Newcastle director of football Joe Kinnear in talks with Mick Harford

Mick Harford: May be moving to Newcastle

Kinnear returned to St James' Park in June as Director of Football four years after parting company as manager of the club due to health issues.

Harford recently joined the coaching staff at Millwall, but has been given the opportunity to work at his home town club.

The 54-year-old played under Kinnear during their time together at Wimbledon and remains a close friend of the Irishman.
