  1. Maybe the goalposts have changed, today is the first I've heard of Keegan reporting to wise.
  2. Let's see how Liverpool or Arsenal cope once Man City gets into the top 4 which I'm sure they will do within the next couple of years.
  3. Where did I say that we didn't back Keegan over that period?
  4. I wasn't slagging him off but he's not faultless.
  5. Keegan was told that he had the final say.
  6. You do know that Keegan resigned, don't you?
  7. My mistake, Ashley is the worstest by far.
  8. Ashley is getting a lot of stick from some fans although nobody knows what part he's played in all of this, if any. Keegan has done what he's done in the past, he's walked away from a manager’s job when things haven't gone his way. I'll reserve judgement before deciding who has come out of it the worst.
  9. You edited it while I was replying with the smiley, I could only read the first two or three lines.
  10. I would rather Keegan had remained as manager but if anybody comes out of this looking like a clown then so far it's him for spitting his dummy out again, as usual he acts like a little kid in a playground. I must admit that I question just how much the club means to him when he can just walk away from it, something you often have a go at fans for doing. I think Keegan should have had a final say on transfers and it looks like the players he wanted to bring in were given less priority than the ones others wanted to bring in and that is wrong but the players who have come to the club during the transfer window and played look as if they will improve us. It was a good idea to increase the capacity, it was something which had to be done at the time but it didn't cost £100 million no matter how many times you try to make it appear that it did. Most, if not all of the top clubs do carry debt, a lot of clubs are struggling with debt and that will become worse over the next year or two. I expect a few people at Liverpool and Arsenal are a bit more worried about debt since Man City were taken over meaning that one of those clubs is very unlikely to be playing CL football every season.
  11. Only a deluded fool would try to make it look like a £44 million stadium expansion was responsible for over £100 millions worth of debt but carry on. I also like how you try to make a profit for Ashley look bad yet you were quite happy for the last lot to walk away with heavy pockets.

    How do you know that he lied? Not spending doesn't mean it wasn't available, the problem seems to be who was allowed to spend it.

    The second if it didn't lead to the first.
  14. Pity Ashley didn't have the £100 million he had to pay off the debt, I wonder what Keegan would have been able to do with half that?

    I didn't say that we should be about making money, I said it would be a plus if we've improved while making money. I'm surprised anybody would really argue against that. I didn't say that making money should have been a priority.
  16. That remends me of something, I might look for it and upload it somewhere.
  17. Friday night, pissed kids, it's possible.
  18. I wonder why he didn't throw a "wobbler" after being pissed on by Villa last season, I'd say that was worse then losing to Chelsea or Arsenal. What about 1-5 at home to Man U or 3-0 away to Liverpool, Everton away wasn't any better.

    The second point should be seen as a plus if we've improved our squad while making money, I'm not convinced that we'll know now though. I hope that I'm wrong but I think the last week will cost us this season, only time will tell but it's got to have a negative effect on the players and club.
  20. Even if somebody is coming over I think it's a week or two too early. If Ashley bought the club for fun then I think the fun will have gone after the Hull game, he might not realise that yet.
  21. Keegan agreed to a structure which gave him the final say on transfers, if that changed then constructive dismissal would be possible.
