Well, that was well overdue.

What? Is he just talking about tradition here? Probably, until Chelsea were taken over they'd won less then all the teams mentioned there, less then us as well.

Where??. EDIT: never mind, my browser wasn't refreshing properly.

f*** yeah, something a little more solid it seems.......and in english You realise that those articles say exactly what the Croatian ones do? Just because it's now in English, doesn't give it greater credibility, they've just done what we've done and got someone who speaks Croat to tell us what they say the only difference is that more people read their posts than whoever it was who wrote it on here and they're too up their own arse to acknowledge their sources. Actually they aren't exactly the same as the Croatian sources from what I can see. None of the Croatian sources I read had the quotes the Sun has in.

I never had any doubts, it was obvious to me that the run of games Keegan had when he took over made his job (which initially was to bring confidence back) impossible. I was sure once we got a run of winnable games he'd bring back the confidence in the players and have the team playing better Football and winning.

Titus Bramble had a 5 year personal dislike of Alan Oliver yet he still can't even get the man's name.. he really is a scatter brained idiot! mackems.gif Previously I just thought of the guy as someone who did his best but just couldn't deal with the pressure of playing for a big club, I had no dislike for Titus personally what so ever and I'm sure most Newcastle fans would be the same. Well not after this little comment:

From The Voice newspaper, Tuesday:

What a bizarre thing to say.. The staff you mention are here to build for the future, but we also need to spend big in the summer to build a team now. You're talking as if you can only do one or the other... As if buying now makes building a structure for the future pointless, when in fact you have to do both to be successful.

How much we spend will all depend on wether we can get all the players we want. If we can I think we'll spend between £50 and £80 million.

Honestly Which were his car crash performances? Liverpool at a push.... I can't remember any winger giving him a really tough time. What's his name again? You know, that Man Utd player ... OH, you mean the one that got a tough time off Enrique so switched flanks and pissed on Carr instead? Exactly, Enrique had Ronaldo in his pocket for most of the game, if only Beye had been playing right back the same probably would have happened on the other side when Ronaldo switched..

Did Sky do the fanzone commentary for the Sunderland game? I'd love to see that.. I'd also love to see the same for the Spurs game come to think of it..

Villa didn't spend £50 million on players, then again they also weren't close to relegation last season like Man City were I suppose. I certainly wouldn't say Sven's been a failure at this point but he has made some pretty big mistakes. Have not followed that closely, what were his big mistakes? He bought Rolando Bianchi for about £9 million (?) and then ended up loaning him out to Lazio only 6 months later. Also he bought Felipe Caicedo for £5 million and the lad hasn't been considered good enough to start a game yet.. Like I said it would be harsh to consider him a failure just because of a poor second half to the season, but he has made a couple of mistakes that might have pissed Shiniwatra off a bit.

Who? Never heard of him Bit unecessarily harsh if those quotes are true. The only quotes there are "win trophies" and "play for a club at the bottom".. misguided comments IMO considering he's talking about mickey mouse trophies but not exactly harsh. Everything else there is the work of which ever cunt wrote the article.

but Souness bought Boumsong, Luque and Babayaro! Souness bought also Owen, Solano and Parker (who was superb in his first season)! Allardyce also bought Beye, Enrique, Faye and the ever improving Viduka and Barton, overall much better group of signings then the three you mentioned. I agree he's still a s*** manager of course.

Allardyce was terrible, but at least he brought in the likes of Beye, Enrique and Faye (and to a lesser extend Barton and Viduka). Souness got rid of our best players and the only player he brought in who's ended up being worth anything to us was Owen (who was injured the whole time he was manager anyway). I think we were generally more clueless as a team with Allardyce here, but we were pretty hopeless with Souness as well.. so just because of the few good players Allardyce signed I'm going to have to vote for Souness as the worst manager of the last 15 years.

Surely its not just about money though, if playing Premiership Football isn't a big part of his decision then I hope he stays where he is..

What on earth are you on about? What does caring about a sport and making already overpaid people even more overpaid have to do with each other? Do you think having an ad break every 2 minutes during a game equals caring about the sport I think these players get enough don't you?...

Why on earth would the team with the two best keepers in the league need a new keeper? Also Enrique has to be our first choice left back, so Riise would be a poor signing (he'd want to play every game and he's just not that good). Basically this is the same shit the papers have been banging on about for the last month or so, I wish they'd get some new ideas..

Are they even filling there current stadium though? Also I thought player transfer fee's weren't fully included in these kind of accounts?

Yes the debts are managable, but at what point do they actually reduce those debts? Surely they want to do that at some point.

Lets not forget this one: "The man is a total clown and way out of his depth. when we get relegated it will al be down to him, not big sam because guaranteed we would have picked up more points under him than Keegan in the last 10 games.It was an utter joke appointing him in the first place and a monumental f*** up waiting to happen. all of us who forecast this when he was appointed it is all coming to fruition. The first time he was here it was his tactical ineptness which cost us winning the league now its his total ineptness and unawareness which will eventually relegate us Keegan do the honorable thing and f*** OFF back to your circus you totally clueless piece of s***" http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=50747.msg1234892#msg1234892

What?...

no he didnt, just better times. Glory doesn't necessarily mean winning a trophy.. Surely its obvious this isn't just about two games.. It just so happens that those two games (along with the point at Birmingham) have ended the worry of relegation. Most people have been excited about what Keegan could achieve with Ashley's money since he arrived, but that excitement has had to go on hold while we were in real trouble of relegation.

I think Keegan could convince him that with the money he has to spend we'll be in Europe next season and pushing for Champions League for the next few seasons. Also he'll be able to offer him something the likes of Liverpool may not be able to, first team Football every week. Its definitely a possibility IMO.
