Magpies tell recovering Kinnear to ‘chill out’

NEWCASTLE boss Joe Kinnear has been ordered to “chill out” as he continues his recovery from heart surgery.

Managing director Derek Llambias yesterday revealed the 62-year-old has been in touch repeatedly since being discharged from hospital at the weekend after undergoing a triple bypass.

However, Llambias, who has also confirmed that Kinnear will not be replaced — either permanently or temporarily — as he recuperates from the operation, has told Kinnear he must relax and let assistants Chris Hughton and Colin Calderwood take the strain.
