Newcastle United boss Joe Kinnear was delighted to earn his first win as manager in last night's 2-1 victory over West Brom.
He said: "It's been doom and gloom since I arrived. We were just desperate for our first win and we have been threatening to do it since I got here. I am really pleased.
"We couldn't dwell on the Sunderland game and getting out of the bottom three will give us a big lift and none more so than myself.
"It is my first victory at a fantastic club, I don't know how long I will be here but at least I can go away saying I won one match and hopefully there will be a few more."
