[Archived] Keegan Newcastle Manager!

[RibbleValleyRover]

I can understand why Keegan has walked, when the chairman/board wants to sell players behind your back and against your wishes your position is pretty much untenable.

I can’t see anyone succeeding at that club with all the deluded expectations their fans have plus having a complete moron of a chairman.

Expecting a new manager to come in and to be gone by January, whether that’s Wise or someone else.

I love the way Sky keep banging on about the fans gathering at the toon. There is about 50 of them!

Okay, tell me one sane non-Newcastle fan who didn't know that Keegan-Newcastle the Sequel was going to end like a pig in an abattoir?

So why the hell did the Toon receive Keegan as the Messiah?

It is true, football fans are officially brainless. WOrds fail me with the sheer irrationality and plain dumbness that prevails in football. Worse than children.

You're not wrong. It was always going to end in tears.

Joke club, with joke owner and joke set-up. So glad we have John Williams.

Shearer wouldnt do any better, Keegan was a stupid move too - but now I cant see anyone wanting the job, other than Wise & Poyet.

I've been and has a read of some newcastle forums to see what they are all saying. All I can really say is that mod's you would not be able to keep up, swear filter on overtime.

They are all deciding how best to hurt ashley and get him out and on no small scale, the thread has hit 100 pages and rising. This will be interesting.

Thank god for JW, I can only say I hope they have a multi faith room at newcastle ashley needs one.

What a sad day for English football. Keegan appears such an honest bloke, truly passionate about the game who only wanted what he was promised. Ashley, quite rightly, has let the fans down there.

Doesn't it make you realise how fortunate our manager is to have the power to sign his own people? i.e. Andrews (regardless of how good or bad people think he is). Further to that our club deserve great credit for alllowing their manager to get on with the job which I, for one, am very grateful and proud because we appear to be only one of several in the top flight.

[Ewood Spark]

Imagine the panic on this board now if Hughes hadn't gone to Citeh when he did! In hindsight it has perhaps all worked out for the best .... having to recruit a new manager at this stage of the season wouldn't have been much fun.

[S15]

It would/ will take some moron to actually leave a job to go there.

[Ronin]

Certainly don't see Ashley sitting with the fans for a while now!!

Right, that's two of our potential rivals possibly nobbled with their managers walking out, who's next?

[Hughesy]

Moyes next?

Our threads on Fowler and Andrews coming has nothing on what they are saying.

No wonder Ashley has gone stateside and barbados.

How do you sit with fans in an empty stadium.

[Billy Castell]

Now, who would we like to see in the job? Souness? Waddle?

I wonder how many of these fans who've gone on telly saying "Wy aye man, I wont be coomin' ta see the matches agin" will be there in a few weeks time once this has died?

Good point

[Rovermatt]

The nature of Keegan's departure has really given an insight into the way Newcastle is run. With no control over tranfers, who would want to manage there?

Dennis Wise?

[gumboots]

Dennis Wise?

Would they bring in a director of Football to help him?

Alan Shearer?

[Ronin]

I guess only a foreign manager with experience of working with a DoF would go for that job, same would apply at Wet Spam too.

[gumboots]

But if you were a foreigner wouldn't you expect someone good as your director of football, not dennis Wise? You'd expect someone with a really good knowledge of European leagues and who is a good negotiator. I wish I could feel sorry for the Newcastle fans but I just can't stop laughing as they lurch from one disaster to another.

[Ronin]

True. It makes Wise's appointment all the more baffling!

I've only ever seen Ashley and Wise together, Mmmm I wonder.

Oh dear, that's exactly how I felt last week as City and Hughes looked like they were going down the pan.What's the likelihood some flash billionaire steps in to wipe that smile of our faces again and sinks a couple of mil into The Toon?....

Or we can just enjoy it while it lasts.
