N’Zogbia not playing while Kinnear is in charge

Charles N’Zogbia has stated that he will never play for Newcastle again while Joe Kinnear is in charge. The Frenchman believes the Magpies boss has disrespected him in recent weeks and feels he no longer enjoys a working relationship with the experienced coach.

“I wish to apologise to the fans for wanting to leave the club,” he said in a statement. However, having been insulted by Joe Kinnear, I will never play for him again while he remains Newcastle manager. “The club are aware that there are offers on the table for me and they should accept one of them”.
