
The seething Toon boss blew his top just four days into the job.
He fumed: ?I haven?t come here for people to take the p**s out of me. And if I?m not flavour of the month, it don?t f***ing bother me.
"I?m ridiculed for no reason. I?m defenceless. I can?t get a point in, I can?t say nothing, I can?t do nothing. But I ain?t going to be negative.?
The Irishman, 61, raged that his first press conference at the Toon?s Benton HQ would be his last.
But the ex-Wimbledon chief then proceeded to blast ex-players who have slaughtered him before turning on stunned reporters.
In an astonishing Crazy Gang-style tirade, he added: ?I?ve a job to do. And I?m going to do it to the best of my ability and get on with it. I?m not going to spend any more time listening to any c**p.
?I?m as straight as they come but I will stand up and fight for myself in any corner. You?re not going to f**k me off or frighten me.
?Whatever you do or whatever headlines run, you?re not going to embarrass me. I?m not going to stand for it. I?ve come up here for a simple chance to f****g prove myself.
?Just wait and make a decision after whatever period of time you want. That?s fine. Until then, get off my back and let me get on with my job. That?s all I ask of you.?
Farce has followed Kinnear from the start.
He admitted fans were disappointed with his appointment, forgot to tell Mike Ashley he had a two-game touchline ban hanging over him, insisted the dream ticket of Alan Shearer and Kevin Keegan was taking over soon and let his players put their feet up on his first official day in charge.
But he declared: ?Whatever happens, the only way I?m going to win anything is by getting results. And it?s still going to be negative, negative, negative.
?You are so f*****g slimy. You are raking up players I got rid of, players I had fallen out with.
?You are not asking Robbie Earle, because he is sensible. You are not asking Warren Barton? No. Because he is f*****g sensible.
"Anyone who has played for me for 10 years at any level, you will find some **** that says something. I don?t have to hide anything.?
Kinnear revealed that owner Mike Ashley is in talks with EIGHT prospective buyers of the club.
He said: ?Who they are, what they are, when it will happen, there is no timescale.
?I am contracted for eight games, but assume should due diligence and the deals go on longer, it may run to 10 or 12.?
