He might be right, but if we had had a manager Diarra might well have joined us anyway.

Not sure, I would think KK would be likely to hang on to Martins as he provides pace and a direct threat... and no reason to let Owen go really as he's just getting some games under his belt and might be useful again soon. No need to choose between the two... keep them both, maybe even play them both.

Particularly badly-timed suggestion since both Zoggy and Duff are looking better than ever at the moment. To get rid of either to make room for Milner would be a bad move IMO. The bigger question is who we are going to bring in to provide an equal threat on the right?

Can we tighten the new thread rules again?

I really don't get this 'expectations' stuff... what do we expect? Only to be positive and committed... nothing else IMO.

I think you're right HTT, they basically resent the fact that we think of ourselves as 'different' or 'special'. Worse still, we might have a point.

I went to training years ago at Maiden Castle and was late catching Kev to get him to sign my shirt. Even though he was already in the car he got back out and signed it for me, true gent!

What is this, fucking Heat magazine?

I've never watched a 15 minute press conference all the way through, but with Kev I couldn't turn it off. The guy is a genius the way he inspires people, the last couple of minutes especially amazing. Can't wait to see how this all works out.

I'm off down the 'dockside' for a pint now! I honestly don't care about this stuff though, nobody else understands what it's like

You're over-thinking it. He needs to be shot. That's all. That was the answer I had in mind

Is the video serious though, or has Olly just got an amazing sense of post-modern irony and comedic genius?

Loving the random USE of capitals! Doubt the lads would use any words like "astute" though

Exactly, at least we won't be shrugging our shoulders anymore, apathy was in real danger of setting in with a succession of underwhelming appointments. Redknapp or Hughes would have just been a continuation of that.

I think from what we heard from Shearer he respects KK and would not pose a threat to him as number two. Based on that I would love him to come in...

I want to be cynical, but the mood at the moment means I agree with this!

Yep Tears and other bodily fluids...

Well fasten your setabelt for the next KK era then!

Aye, gettinthere!!!!

Woop!

Fuck it, we're a mental club at the best of times... now at least we have somone who understands and loves us!

Hmm, head says it may not be the best option, does he know any players etc now? But can't help but be excited!!!! Really hope we get Shearer in as assistant... if we're going to be the laughing stock of the league we may as well do it properly! Pleased...

So true, shame no journos are mentioning that in these articles.

It's alright, he doesn't.

To be honest I'm warming to the idea of the Shearer/Keegan thing, we may as well give it a go if we can get Kev out of retirement. I think we all want something we can get behind and feel positive about. Also, it will get the Shearer era out of our system so he won't be casting a shadow over every manager we appoint.
