keegans odds now as low as 6's

oddschecker already has keegan coming in from 33's and 20,s to 8's and 10's (7's at ladbrokes buts thats no surprise the tight gets)

and it was his fault for appointing him in the first place

It was on Skunkers first, wasn't it? Dunno, post a link will you? I'm dying to know who the poster who put it on Toontastic actually is Just checked. TT were first I only said that in the hope that you'd actually check. I'm delighted that you did does it matter really ? it was all over the town by 5-30pm.

monday 11am after the story is broke in the sunday papers

next manager will die whilst in charge....no sacking,resignation or mutual consent

Agreed although if the rumours are true we will be looking for another manager in about a year I can imagine this is what living with Martin Jol is like. "Just got the nod, you've got fish fingers for dinner, can't name me source but they'll be done in 20 minutes" and when the plate arrives it's crispy pancakes

lippi at 50/1 with blue square (can get 66/1 at stan james) unlikely but at those odds worth a tenner

the thoughts in germany are that klinsmann got the best out of an already set up coaching set up and wasn't that astute himself. (the current german manager whose name i cant remember being the brains behind it) Rubbish. is it ? it's what i've been told and read thats all

yes but would you have been delighted if we'd won more but came out after every game like we did after birmingham knowing we didn't deserve it ? Chelsea fans were livid at our "ugly" long ball football we played against them, but we still deserved something. Results would have given him more time, taking a decent stab at it and not coming away with anything (like we did at blackbunr) would have given him more time. But about 80% of the time we were producing neither. got your point. i was meaning we can play ugly and still deserve to win. but like you say we were doing neither

can we not cancel this match what with all the "who's it going to be?" excitemnet going on ?

I wouldn't go quite as far as that, many fans will want to see instant improvement and/or progress IMO. Take your general point though. Any new manager is going to get a boost out of his players playing for spots etc. So whoever it is should have a bit of time to settle in on the new manager honeymoon. Remember Allardyce started out pretty swimmingly. the first half at bolton ?

In other news..... (from that page) "Robbie Savage says he snubbed Sunderland because boss Roy Keane didn't want him enough. Savage has elected to join Paul Jewell's Derby County in a £1.5million move." Musn't of had enough hair on his body to warrant Keano making a 'super serious' move for him. My favourite bit of that story was Savage proclaiming: "I'm the type of player that can keep a team in the Premier League." i'll guess he can...unlikely to be the team he's playing for though

Never going to happen, Mourinho is lined up for AC Milan and why would Lippi come to us? Do people think that we appointed Souness, Roeder and Sam even though the best managers in the world were willing to come to us? Do you honestly think there was no one better than Roeder? Or do you think that was just a convinient option for Shepherd? If Man City can get SGE, we can get a decent manager in too, I would've thought. I think that there were no stand out options and we started playing well under Roeder so we kept him on. All the talk of Managers fancying a challenge seems odd to me, I can't think of many examples of it happening sir bob..ramos..mourinho (to some extent)

so then...when ? next week was my guess

i'm not even going to bother switching on

Clearly. You'd think the people agreeing would be more embarrassed once NE5 started agreeing with him. no. I have quite clearly been correct for a long time, and I'm dead pleased parky is correct too. And, if the end result of todays events is the club showing real ambition with their own appointed manager, I fully expect to see quite a lot of u-turns from those of the more conservative persuasion - probably the same people who oddly wanted the old board so "splash the cash" all the time, meaning they have done a 360 degree circle of u turns. i'd like to see cash being splashed if we can afford it (ie ashley spending like abramovich) i'd not like to see cash being splashed if we cant afford it (ie racking up unsustainable debts)

did you hear it or are you going off what i posted as i didn't hear the full thing ?

wages and a bigger transfer kitty

Nail on head! Excellent post!! if the manager shows some improvement on the play served up by allardyce there'll be no booing. if the managerfucks things up like allardyce then about 6months.

how many times do we have to spell it out. IT WAS THE PERFORMANCES NOT THE RESULTS THAT DONE HIM IN ! seven months,20 games of no sign of improvemnet by a manager not of the owners choosing would get rid of any manager at any club.

What did he say basically that ashley doesn't make rash decisions and when asked who ashley had lined up said words to the effect of "i'm not telling" and that he (ashley) is in hong kong right now working on a deal with philip greene So this is our new manager? http://images.elfwood.com/fanq/b/r/brebo/hong_kong_phooey.jpg well i hope he brings spot with him. he's the brains of the operation in my view
