Kinnear Names The Date!

The Newcastle United boss is hoping he will be back in the dugout for next month's game against Tottenham Hotspur.

Kinnear is currently recuperating after undergoing a triple heart bypass operation last month after complaining of feeling unwell before the match at West Bromwich Albion.

Chris Hughton is in caretaker charge, along with Colin Calderwood, as the Magpies look to preserve their Premier League status.

But the experienced Kinnear is likely to be back at the helm before the end of the season after making good progress following his surgery.
