I don't think the press got it very wrong at all. Many of us have got too far into the whole "Fuck the press" / "The press know nothing" thing, and while I admit they do write a lot of rubbish I think there's often some truth behind a lot of what's written as well, especially today.

It's not so much the looking for players. It is him being involved in pursuading them to come here. There is no one better qualified to do that than Kev, he should be involved in that process. Based on what? You've obviously never been in a room with Keegan and listened to him speak. Modric has, and still wasn't convinced. Says who? Keegan isn't in charge of recruitment, that's the whole point. He was probably in a room with Wise and co, whose soulless witterings did nothing to persuade him north and he ended up at Tottenham instead.

I'm sorry, but how THE FUCK can you (Or indeed any of the others on here who've posted similar crap) possibly say that? Perhaps at lunchtime Keegan was adamant about walking out? Perhaps he had walked out? Perhaps the club had no fucking idea whatsoever where he was or whether he would still be our manager? Perhaps they released a statement the very moment they could, in fact, reading the statement they STILL don't have a clue if he's staying as manager, but perhaps (And this is the last time I'll use the word "perhaps" ) the club released the statement so that the fans had some news rather than going to bed with none and in an effort to calm the situation slightly and stop Sports Direct stores getting firebombed overnight, but we'll not find out the full story until tomorrow.

massive scam it was. I won 50 quid myself! £250 here.

Note: Not "will continue to play an instrumental role". These things are always very carefully worded, nothing is in there by chance. I'd wager that we'll find out he walked today, either soon or in years to come.

Did Keegan leave? They dont say hes still the manager do they? Yeah, I noticed that too. Reading between the lines it sounds like he's walked and they're trying to get him back.

Yeah, because obviously nothing at all happened today or yesterday that could possibly have let them think that he'd gone. They were just SOOOO out of order, making all this fuss over nothing. All they've done is report it as they've seen it, and they've probably not been that far from the truth.

FUCKING GET THE FUCK IN! Not only because he's staying, which is of course great news for us and the club, but because when the betfair odds were 1.08 I stuck £20 on him staying and should now net £250 as long as another manager leaves before he does!

All this "Ashley out" stuff is getting a bit tiring. People have no idea what's happened and yet they're taking sides and threatening to boycott matches etc. It's surreal. Maybe Llambias fired Keegan and now Ashley is trying to get him back? Just a thought, and as likely as other explanation given the delay in making an announcement.

If you really were sorry about them, why type "Sorry about the caps" rather than delete what you've written and write it out properly? Anyway, ignoring that I still can't make any sense of what you've wrote.

He was at the game last week. He played over 1000 games for Arsenal, so that's hardly surprising.

David O'Fucking Leary touted for the job? Is he having a laugh? Touted by who exactly? The only person who would tout O'Leary for the job is his own mother.

again? Was Setanta before.

Maybe that's the plan?

There's no pulling the wool over my eyes!

Maybe they're not issuing a statement because nothing is decided yet? Obviously something's going on, but until that's resolved they can't comment. After all, if Keegan stays (Unlikely, but I'm praying) then they need to show a united front and make whatever's happened seem as insignificant as possible. A statement now could destroy that possibility.

The longer the delay, the more I think he might stay. If he was gone and it was final, they'd announce it. Maybe he'll still go, but I get the feeling it's not decided quite yet.

english please? Probably told them that either Wise goes, or he does.

If true, it's an absolute fucking disgrace.

Fuck this, time for lunch. Been sat pressing F5 on here and NUFC.com for about 36 hours now. I'm knackered.

That's pretty much my thinking on the matter. Well it is when I put my optimistic head on. I'll not type out my pessimistic thoughts!

Erm, he owns the club. Aye but I wouldn't like turning up for work being peleted with eggs and half eaten steak bakes each morning He's a big lad, he'll probably not mind the steak bakes.

If he was sacked it would be even more ridiculous. Ashley wouldn't win himself many popularity awards if that were to happen to say the least.

Erm, he owns the club.

I feel physically sick. Still hope it's not true.
