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. some people are just fucking stupid.

eh!? total opposite actually. the new board very rarely respond to speculation. Whereas im guessing if the manager of the club had left, they would surely announce it.

im starting to calm down. i think if he had of walked we would have heard something. Obviously some sort of meeting instead, lets hope they all come out smiling.

No it isn't i could see wise going in as temp manager tbh

Do you think? I'm not sure it'll be untenable. In fact, I don't think it changes his position at all. Granted, he'll be Mr Unpopular and he'll take plenty of stick but if he replaces KK with someone of an appropriate stature (big if, obviously) people would quickly learn to live with the decision. Fickle game. I think, more fundamentally, the inability of the club invest in proven quality or sign enough players to make our squad strong enough to field a very very good eleven throughout the season is as much of a concern. Keegan means more to the fans than that. Much more. agreed.

wise will take over on a temp basis if this is true. The next home game will be intersting. (if true)

im not accepting that. not at all. Thats not good enough. Ive supported Ashley all along, but i would lose all faith if this is true.

looks like its done. i think im going to throw up.

Darsley park??

werent the pics of him from his depo days? or do they have pics with him from when he has signed with us/ also, is there no training today with the non internationals.

no one, Keegan isnt going anywhere!!!! ............

im not allowing myself to believe this. Imagine the hay day every other set of fans, journo's etc would have. We would be the self appointed laughing stock and im f*cking sick of it.

6 players in, some shite out. Not as many as we wanted but we are stronger than last season and kk got us playing some good stuff last year. This is our squad now, this is what we have to work with and support. We'll add to the squad in future windows and kk will get rid of anyone who isnt good enough and who he doesnt think is up to the job. The shitty window is gone, lets crack on with the season and have a hell of a ride! Im looking forward to it! Howay the lads!

by who?

Money talks. surely Chelski can offer what Man city can in wages?! doesnt sound like its about money with him.

how come? isnt he a Northern boy?

kk is too old and past his best. I dont think he's what we need at the moment tbh.

good point.

If that's the case, I'd probably be starting him.

wouldnt have thought so. He has said previosuly he's not interested in Owen. I cant see him changing his mind now, contract running out or not. I just dont think he wants him./

Totally agree, this is a baffling one for me, i just can't work it out for either valencia or ourselves. Have you not read this thread like? It's very simple. The guy was part owned by Danubio and Valencia. Valencia are in financial s***. They decided to buy the other half of him in order to send him out on loan, so that when he returns he may command a fee, as they need the money. We have decided to be the side that loan's him out as he ticks alot of the boxes. In order to protect their investment they have made him sign a four year deal, before going out on loan. Next year if he impresses, Valencia can get a healthy figure and we may be able to get a good player that we have had a chance to look at. No i f***ing haven't read the thread, i'm hardly likely to go through 12 pages of the usual s***, just looked at the last page. It's still a very very strange deal, no matter how you try to explain it. Hardly the news i was expecting to be greeted with, when i woke up, lets hope the day gets a little better. dont think its strange at all tbh. i cant see what it strange about it?

same here lets wait until the day is over eh lads?!

im not normally i one to be over confident, but i have no worries about playing this lot at home.

I'd be very suprised if he is not. Who offers a player 120k a week and sells him the next day? As well as that KK was asked directly about Owen to which he replied "Arsenal will not be Owens last game for us". However, things do change. Unless we made the offer ages ago, and only yesterday found out he has no intention of signing it - so announced the offer to let the fans know it's him who wants to go if he does. That makes worrying sense. Very similar to the Milner situation. maybe they just announced it to end all specualtion of being sold. Really though, we are just speculating. I guess we'll have a better idea at the end of today. Im confident he'll sign, be gutted if he left.
