Keegan resigns + club to be bought out?

Hedge · 2 Sep 2008 at 11:01

Heard a rumour of this on another forum.

is it true?

TurboMonkey · 2 Sep 2008 at 11:07

Hopefully.

He was rubbish anyway. Newcastle are one big FAIL.

dannyjo22 · 2 Sep 2008 at 11:13

I doubt it, he doesn't have a history of being a quitter.

da_mic_1530 · 2 Sep 2008 at 11:15

was just about to post this, so far it's just a rumour, hope to christ not, cannot stand another scandal at our club

Bobster · 2 Sep 2008 at 11:18

Yup, just come here to post about this too.
Nothing on any of the big sports sites yet.

He took us from the brink of relegation to the old third division to the brink of the Premier League title.

He's come back, got us playing the best football we've played since Sir Bobby's second to last season and looking solid at the back for the first time since, well, probably the early 70s!

Aye. He's rubbish :rolleyes:

Oh, and, given the amount of blatantly made-up stories about us in the press recently, I doubt this one is any different.

thats where the rumour started(havn't read it yet)

If Wise gets the job I'll top myself, supposedly he's the one been doing all of our signings, and tbh apart from a few I'm not overly happy with them

FTM · 2 Sep 2008 at 11:36

initially it said there was just a meeting..it has since been updated

and the rumours started yesterday..a few of the lads at work were already getting text messages from mates saying what they had heard

i really cant be doing with this. its well horrible up here when the geordies are extra miserable :/

VonClinkerhofen · 2 Sep 2008 at 11:55

Obviously that 2-1 defeat at the hands of Sunderlands reserves last night was the final straw.

Andybtsn · 2 Sep 2008 at 11:59

Not sure why.

They've had a better start to the Prem than expected. Draw against Man U, win against Bolton, loss against Arsenal.

It seems to be because of his relationship with the board not because of what happens on the pitch.

Mike Ashley was wearing a King Kev shirt on Sat. Odd choice

Nzyme · 2 Sep 2008 at 12:09

Apparently its something to do with Joey Barton, maybe Keegan refused to sell him yesterday ?

FTM · 2 Sep 2008 at 12:14

he has a new one printed with Wise Choice on the back

nin9abadga · 2 Sep 2008 at 12:16

he's having a meeting at Newcastle now according to the bbc http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7593683.stm
