AILING Newcastle boss Joe Kinnear has been told he needs heart bypass surgery and will miss two months of Premier League action, it emerged today.
The 62-year-old is set to have an operation later this week after tests discovered a problem in the wake of him falling ill before his side's game on Saturday.
Assistants Chris Hughton and Colin Calderwood will take charge of the relegation-threatened club in Kinnear's absence.
