It could be argued that Keegan was ahead of his time in not wanting to play reserve games at St James'. Chris McMennemy said he scrapped the reserves because we were new to the Premiership and didn't have the players needed to run the reserves.

Try to skirt around it and change the subject, it'll be much easier and less painful in the end.

I'd guess being Olivers shrink would be more interesting.

Better than normal though, he reminds me of http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/4804/skullcrossbones05pc5.th.jpg

I'm not sure what Niall or Biffa do but .com is my guess regarding the telephone mender.

Nobody has voted for David Moyes yet, so vote for him instead of Mourinho and we'll all know who you really meant. David Moyes = Jose Mourinho.

I'd hate to see Keegan fail after doing such a good job first time around but he loves the club and I'm sure this club does something to him that no other does. I'd rather go with Keegan than most of the names being mentioned because the whole ground would be lifting again to Keegan Wonderland and that could just be the spark that gets the players playing anything like potential. I'd rather Keegan than Shearer, any day of the week.

Welcome to having to earn a living.

Keegan has just been on Sky and said Newcastle was a club he loved and that he wouldn't rule himself in or out, if we go for him we'll get him if he's offered enough transfer money.

I bet that came as a shock.

Correct.

He probably was right keeping him out of some games but like you say not against the shit and certainly not at home.

I don't think Enrique looks poor, like the others he's had his moments but needs games.

That's some put down.

I seem to remember him saying the same about Southampton, not exact words but I'm sure he turned them down only to change his mind later.

I've no idea what the Glazers will do, they might ask Sir Alex for his opinion.

Sir John is quoted as supporting Shepherd's decision to sack Bobby. That suggests that he didn’t get involved in club decisions at that time, Shepherd has never challenged that either. Would he get involved with hiring but not firing?

I sat amongst them in '99, they were shocking fans. I don't think I've ever heard a set of fans moan so much about a referee, they wanted every 50/50 to be given as a free-kick, it was horrible.

I doubt Hughes will come here, Man U will be his next job after Blackburn, nothing is certain but it looks likely.

You've just bumped it.

In your post above you mention about his history of being involved in these sort of confrontations (Bellamy v Souness) and in this one you say nobody told him to sell Bellamy and Robert. Can you see a connection between the two things you've mentioned and maybe that he was brought in to get rid of them? After all, Sir Bobby was sacked for the way the players were going on and Souness had a history of falling out with players and getting rid of them.

I'm a bit surprised this hasn't been added yet. http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/3243/bruce468x679iy1.th.jpg Edit, just seen the flag which is a better idea.

Its media talk based on Mort taking out the bit which was attributed to him saying that the manager must be British, or words to that effect.

The list of names is paper talk, I'm not sure about the reality if us looking at Europe now though, I just hope that we are.

I doubt the new owner would be daft enough to appoint him, he's shit.
