It even says 'BBC Radio 5 Live understands', distancing them from the story even more. The reports are mounting up, but still not a single confirmed source, quote or announcement.

Think yourself lucky

picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue... I picked the right day to start doing coke.

Exactly. I was all for the media blackout when it came to transfers, but keeping the fans guessing on the employment state of a manager we all love like this is just ridiculous. Eh? I agree if Keegan goes, and it turns out to be Ashley's fault and not KK's own hot-headedness, then we will have recent to criticise. But if there's nothing in it then what has Ashley done wrong? If there's nothing to announce he won't make an announcement.

Based on what?

I've got it up, there's nothing new on there.

Can we stop suggesting names? He hasn't gone yet for fuck's sake...

That's all anyone has, yet we're swallowing it whole.

Nobody knows, but everyone is going mental.

Spidey sense is tingling!

But didn't you just assume all of that?

Depends on what you mean by poor, and what you consider the club's job is. Every time there's been something official to say, they've said it through the official channels, and not before. Iwouldn't expect them to issue a statment about every bit of speculation. If nothing is decided they're harldy going to announce 'we're just mulling over whether to sack Kevin at the moment, we'll kep you posted'!

I'm actually getting a bit more confident now. The longer this goes on, and the more I think about it, it just seems illogical and unlikely that KK will leave. On the other hand the press speculation is exactly the sort of thing they have previous for. Not saying it couldn't happen, but I'm starting to calm down a bit now.

To sack your manager one day after the transfer window without him doing anything wrong beats anything i've seen earlier. Ironicly it proves that all the Keegan Ashley fallout news were true Which makes us all look like idiots Which gives us the highest honour..we my friend..are a joke, and its not even a funny one. You forgot to say 'if this is true'.

You forgot to say 'if this is true'.

What about?

If this isn't true, will the club make any announcement at all? Or will Keegan just turn up with the squad for the Hull game as normal? Hope they say something, can't write off a whole week at work!

Setanta and Sky are both jumping the gun in the hope they'll get to announce it first. Nothing has been confirmed.

I'd have taken 3 points from those 3 games easy, the BBC really should know when to watch themselves.

Well true, but if he was sacked yesterday we would know about it already.

can you burn plastic on concrete? Now we know why they moved to the smart cards, unburnable and cause less damage when thrown onto the pitch live on Sky Sports.

I wish more people would understand this. The amount of reporting of 'rumours' that the press themselves have started is unreal.

I would wait until we know what's happening, you might need it!
