Football boss swears 52 times in rant

Newcastle United manager Joe Kinnear swore 52 times in the space of five minutes at a recent press conference.

Kinnear, who has been vilified in the media for taking on a short-term job that a host of other managers had turned down, kicked off the conference by calling a tabloid journalist "a c***".

The football boss then launched into a tirade when the journalist asked him why he had given the team the day off on his first day in charge.

"It is none of your f****** business," Kinnear said. "What the f*** are you going to do? You ain't got the balls to be a f****** manager. F****** day off. Do I want your opinion? Do I have to listen to you?"

As the press conference became increasingly heated, a Newcastle press officer said: "What has been said in here is off the record and doesn't go outside."

Kinnear then responded: "Write what you like. Makes no difference to me. Don't affect me, I assure you. It'll be the last time I see you anyway."
