People still turning their noses up at 17th?

Absolutely astounded when I heard, but it's done and dusted now. Time to get behind him and the team starting tomorrow.

That's like saying I'm surprised all of the people backing Keegan for walking out because he wasn't happy are not backing Ashley for doing the same. It's a pointless comparison. OK here's a simple couple of question please try to just answer yes or no. Was keegan right to walk out and not fight what what he believed in ? Was Ashley right to say he wants to walk away and not fight for what he believes in ? If you're not happy then I don't blame either for walking away, the main difference for me is their timing. So how is Ashley's timing any better than KK's ? The issuing of that statement was perhaps the stupidest thing he's done, left the club in the state of limbo that we are today, it's been three weeks since he left no manager yet and just been turned down by Terry f***ing Vegatables ! KK may well have thought, look it's only fair to give them to the close of the transfer window to see if they are going to make good. You could argue that he gave them every chance to prove themselves and they failed. And if you've watched any of the last 3 games the player recruitment team sure did fail. KK's comments suggest he walked because he couldn't work with a situation where players were bought without his say, yet he's already mentioned how they brought in Jonas under similar circumstances, if he wasn't happy with it then he should have gone then, he didn't though and left at a time that has hurt us the most. Ashley's statement was naive and has played a big part in us being in the mess we're currently in, most people are happy to accept that he wants out though so don't see it as anything like Keegan leaving. Agreed. If he'd walked then and Ashley had decided to sell up, we could well have been bought out by the Abu Dhabi lot.

Keegan or Hughton isn't really a contest, of course I'd have him back. That said, I'm really pissed off at the bum-chinned cry baby and the way he has flounced off and left us in the shit, so wouldn't want him back long term.

Absolutely yes. This season has 77-78 written all over it.

Silence of the Llambias. Been done yet?

Read the post or dont respond. If its a little bit too complicated for you, ask a teacher to explain what its trying to say. Dont waste my time if you dont have the brains to understand what is being said. Very unlike yourself to come across as a patronising know it all mind. I'm talking to NJS and was told to get a grip by someone who didnt even read past the first line of my post and mis-reprsented the point i was making. f*** off. I didnt want to abuse you or him directly so i pointed that out instead. This time i didnt bother. That's the spirit. Why don't you beat me unconscious next time you see me, I clearly deserve it. The best non-sequitur i've ever seen on here. You clearly have no intention of engaging on any of the points made. Clearly I don't. And you can stick your secateurs up our arse son. You share an arse with Chez? Sounds painful, and messy. Yes, yes I do. Sadly the botbotomy is too risky a procedure, so a split is out of the question.

Yep, same here.

If it's just the settlement, Ashley would have just got his legal bods to sort it out surely. Maybe he realises he has two choices to rescue his investment, sell up or re-appoint Keegan. This club!

perhaps cliff will stand in the directors box at half time and sing to the crowd, Only if it's raining.

I've just read a book about this and that article is full of inaccurrracies (like the fact that everyone died - they didn't) but it is a fantastic and very humbling story nonetheless. Dynamo, Defending the honour of Kiev by Andy Dougan, well worth a read

Looks like a nasty situation is about to get even nastier, tbh. That could be a bit of a media own-goal there for Ashley & Co. I agree entirely. Whatever the rights and wrongs of the situation, the board trying to discredit Keegan is entirely the wrong way to go about things. Coming across as some smart arsed cockney lawyers is the last thing they should have done......fucking idiots.

Looks like KK knew what his role was and it's another toys out of the pram job.

I can't see how Ashley can recover from this position. The club will be sold within a month IMHO, and we'll start all over again. Magic. :-[

As much as I don't like or rate him, it would be utter madness to let him go now without another player to replace him.

We'll make 6 signings today, and one will be a WOW signing. According to Mike Ashley on Skunkers.

Theres no shortage of "I think about Barton..." (pulls national paper out of back pocket, stumbles to read word at a time) "...that we should boo him...yus" on here as well as away fans, who do as one would expect - as we would on away teams personell. Repeating my words too ? :iamatwat: Oh, you got it. Well done.

Or maybe it was the press first, eh ? What's your problem you pompous pillock? Is it because I have a different opinion to yours. Well, excuse me.

My - I can imagine those applauding losing sleep over you two pillocks being unhappy if they cheer Barton. Makes me want to cheer and applaud him just to irritate a pair of pompous prats. Like him or loathe him he's a NEWCASTLE player I dare so you'll be waving your hankerchiefs and cheering sodding Milner when he comes back, eh ? I WON'T. Depends who he plays for with these hypocritical turds doesn't it ? Remember Keane at Man U's thuggish behaviour ? The BBC/ITV and the rags bent over backwards to applaud his determination. And when you've got some of our own fans coming up with grovelling SH1T like the above, is it any wonder ? Well said - the pair at the top there want to stop dancing to the media's tune and think for themselves for a change. It seems I'm a pompous prat and a pillock because I have a different opinion to you and many others on here? But apparently I need to think for myself? Make your mind up daft c***. "murderous family" Did I say that?

Utter horseshit.
