Injured for the 1st 3 months or so wasn't he? You expect a kid to keep a Championship squad in the Premiership?

So you thought a manager who had been out of the game for 3 years would have identified transfers before coming here? That's what you are virtually saying because managers identify targets before the window, not during and Keegan in all fairness probably wasn't doing that as he wasn't in management. Are you really saying a club our size had no idea or shortlist or targets or dossiers on anybody when KK arrived?? I don't believe it. And if that was the case hiring a manager like KK at that time can be seen as nothing other than a gamble whatever the underpinning sentiments. KK even said he's got Sam's old list and a list from the board. Some comment about 'it's always nice to backup what you are thinking' A gamble which could cost us our premiership status.

The point he had 9 days? Fuck me. He had half the window. If he didn't know what he was doing he should never have been made manager of a club who desperately needed to sign players. This is what I mean when I talk about people armed with shitloads of hindsight. Its nothing to do with hindsight, i was happy to have KK back as i thought we'd get a good chunk of players in to the club, not just in the summer but in the window. We want 3 players is what we were told all window, i was led to believe we'd get them. Nowt to do with hindsight, everything to do with being let down.

In a nutshell. 9 days was an estimate by the way TT. Way to pick up on piddly irrelevant points though Ok then, he had 6 months, its irrelevant how long he actually had even though your using it for an excuse as to why no one came in.

I'll discuss it if we go down. Until then it's a moot point. Whether we go down or not from this point on will have very little to do with what Ashley & Mort do now. That is in the hands of the manager, the players, and the other teams in the scrap. It is the decisions they have already made which have put us in the position where relegation is a distinct possibility. It's like saying it's okay to drink drive if you don't kill anyone. The decisions at the start of the season were cautious, which was understandable if frustrating for us as supporters. The decisions in January were high risk, showed a lack of understanding of the seriousness of the situation, and are deserving of criticism whatever the outcome. Keegan had 9 days to try and sign players in the transfer window. importantly, players that he wanted. At that point relegation was not on the radar and the decision was made to wait till the summer to get genuine targets which was sensible what we are seeing now is people coming out of the woodwork armed with a shitload of hindsight, now that we have failed to pick up points. 9 days? 16th Jan, window closed on 31st, long 9 days.

Fair enough, but if we rate him, it might have made sense to get him in in January. He would have added another option for the sake of a couple of million. The morale boost alone would of been worth it. Terrible decision to offer peanuts, especially when they had fuk all else in their sights since KK has been living in Narnia for the last 3 years.

Nar Leicester get that, we'd average about 39-42,000 which would of course be unparalelled, and perhaps people would finally shut up about Man City's 28,000 average gate in the 90's. I'd probably go get a season ticket. Twice as cheap, more games, a good seat, probably some loyalty bonus for next season (09-10) & some actual wins to be watched instead of humiliation & sour defeats.

I gave up reading there. Absolute nonsense. You lie. And you are.

Think so. He comes on here when he's at his Dad's sometimes, says the craics shite Really? Very interesting.... Bye Kev. A message from China to Kev: http://www.fuckoffshirts.com/images/white_chinese_tee.jpg

We were much, much more entertaining under SBR. Aye. They are what i hoped we could be under SA. mackems.gif Is that you in your signature? I don't really see what's so funny about that comment. Defensive winning football, same type of formation, same kind of ethics, very similar styles imo, i was hoping of a Moyes type revival for SA here, but it didn't work. Again i can't see why you are being a smary arse about it tbh. We're not playing defensive football. Definitely nothing like any Allardyce team I've seen, we're not playing percentage football. Some of the interplay between Cahill, Pienaar and Yakubu was absolutely fantastic today and we've been playing positive football all season. The only thing that is similar is the formation, the personnel used in the formation is very different. Allardyce used to have a much more solid, defensive minded midfield set up. The negative style under Moyes used to be my gripe with him but that ship has sailed now. I'm staggered at the amount of people I see on forums who say we play a physical or defensive game. It's ridiculous. I can only assume they don't actually watch much football outside their own team and rely on tabloid stereotypes for their opinions. You are one of the most defensive minded boring teams in the league, its not a criticism like Bolton, but something to admire, because you do it with some style. Today's match, for two teams fighting for 5th, was a bore fest. Terrible football, boring game. HT was the highlight for me. Hope you get 4th like 95% of England, but fuk me i've not seen an entertaining game from Everton for a long time. You were going to sing the roof off and do what Spurs did the the League Cup, it turned out to be a funeral. NUFC fan is a fine one to talk but, you are winning, and whatever kind of winning you can defend against, in truth i don't find it that appealing, but its better than losing. Give my right arm to be Everton right now.

I'd probably agree with that actually, at least back in. Fulham, Derby & Manu would get a good look in to be gone.

You don't know what you've just done. I think he does tbf.

Aye. I wonder how many people would see KK walk if he were to stick to playing Smith every game next season. I know i'd rather he'd leave the club as i simply couldn't trust his judgement. Hopefully its just keeping an 'asset' sellable until the summer. If he continues to play him, for me it'll just be yet more evidence that he should never have come back, and that his "success" with us and citeh was luck, and that his other bad managerial performances were the real KK. Can't see how playng Smith makes him saleable - surely his value is plummeting every time the likes of he and BArton play?? Honestly go ask god why but people still rate him outside of the club. I think its the worker attitude, managers and fans love it, they see it and think wow, what a fuking worker even though they are doing shit he never stops. They fail to realise its partly because of him were playing so shit and go away with the opinion that he's half decent. His mental approach to the game will see us recoup every penny we paid for him in the summer, i have no doubt. (that's if we want to sell him) If we don't get rid of him, Keegan is a cunt, i honestly think that. He's not even good enough to be a squad player (you need players on the bench who can DO something when they come on). I pity the next club who sign him. If e got £3m back, we'd still be robbing someone. Total agreement. If Smith is a starter next season KK can fuk off.

This thread has gone from being potentially brilliant, to being the same as all the others once the usual suspect(s) got involved. I'm confused as to where you wanted or expected this to go? (sorry if i'm one of them btw )

Well HT adverts were entertaining.

Can't be arse to read it, but it just shows how much people want to talk about us. Massive fuking replies to the article, as in size, most are one liners or two at the very best. Proper HTT responses out of people who support other teams, its crazy.

So what's the answer then, sack him? Howay, you must have an answer. If not shut the f*** up and stop your bitching which is pointless. He's our manager, he's only been here a s*** and a shave, he's inherited one of the worst group of players we've had the misfortune of seeing represent our great club and needs far more than 7 games to turn this s*** around. Now is not the time to start squealing like a bitch. Get behind the manager, a man who built this club up only for tossers to destroy it. Now he has to start all over again and fix their mess with again, one of the worst squads to represent us in our Premier League history. Whether he turns us around in the summer or whatever doesn't matter for now. It's all about staying up and getting behind people, most of all KK. You're a complete tool, "Coach". I'm not saying sack him, we shouldn't have appointed him. But I though this was about "opinions". My opinion is he's finished as a manager and has been for the last 4-5 years, and I don't need pricks like you telling me that I have to get behind him and should give him slack just because I don't agree with you. You're in support of Keegan, great. I'm not, but I don't need twatty arseholic comments from you telling me how I should think. You think he's finished, you didn't want him here and you don't support him so again what is your answer? It's not upto me. It's no good changing now, too late this season. I say the board admit they got it wrong in the summer, and appoint a manager who can then spend the summer doing it his way. I'm with O-nut btw. Shouldn't have been given the job in the first place, but I'll get behind him. I agree with HTT. I think Keegan is a top class manager[.b] and he will turn it round given the time and resources to do so. To start judging him after 7 games is in my opinion pathetic. Honest question - based on what? His great taste in hairstyles, all you have to do is look back through the years man, judge him on his perms, and not the greyness.

Nailed on then.
