Teasy

At the end of the day these people are scared by a truly international game that they can't win by default. They have there insular sports where America always wins and that's the way they want it to stay. Of course only in America would people have such a strong opinion about something like this and express that opinion in such an obnoxious and frankly insane manner. I can only imagine how embarrassed sane Americans must be by these idiots..

Are you suggesting we're going to spend £1001 million plus everything the club brings in, therefore leaving Ashley as a lowly millionaire with only 999 million to his name?

I know that. But I doubt Keegan would've let it be known to Peter if he was getting anyone in or not, at this stage, as James was suggesting. James didn't say Peter said Keegan told him anything like that, he just (correctly) said that Beardsley suggested its more likely the major deals would be conducted in the summer. Says so during the .co.uk interview. Depends what you consider major deals.. IMO we need to spend £10-15 on a player or two in this window if we're to have any chance of salvaging anything from the current season (by salvaging something I mean finishing in a reasonable position which will put us in a better position to buy players in the summer). £10-15 wont get us much in this day. Elano cost £8 million, a player of his quality would make a big difference for us. Half price because he doesn't really do the business away from home. So you wouldn't take him right now for £8 million then? Also if not doing the business away from home still means he can score and rip a team like ours to peices then I'd be fine with that

Do you know what day it is? Obviously not if you think the windows about to close...

They were dropped years ago. Yeah I know, but from memory I was under the impression they'd caused Beardsley to resign from his post at the time.

Academy eh?, didn't think he'd worked there since those allegations against him. Definitely don't see a job like that affording him any real info on transfer activity though.

Since when?

I'm a real fan, because I've been watching Newcastle before I was born, hurray for being a real fan...

Seriously, this isn't even funny, what's the point?

Is this an entry for silliest thread ever?

I can't see that video by the way, it says it can't play the media file.. I want to see it

He is an idiot, just saying he wasn't claiming he knew. Still I suppose you're right that when he talks about only four people knowing he was only saying it to make it look like he couldn't possibly have known, when in fact he should of if he wasn't completely shit at his job.

To be fair to Anal what he said is that only 4 people knew about this situation from Sunday until it was revealed on Wednesday. Ashley, Mort, Keegan, and his wife..

Erm, you were the one who mentioned one player in particular which was, in your opinion, an example of this same situation happening before and not working out. Obviously many young players haven't worked out, but that's beside the point..

He bought those players though.. When he actually came in as manager our playing staff was far from awesome. The likes of Viduka are more likely to do one then do any of Les, Ginola or Rob Lee

I really don't know what to think. I prefer Keegan over any of the other possible British managers. But I really thought someone like Deschamps, who obviously wanted the job, was the way to go. Not only would he be an exciting up and coming manager, but also the rest of the country wouldn't laugh there arses off at the appointment like they will with Keegan. Obviously in the end what matters is how well he does, not what some tit fan of another club thinks, or the media. But it just would have been nice, and a sign of a real change IMO, if we'd gone for someone like Deschamps. This appointment is very much a Shepherd kind of thing, reactionary and emotional.

Based on what? based on what Mort has said; Houllier, Redknapp, and shearer being ruled out, theres not many names left to choose from. Erm, you have read the thread title haven't you?? yeah .. this was reported last night, which said he has already had talks and was going to be our manager, today we find out no contact has been made, just another rumour to fill the tabloids. But Mark Hughes and Keegan aren't just rumours to fill the tabloids? Get a grip man..

Being Didier Deschamps..

Bandying about silly rumours helps no'one..

To do what, win the league?, don't be stupid..

was nice while it lasted. What about his quotes though? the quotes saying "no approach"? by tomorrow the chase will probably have moved on to pastures new. He said "No official approach", think about it...

Did a bit of magic rewinding It does look like him, unfortunately Capello's head is obstructing the view.
