    KK resigns - see OP for new club statement issued September 6th

    in Football

    Posted

    We should also bear in mind that Keegan has never won a major trophy in his entire managerial career. The idea that he's a great manager is only a matter of opinion.

     

    Incidentally, can anyone tell me why the thread about which player Keegan resigned over, has been deleted? Politely, please.

     

    doesn't and never has bothered me that he ain't won anything... don't care that we've never one anything major in recent times.  Keegan is a manager that loves good football, and i love to watch the football he tries to get his team to play, my opinion like.

    I know this is a s*** situation, I know everyone's upset and I know I'm likely to get a load of s*** for saying what I've got to say, but I'm going to say it anyway.

     

    Do some of you support NUFC or KKFC? It seems that to a lot of people Keegan is way more important than the club, all those saying that their finished with the club, what the f*** are you on about!?! Perhaps Keegan could set up his own team and you could go and support them instead, seriously I know people are emotional at the moment but get a f***ing grip!!

     

    I like Kevin Keegan, I think he's a great bloke and a decent manager, I think he gets his teams to play football the way it should be played and I'm grateful to him for turning things around for us and getting the club back on its feet. I've also got a huge amount of respect for him for his previous time at NUFC, both as manager and as a player, his arrival in the eighties coinciding with the start of my interest in the club.

     

    But the Kevin Keegan I like exists in reality, he has faults and makes mistakes, I still like him. He's stubborn and forces a situation to the extent that it causes the club a huge amount of damage, I still like him. He says he cares about the fans and the club, but doesn't say anything for three days whilst all kinds of s*** is kicking off to the detriment of the club and the fans - although they don't seem to realise it - when a simple statement from him could have calmed the situation and protected the club from damage, I still like him.

     

    The Kevin Keegan a lot of people seem to worship at the alter of is a myth, he is portrayed as someone who can do no wrong, who is totally selfless and devotes his existence to the furtherance of NUFC with no thought whatsoever to his own well being. He is a god and every word he utters is gospel - even when he contradicts what he said previously - but not only that he is a victim, he is weak and needs protection from the nasty cockneys who were out to get him from the start and are secretly trying to bring us down in the hope that it might benefit Spurs. Keegan is the lord and we will die, or rather kill on his behalf - even if the only thing that dies is the club we're supposed to love.

     

    Now what's going to happen if it turns out that Keegan is not entirely blameless in all this?

     

    Well, I'll still like him.

     

    You on the other hand are left with a choice:

     

    Have your illusion shattered, your idol fallen, your dreams dashed and kneejerk totally to the opposite, forever hating his guts and cursing his name.

     

    or:

     

    Deny reality, continue on with your delusion and pretend things aren't how they really are, shout and scream and bawl out anyone who disagrees with your faith.

     

    Because I'm telling you now, no-one, not even Keegan is blameless in this. They've all played their role in this disaster, but only some of them have stuck around to try and sort it out.

     

    NUFC's still here, you're supposed to be Newcastle supporters, are you going to support it, or what!?!

     

     

    bit of a straw man argument as you seem to think people assume keegan has no flaws.

     

    but that's wrong - the keegan that nufc fans love is the one that made the "i'd Love it if we beat them, love it" statement, the one we know is emotional and wears his heart on his sleeve. it is this passion and the desire to challenge things head on that has partly caused this situation. people arent denying that - they're just looking at it a  bit more deeply than you are and looking at what caused keegan to go head to head with llambias, rather than just focusing on the act of confrontation itself as if it existed in a vacuum  - without very real problems and underlying issues that, i presume, still exist at the club and will be probably be causing the new man the exact same problems 8 months down the line. similar problems have caused Curbishley to walk out at west ham, or Mourinho to leave Chelsea, or Redknapp to leave Southampton.

     

    Exactly. I don't think KK doesn't have any flaws, he has many and some of them are what make him great but when I see him on the touchline, even when N'Zogbia is at left back or when Damien Duff is allowed to be alive, I support him because no matter what, I always, always believe that he is doing what he feels is best for NUFC. He doesn't let personal stuff get in the way of what he feels is the best thing for the club, he doesn't pick certain players to prove a point and he doesn't let his headstrong attitude ever get in the way of the football club. I can't say that about any other manager I've seen at NUFC (even Sir Bobby, bless him).

     

    He also happens to be a f***ing good manager who plays football the way it should be played.

     

    If Arsenal forced Wenger out tomorrow, or Man Utd Fergie, their fans would be just as livid as we are. It's not a case of supporting KK, it's a case of wanting the best man for the job and for me that was KK. If he'd been doing a s*** job and had to go, fair enough, but to see him leave for non-footballing reasons, forced out by people who couldn't give a f*** about the club, leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth.

     

    Ironic that we spoke to Redknapp in January too, as you say Johnny. He also left Pompey because of that Croatian bloke in the background, now he's come back, gets to buy his own players and he's doing a far superior job to first time round. Funny that isn't it?

     

    spot on

    that tells me that the club where so far away with its suggestions that it wasn't worth discussing, f***ing gutted!

     

    what the fact that keegan received a letter telling him what was what ... spineless retard of a chairman

     

    i negotiate deals with suppliers a lot of the time for much less importnat things, and i do it face to face... not by f***ing letter

    Kevin Keegan - Official NUFC Club Statement

     

    Newcastle United Football Club is sad and disappointed that Kevin Keegan has resigned.

     

    Over the last few days the Club has devoted itself to the discussions it has held with Kevin and as a result of those discussions had put together a set of practical suggestions for how to move forward.

     

    Today the Club made it clear to Kevin that if he had any outstanding concerns on its proposals, he should raise them with the Club.

     

    The Club regrets that Kevin has, instead of taking up that offer, chosen to resign.

     

    What a load of s****.

     

    exactly... fucking load of crap

    exactly they've ruined the club

    I'm dissapointed in Kevin Keegan.

     

    I honestly believe everything was laid out in front of him and he signed up for it.

     

    Players were imposed on him because the ones he wanted did not fit the profile of what he himself agreed to, and so he was given alternatives which our scouts had identified.

     

    Every player brought in so far has been very promising, so it's not as though he wasn't being provided with quality alternatives.

     

    Not impressed by Keegan's choice to resign at all. Shouldn't have agreed to things in the first place.

     

    YOU DONT GET KK BACK AND TELL HIM WHAT TO DO 

     

    REALLITY CHECK ON HERE FOR SOME PEOPLE

     

    STOP PLAYING FOOTBALL MANAGER GAMES FFS!

     

    Hey pal, he was told how it would be from the outset.

     

    I seriously doubt that Ashley then did anything differently.

     

    They met after Keegan's rant and Ashley intervened to try and make things better for Keegan, and Keegan claimed he was happy with things.

     

    Yet here we are. Keegan has left because he just wanted things differently to what he agreed to.

     

    People talking about boycotting the club are being ridiculous as far as I'm concerned.

     

     

     

    Do you believe keegan would have agreed to the job knowing players could be sold or bought without his agreement?

    I do think Ashley is a big fan of KK and does want what KK represents, hence why he appointed him and why I hope he does all he can to keep him because that then will tell me Ashley also has the clubs best interests at heart rather than his own or anyone elses which could be the dream team ticket we are desperate for. I'm hoping and keeping my fingers crossed.

     

    god i hope your right
