If Keegan had come clean in early August we would probably now have owners who live in the UAE.

Did the club need to placate the fans though? I can't remember too much dissent when they sacked Allardyce.

I always check mine, the worst one I get wrong when I type in a hurry is then and than, I have no idea why.

Do you really think Keegan was brought in to placate the fans while purse strings were tightened? I can't think of a worse person to bring in if that's really what they were trying to do.

That's better, but only just.

You've got "doing a Leeds" quoted twice, why is that?

100-ish.

I would like to believe thats true but I have to say that I honestly think these people are serious. Maybe its an age thing? without wanting to push the whole "kids over there" bit its a fair assumption that the average age is lower than a lot of other forums. Maybe they arent as used to the whole disappointment thing, maybe they have a naive belief that all will be well. It confuses me it really does. If I was seeing the same things elsewhere I would understand it but we dont. Ive been on dozens of message boards in the last 24 hours shamelessly plugging the Supporters Club (did I mention it here? ) and while there Ive taken in any posts that look interesting but Ive not seen anything in the way of the apathy or (whats the opposite of dissent?) thats over there. Maybe we're the ones in the wrong and these lads are forward thinkers? That's the one.

I'm not prepared to make such a decision on the basis of Keegan walking out of a job, the same way as I didn't want John Hall out the last time he walked out of the club. Did you want the board out last time he walked?

Some people can't just cancel everything at such short notice, I was at work while the meeting took place and was unable to make alternative arrangements at such short notice.

Yes you are missing a trick, I've seen your posts on your forum, post 101 in "Press Release & radio Newcastle interview 4.10 today, Newcastle United Supporters Club." If you've got anything to say about what people say on here then say it here where those you talk about can see it.

Maybe Beardsley doesn't understand why Keegan walked out of the club again, why should he says he does if he doesnt? Surely he's better off saying what he thinks rather than what you want him to say.

His just a bairn?

GM, he's from Shields.

I can't see any point on going along to give input, 250 people have already decided that Ashley should go without knowing all of the facts. This lot are more dangerous because at least very few take the idiots who turn up for the Sky cameras seriously. It appears that 250 people have decided that Ashley should go and every person who signs up adds more weight to that, regardless of right or wrong.

What a crock of s***, all opinions are uniform everywhere bar this website? Talking through your arse. What opinion anyway? Are you referring to opinon on the DoF system, Ashley's expenditure in the summer, the lies about the finances, the undermining of Keegan, or Keegan's leaking to the media, the timing of his departure, or the subsequent response of the fans? Which one peasepud? Simple people like compartments to put things in, reality isnt like that. You don't have to go beyond the first line to see what they are about, regardless of who is right or wrong they want Ashley out.

Some fans blame Keegan, some fans blame Ashley while others haven't got a clue who to blame so sit on the fence, I'm one of those sitting on the fence. What I'm 100% convinced of is that they are all to blame to some degree, the only doubt for me is who is responsible for what and how much blame is deserved by whom.

It looks like this has been ignored, it's a bit rich that people who are trying to represent the fans are acting the way they are because not everybody shares the views which they have.

We don't know that, we don't even know if Keegan is claiming constructive dismissal.

It depends on the circumstances and none of us know what they are.

I thought he resigned?

I suppose only those who thinks that the sun shines out of Keegans arse and that he can never do anything wrong could have been around when he was here as a player or manager for the first time, aye right.

I know which of the two you are.

Twat.

So have we as fans aimed at the wrong person in all of this and by doing so taken the heat off those responsible? I think we have.
