Keegan is going to ruin us!!!!!

It's the board giving him money to spend. Keegan, like any manager, wouldn't be looking to buy if there weren't funds available, or funds he's been told are available.
 
Can't blame Keegan. The board don't have to give him the money. You can't blame Keegan for going to them asking for money. It's not his job to handle the financial aspects of the club. That duty is given to those at the highest level. That debt is down to the board not saying no to Keegan I think.

Weren't City already in debt when Keegan took over though? I seem to remember hearing that they were from somewhere......I'm probably wrong though :)

No, Keegan had a right fit when Bernstein wouldn't let him spend any more, a rift was evident during the Fowler transfer when Bernstein didn't want to pay £6M up front for him.

Keegan and Bernstein had clashed before over transfer funds, and it seems as if Keegan won.

Hinchy, Keegan spent £50M and the club is now £39M in debt, which means that before Keegan took over we had something like £11M...
 
yeah keegan is going abit crazy with the £s he has, WTF another striker after seeing the arsenal match he needs a bloody new defense not striker
 
Keegan is only happy with the money tree always blooming, watch him spit it and struggle to manage the team well on low funding;) Curbishly and Moyes are the real managers out there oh and of course Bobby;)
 
Keegan is overrated as a manager.. he has a great ability to inspire and motivate players but tactically.. :eek: and wherever he's had any kind of success he's spent a fortune. He'll quit City soon when the going gets tough, like he always does :rolleyes:

Er, Newcastle, forced out by the board, Fulham, left for England job, England, bottled it but rightly so.

Keegan is a great guy, he cares a lot. If Man City get into debt spending £50m then they're no where near the big club they think they are. And if the board can't say no when asked about players then they shouldn't be on the board of a multimillion £ company

agree totally and I think Keegan is tactically good enough for the premiership but not for the international scene.

You just have to look at what he has achieved at Newcaslte where he took them from the brink of relegation into division three (or two cant remember) to second spot and champions league football within about 3-4 years !

Along the way Newcastle gained loads of admirers as the newcastle of that day played some of the most breathtaking attacking football the premiership has ever seen.

Sure his philosophy was we'll score mor egoals than you but hell he won far more than he lost and all of the supposed tactically sound managers of the time couldn't get near him (except fergie :p )

He will do OK at Man City and hell I cant believe yer complaining already EX-Ronin he got you promoted in his first full season (after saving you from relegation to Division 2) Now he has all but secured yer premiership status in the first season and you may yet finish in the top 10 or above which is an amazing achievement in the first year of the premiership.

If the board are prepared to give him £20mill to spend then so be it as it is not Keegans fault that they are willing to give him it.

And he is right to some extent you do need a new defender or two as well as a new Goalkeeper (This will probably be schmiechels last season and Nash aint exactly the worlds best) and another striker ? hmm not sure about that you could probably do with another midfielder first and to get rid of all the crap at the club such as

Wanchope, Goater, Huckerby etc etc.
 
also do you think you would have got players like schmiechel, anelka, fowler to a club that had just been promoted without Keegan ?

I seriously doubt it .


you should be greatful.
 
He's done some good things so far, admittedly, but his wager on putting the club £70m into debt will only work if we start qualifying for the UEFA cup from next season onwards. If we don't, we are ******, and quite royally too!

As for offloading Wanchope and Goater....errr, no :confused: Those two plus Anelka and Fowler make for an excellent attacking force, we should invest into defenders and GK's and another midfielder or two, but certainly not get rid of The Goat.

I still don't think that putting a freshly promoted club £70M into debt is gonna work. If we don't qualify for Europe next season, we are ******. Keegan is risking too much, I would have preferred another season of midtable safety and then pushing for Europe rather than risking everything on next season.
 
keegan aint risking anything the board are by giving him the money

and no goater and wanchope are not good players. They are good 1st division players but neither will cut it at the top level.

get rid while they are worth something and bring in someone who will cut it at the top level.

also you have just stated that you should invest in

I don't want 6 new players in one batch, I am pointing out the areas where improvements could be made, however, these improvements should be made over the next two seasons, not now in one batch. It would make more sense to take it easy, because the squad that is there will not get relegated for another two seasons, HOWEVER, not qualifying for Europe next season whilst having bought 4-6 players will destroy the club. If you get those players over a longer time span, it makes more financial sense.

Goater is not premiereship material? Look at his scoring rate, look at his games against ManU.

As for Wanchope, if he can cut it at the world cup, then he can cut the Premiereship I think :p

oh and lol

henry, trezeguet, zidane

none of these cut it at the WC so you saying none of these could cut it in the Premiership :p
 
Keegan is the WORST manager in the country, he is a parasite, i predicted he would suck city dry same as he has every other club he has "managed".
Bernstein was the only buffer between keegan and the rest of the idiots on the city board.
He will demand cash, he will get it, you will go bust with nothing to show for ir.
