Keegan appointed new Newcastle manager, again.

This thread is ridiculous. Only a minority of Newcastle fans wanted him sacked, most backed him. This isn't the fans' decision.
 
Yeah yeah :p

Big stadium, big fan base, big players, big money!

Big fanbase? Apart from just in Newcastle do they have support anywhere else?

Big players? I can think of one.

Having a big stadium doesn't make you a big club, Sunderland for example.

A big club for me needs to have been consistently challenging for the big trophies, something which Newcastle have not.
 
The fans would have been behind him if he showed progression, but nothing was coming through.

They talk about stability, but he was creating move waves than was needed.

He failed not us, the fans were right behind him, he started messing about, it didn't work, it was his way of the highway, it still didn't work and now he's out of a job.

Who's to blame here?

Not us.
The Newcastle fans are completely to blame, as an outsider unless the likes of you realise this your club will never go anywhere
 
Were a UEFA spot club (or challenging), or should and would still be if we didn't appoint souness.

Just like Liverpool are not a championship club any more, just a cup club, we all know our place.

Your not far off the UEFA Cup spots as it is so that about right.

Us not being to cut it in the league is different, and that's not relevant to Newcastle anyway.

Outsider talking bull as per usual.

You know sod all about this club and how the fans feel so behave.
 
If i were a toon I'd want the board to go after hiddink or scolari or jose

Im going to be bold, and say there is no way newcastle will sign hiddink, scolari or jose to manage them.

I'd imagine that you might end up with shearer (massive mistake IMO) but in reality Sam was an awesome manager to go to newcastle, and the whole thing with the fans turning against him booing is whats probably caused him to leave.

Anyone who thinks Newcastle are anything more than a team that can try to get into europe, but its far from guarenteed is IMO, totally deluded.
 
Its a shame for us, this one should have worked out, possibly right man at the wrong time, he needs time, you simply do not get that in todays football...
Benitez has been given a fair few years to try and win the PL, never managed it, and yet there he still is.

Moyes has kept his job despite at least one "blip" season with Everton.

Middlesbrough are still showing (arguably misguided) faith in Gareth Southgate after nearly two years of not much.

Hell, a more knee-jerk board might well have given Wenger the boot after two seasons of being nowhere near the PL title.

I'm not going to berate the Newcastle board when, as you say, the details aren't really known yet, but you can still get plenty of faith in managers in this league.

But you know you are not a title contender?

You don't have the clout right?

We know were not a 4th place team, for a FACT.

We know though with a bit of luck, few signings we could be back were we belong, getting regularly into Europe, UEFA.

Few signings, possibly a different manager, Liverpool could possibly be league contenders, but the other 3 evolve so fast and keep doing so the chances of a league title are really no existent without some big changes.

Big changes could come for us in the future, and we could be CL players again, but that is something we can only dream about in the state.

Top half finish with progression this season is all i wanted, its what 95% of the fans wanted as well, its nothing stupid, its nothing out of our reach, and it should have happened.

Its easy to blame the fans, especially with the negative media coverage we get, problem is, no one ever speaks to the fans, only the muppets parked outside the ground peeved up on cheap cider.
 
Alan Smith is one of the worst footballer at the club, he's terrible.

What makes it more depressing is that he is currently captain :( I don't see what Geremi or Smith give to that responsibility.

I've only seen the Stoke match this year (I usually see more since we're usually in Europe :P) and most of the time it was long balls, our forwards were getting frustrated but not getting the ball to the feet and having to chase and compete against tall opposition. Wasn't very inspiring, although we have a couple of decent signings (Viduka and Faye) that can help build the side.

I must admit I'm surprised it happened now, but it was only a matter of time. Consider as well that Chris Mort did not appoint Big Sam.

I am praying that he has thought this through and that he has someone in mind for the manager's job and that he gets him in and gives him at least a couple of weeks to see if he can do something in the transfer market. Then give the club the stability it desperately needs.

EDIT: Oh, and making Shearer manager, a man with no managerial experience at all, is the worst thing that Newcastle could do in this situation.

They haven't got a replacement lined up as it came to them as a surprise, SA has left the club agreeing a nice pay off in the process, the board were hardly going to refuse in the current climate.
 
I think people are confused between big club and successful club. For me, there's a difference.
 
shearer would make a good manager and deserves it.

Hahahaha, Funniest thing I've read for ages...What skills and experience does he have to run a 'big' club with some of the worst supporters in the Premiership?

If he has some bad results, he will be booed, like all the others before him. The club is becoming a bit of a joke :p

I definately agree, and they are still not a big club IMO. They have a loyal large fanbase, but they are not a club who will attract champions league standard players. Owen is there, but remember he is only playing once every 2 months with his injuries !
 
from a newcastle fan point of view I think this is completely barmy, as said we arn't going to be relegated this season without something going drastically wrong, a new manager won't win anything this season so why sack sam. WE NEED STABILITY, everyone already looks upon the toon managers job as a poisoned chalice. Mike Ashley seems to be a clever enough guy, so IMO he won't have sacked sam unless he has a verbal agreement with somebody else high profile, otherwise he is just plain stupid. We have a rough run of games coming up and needed leadership and stability, not another new manager. I'm not defending Big sam, I thought his tactics and decisions were questionable, but he needed time to build. I feel a little sorry for him really, It was Freddy Shepard who brought him here and obv promised him this and that, a large transfer kitty etc, but instead he got Mike Ashley who has given him funds but not a large amount he was expecting. Will add more later and my post may lack clarity and cohesion as I'm rambling
