Keegan resigns + club to be bought out?

hendrix · 2 Sep 2008 at 16:15

Keegan leaves Newcastle, BBC and SSN both with same headlines now:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7593683.stm

now what, bring in wise as manager? 7-4 odds on him, 8-1 odds on Shearer. Hope to God it's not shearer.

Wise temporary while they search for someone else, maybe Sven i can't see Shearer taking it

JonB · 2 Sep 2008 at 16:20

Shearer isn't that stupid. He has a nice cushy BBC job. Why would he want to go into management yet?

Anyone in their right mind would stay the **** away from this Muppet Show.

Wholeheartedly agree. Newcastle are DOOMED.

If Steve McClown went to Newcastle I would be in fits of hilarity.

Peg · 2 Sep 2008 at 16:26

Sam Allardyce is still available.

topshot · 2 Sep 2008 at 16:28

steve Mclown + Random Accents + Newcastle = lol

mmj_uk · 2 Sep 2008 at 16:33

Bit ridiculous really neither Allardyce nor Keegan were really given a proper opportunity to build something.

Nzyme · 2 Sep 2008 at 16:34

Lets hope the barcodes top this off with a nice relegation

Another sign that football should not be interfered with by fat businessmen who think because they have the money to buy club, that they can run it themselves.

da_mic_1530 · 2 Sep 2008 at 16:39

love the newcastle love on this forum, I've said it before , yes the club is a laughing stock but what have we the fans done to deserve this, is relegation really what we deserve

well you could say that if you boycotted it a long time ago then the madness might of stopped.

you could always support boro or sunderland. plenty empty seats for you !

Nobody else wanted him or would pay his stupid wages thats why he went .

"andy" · 2 Sep 2008 at 16:46

thats one of the main problems with newcastle in my opinion. a lot of the signings of old only seem to be there because of greed.

saying that though i thought it was getting better untill this morning.

Silent-Lucidity · 2 Sep 2008 at 16:47

Who in their right mind would want to work for that tinpot board? First Allardyce, now Keegan. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Feel sorry for Newcastle fans, the club needs stability and looks like it won't get it any time soon.

Grouch · 2 Sep 2008 at 16:51

I'm not suprised, i can't remember a set-up where a manager doesn't have control ever working in the premiership.

I thought Keegan was starting to do a good job as well.

balls, you don't simply stop supporting a club because of whatever problems your club has. Yes in an ideal world the hull game would be boycotted, there is talk of it on the NUFC boards, but 1. season tickets have been paid for, and 2. we don't want to see the club go down or struggle due to crowd loss

Which manager to replace Keegan though?

Some people were suggesting someone Spanish (due to the recent signings). I don’t think they will get someone like Moyes or Redknapp … who on earth would like to coach the toons when he would know his maximum stay would only be a few months or may be a year?

Michael Laudrup would be an excellent coach, I think
