It'll be a foreigner. Can't see another English manager up to the job or that would put up with the lack of control over transfers.

Getting more and more frustrated with this now. I'm also losing sympathy with Keegan the longer he drags this on. He either needs to say he is staying or leave, it's not fair to leave the club in limbo like this, no man is biger than the club.

What are you basing Gonzalez being better than Butt on? Have you even seen him play?

Bought anelka for city didnt he? He also bought David Sommeil, Eyal Berkovic, Robbie Fowler and Michael Tarnat. I'm just really playing devil's advocate here really, I'm not particularly of one opinion or another.

His record was extremely mixed at Man City, with him signing some absolute rubbish. Also if the board has been buying the players, I'd say they have done a good job so far in getting Gutierrez and Coloccini. Is it really such a good idea giving Keegan complete control of transfers?

Whether Keegan is staying or not, the board needs to start it's search for a new manger now. If Keegan stays then great, we'll be overjoyed, but if he goes we need a replacement in before long so common sense suggests with Keegan looking like he would leave we need to start looking NOW.

Praying that Keegan decides to stay. Were fucked without him.

Extremely unhappy but will still support the team.

I'm not gonna boycott as such, but I was gonna try and make it up for the Hull game (it was 50/50) but now I'm not going to bother with Keegan gone.

The club have said NOTHING about Keegan's departure despite it being reported for over 5 hours.

If anyone thinks you can win the league anymore without HUGE money men behind you, then you are mistaken. I'd love it if we were taken over by DIC.

KK rumoured to be going. BBC say he is in a board meeting. SSN say he didn't take training this morning.

So let me get this straight ... if they don't deny a rumor, no matter what the rumor is, that makes it true? It's been on all the news outlets since 10.30. it would take them 5 mins to correct it. So yes. No, professional clubs don't issue statements about pieces of press speculation. They'd run out of printer paper in no time. There is press speculation, then their is front page on BBC and top story on SSN. It needs denying.

KK didn't take training this morning.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7593683.stm Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan has been holding talks with the club's board on Monday, BBC Radio Newcastle understands. Reports have suggested that Keegan has been unhappy as speculation mounts over his future at St James' Park. The club's only business on transfer deadline day was a £5.7m swoop for Spain's Xisco and the loan signing of midfielder Ignacio Gonzalez. Keegan, 56, made a dramatic return to Tyneside in January. More soon.

we dont know there was ever a offer and ever if there was it may have not been a good one. Guy who broke the story said 3 clubs were under consideration - Arsenal, Man City and Newcastle. Ashley wouldn't sell/overpriced the club so Abu Dhabi went for City instead. Well done Ashley. You c*nt Have the Adu Dhabi lot done anything yet to make you think you'd rather have them than Ashley in charge? They've only been at Man City about 18 hours for fuck's sake. They bought Robinho.

Pure speculation here but my guess would be they promised him some things in last Wednesday's board meeting like replacing Milner and none of this happened in the end.

Emergency meeting or planned? Didn't say.

BBC are saying Keegan going is still unconfirmed but there was definetly a board meeting a SJP this morning.

Five Live saying they think he's gone.

I'm trying to be positive but something is not right. Keegan said on friday he wanted 3 or 4 players in and would have Milner's money to spend, we got 2 players in and didn't spend close to what Milner got us. Keegan was saying all last season and all summer the squad was too small yet it doesn't increase in size. How can we have confidence, when our own manager doesn't seem to know what's going on. There's also other issues which I think have been dealt with very poorly by the club all summer and I am definetly not happy at this time. I'd love to see us have a great season but it just doesn't feel like it wll happen right now.

Playing the man who has the most assists (guessing) for us last season is an absolute farce? Geremi's never going to set the world alight but he's no Smith. I'm not going to deny Geremi has a good delivery, he probably has the best in our team. But he in no way should be starting on our right wing. He has zero pace, can't beat a man and due to his lack of pace has problems tracking back when opponents break quickly, leaving Beye badly exposed. My piont is Milner should have never been sold if we weren't going to buy a replacement. Why are you ignoring Geremi being a better player than Milner. There is also an arguement that Jonas was bought as Milner's replacement as he plays on the right wing. Seriously, fuck off. You must still be pissed if you think Geremi is a better player than Milner. My piont is also even if Jonas was brought in to play on the right, with our squad being so small he'll end playing on the left a fair bit.
