It really hasn't.

You've gone too far this time

It should have been like that in the 1st place, there is no real reason why it didn't happen in the summer bar the board being tight. True, but 'tight' for the right reasons - getting the club in a stable footing and spending within our means. Ashley will be a good chairman, but I doubt he'll even sink 100s of millions of his own money into signings. I honestly don't blame him for that.

Agreed, release the protesters!

I actually think we're lucky to have both Keegan and Ashley. If we come out of this with Ashley's long-term plan intact, sprinkled with a big of Keegan big spending in future, that would seem to be the perfect result. Considering how fucked we could have been by now, I'm cautiously optomistic.

Keep dreaming Dave man, that'll never happen :-[ Oh wait, it's true!

I agree. It's just a shame that they were 75% charvers. I agree as well, I just hope that we don't all turn against Ashley, as I still think he has the best interests of the club at heart and is doing the right things.

I really believe the 'discussions' aren't about Keegan's future now, I believe he is staying. NUFC and the LMA would never has made their respective statements if they thought there was any chance he would end up leaving. I just hope they're ironing out the best way to go forward.

I'm an optomist, but I never thought this would end as well as it (possibly!) is. When I see KK speak I'll finally be able to relax again. Come on!

I agree, the new system is better and will be in the long-term interests of the club. The problem is if Keegan just refuses to accept it. If that's the case then he will have to be the one to go, as much as I love him it is better that he be sacrificed than for the club to return to the insability and panic-buying of the past. I've said I think the way to resolve this is to tweak the system so that Keegan has a greater say, without removing team Wise. I don't see any reason why KK can't tag along on their scouting trips and have a good amount of input.

Fuck of dwarf is a bit more catchy! Anyway before people jump to conclusions just yet lets see what happens It may not be wise that's at the root of this, it's the MD's responsibility to buy and sell players after all See how easy it can happen? What me misspelling off? Aye, before you know it you're carrying a misspelled banner to the game and looking like a mong on SSN.

I just hope there's not a load of idiots protesting against the board or anything stupid like that. The last thing we need on the TV is 'Ashley Owt' banners and shit like that.

Can we please not make any more banners? Especially not ones that make us look like cretins and are based on rumour we now absolutely nowt about?

There's no cause for a boycott at all, or to do anything to hurt Ashley financially. Keegan and Ashley have both done good jobs so far, support them both.

I don't see why Dennis Wise should go, what has he done wrong in all of this?

You do actually, a lot of clubs have changed managers often. It just seems bad when it's us...

Aye, that's true, got to give them their dues for that. The end justifies the means.

The fact that there seems to have been two days of meetings with not much coming out makes me hope that things are really being sorted out. Hopefully KK is older and wiser now, and Ashley is a good enough businessman to know when he needs to compromise to keep a star man in his organisation. Conflict is normal in big business like this, it's how you work it through that decides if you'll be a success. If someone walks out, it's impossible to work it through. Unarguable - but even so, Keegan might be forgiven a hissy fit and a walk-out if he later calms down and comes back to talk. Nobody is perfect.

Agree with all of this So neither of you remember the sacking of Sir Bobby and replacing him with Souness? Or how about replacing him with Glen Roeder? Short memories. I know a mental day like this polarises opinion, but if anyone really thinks Ashley is worse than Shepherd they need to check themselves. Who brought back KK in the first place, who got rid of Allardyce? We could well be in the Championship right now if Ashley and then Keegan hadn't come in, they both deserve credit.

I think that could well happen, and if it does I would have a much higher opinion of both Keegan and Ashley. It would be refreshing to see a disagreement in football not leading to toys raining down out of prams and someone getting the boot.

Keegan is an amazing guy, and yes he might convince some players, but for young foreigners who aren't so familiar with him we still need a proper recruitment and scouting team.

My god, I'm sticking up for Alan Oliver today, the world has officially gone mental.

Me too, I've been saying I would drift away from hardcore support but when it comes down to it I couldn't click anything other than 'Yes'.
