except that Man U appointed Alex Ferguson in the November, and Arsenal appointed Wenger in September 1996. Bad timing ? Although Man United then gave Ferguson 3 years to win them something, and 6 to win the league. A whole 3 years? Now that's patience! 3 years = 7 managers tbh

Fuck!!!!, that is bizzare. Bacon sandwiches are the nectar of the gods. Wise move, Joe.

I think Taylor has all the tools, but so did Bramble. He needs a rest.

We've also lost about 6 players through injury tbh Factamundo

It is a fact that we looked OK when Keegan was here. It is a fact we now look shit.

I'm a bit late in here - who is going to suck my cock?

I think less well off tbh - at least before we had hope..

No, it tells us he's a drama queen, nothing else. Maybe he is, it's irrelevant as far as I'm concerned

he'll definitely leave us in the shit again, so no thanks "messiah", stick to golf. The fact he has quit, rather than been sacked all those times tells us he is a good manager, if nothing else. When he threatened to walk all those years ago it strengthened his position and went on to even greater things here. Had Ashley not called his bluff he would be here in a much stronger position and the club would be all the better for it. I'd much rather he was still here, but the Kevin Keegan I look up to so much wont do things by halves. That's the Keegan rollercoaster and the few months we have had riding it have been the most enjoyable following the club for me since Robson. Call me sentimental, backward thinking, whatever you like, the fact is he is a good manager, he fits this club like a glove and there is NOONE better to run it than him. He will walk if he is not backed and supported, so back him and support him ffs.

As we still don't have any idea of the full circumstances behind his departure, I am unsure if there is anything to forgive him for, but voting 'no' sounds like I will never forgive him. Another option needed on your poll.

Name One Better? Owen, Zog

Bring back Keegan

I would buy a cool jacket, spats and driving gloves.

If thats true then we all know why these billionnaires are snapping up footie clubs. These billionaires would make 400m in a month, week, maybe even in a day with their investment funds and what have you. I think most of the billionaires are after something other than cash (fun, kudos, adulation, recognition, who knows?)

Well maybe on both counts. But if you look at the Villa squad, I don't think it's better than ours. O'Neill just has the ability to get an extra 10% out of all his players. The sign of a good manager is someone who can overachieve on the resources that are available to him. I don't think Keegan has ever shown that. When it comes to over-selling himself, he's up there with the best though. When has Keegan ever over-sold himself like? Our performance at Man U was the utter antithesis of what you said, inferior players outplaying superior opposition. You seem to imply that he only does well with resources available - his first game as manager against Bristol City 3-0 just completely shatters that argument, players who looked utterly piss poor and heading for the old third division suddenly believed in themselves and Newcastle United, and they continued playing for their manager as he dragged us out of the shit that season. What happened next wasn't bought, it was built on the enthusiasm, drive and belief of the best manager we have ever had. As has been said before, none of us know what actually happened, yet people still choose to believe that Keegan has 'flounced off' and dropped us in it. I believe he loves this club, I believe he knows what is best for the club more than anyone and I would give anything to have him back.

I agree with everything Scott Parker's 60's Haircut's said so far, he seems to have a good understanding on the whole concept, and speaks a great deal of sense.

It's nice to know he knows it is something he has to cut out. It totally eliminates any chance of an offside when he does that as well.

I would take him at the moment. Bruce or Dalglish??

I was comparing him to Curbishley there like. Ah, OK. Would agree O'Leary over Curbishley, but what a choice to have to make

Eh? He has done better with big money, but actually he hasn't as he has done just as well with little money?

Ashley may not get his price and we might not be sold. We could end up with an owner who is only thinking about selling, a board who know their time is up and a manager who knows he is a stop-gap appointment only. Not exactly an ideal recipe for success. If this continues for any length of time, we are going down

His 'coming of age' happened before he knacked himself. We are now just waiting for his 'coming of transfer'. Shola however, there's someone who has yet to come of age. I blame god, tbh.
