Stephen Carr, Stephen Carr, Stephen Stephen Carr, If he comes back now he'll need a Bra Stephen Stephen Carr.

Why not start him? He's been our best CM this season by miles (not that it's saying much). Flimsy reason really, neither him nor Geremi can last 90 mins but i would reckon Guthrie would be better coming on and running around for 30 mins like a maniac protecting our (optimistic) lead. We won't have a lead with Geremi and Butt as the engine room.

Dutty can have 6+9 15? Why would he want that?

Stop talking absolute bollocks like Colo's Short and Curlies said it's not a criminal case both parties could end it. If you show me some evidence I'll believe you but you can't because you're talking shite so stop going on about it, you're making yourself look like an idiot.

I hope we try and nick Zaki off Wigan.

thats the point, we dont know what the talks were about (well publicised are you kidding Edd!), what we do know are the clear contradictions in Ashleys employment terms towards Keegan, the rest is pure speculation. So, assuming Keegan was happy to work within the clubs structure, are you saying he still couldn't have come back for legal reasons? It looks like the terms offered were unreasonable to Keegan and were not to the terms of his employment, thus being a constructive dismissal and so engaging the legal stand-off. His walking has been supported by other managers responses, saying they it would not be acceptable to them including, Curbishley, ONeill, Ferguson, Wenger, Benitez, etc. Well that's lovely to hear, but is completely irrelevant to the question which you've ignored as I suspected you would. You said "he couldnt because of the legal implications, even if he wanted to." and I'm saying bullshit. Keegan isn't here because, for whatever reasons, he doesn't want to be. True or false? the question itself is irrelevant and inapplicable because of the legal implications, Keegan and NUFC could not work together because of the legal impasse. How is that so difficult to understand? Do you do divorce stuff as well ? never back down eh, even when owned. There are no bloody legal reasons why Keegan could not take it in the interim get that through your head. The only thing that could stop Keegan taking over is some form of ban for an offence in newcastle much like Joey Barton. I doubt Keegan did that. Any contractual agreement preventing his return could be anulled if agreed by both fucking parties.

If you don't want other people to read it PM him then.

(The anonymous Nigerian consortium fronted by Chris Nathaniel, an agent who handles media rights for Rio Ferdinand and John Terry among others, is not among them despite their claim, refuted by sources with knowledge of the negotiations, to have lodged a £300 million bid last week.) He must be a bit of a knob then really if thats the case as he keeps on saying they have.

Hiddink is a world class manager though, I don't get your point.

It certainly is, I just wish I knew what in the hell is going on, all we no at the moment is some Nigerian consortium which look very dodgy are in for us and another 6 unconfirmed bidders. Hopefully the other 6 don't have to scrape around for money.

So, assuming Keegan was happy to work within the clubs structure, are you saying he still couldn't have come back for legal reasons? Of course there are no legal implications. If you quit a job there's nothing in the law to say you can't come back. Even if there was some sort of contract betweeen the 2 parties it could have been cancelled if both parties agreed.

Once again Bob you've got it spot on. I loved KK and hoped it would work out, but his appointment was Ashley's big mistake. I will now never forgive Keegan for the way he walked out, sure things didn't suit him but he could have been man enough to stay with the team and fans he allegedly loved while a sensible resolution was worked on. It appears that in the days following his walkout Ashley tried everything possible to find a compromise but Keegans only concern was attempting to preserve his pay off. Hence King Kev has said nothing to enlighten those he supposedly loved. Ashley tried everything possible to find a compromise in your mind yes, to the vast majority Ashley didnt compromise rather he refused to limit the mess caused by Derek Llambias (and possibly from Dennis Wise), putting Keegan in a situation most managers would have walked from if you dont know the many supporting facts by now that substantiate this, then your are a deluded idiot. Others are keeping an open mind until they hear the facts which in your case you dont have any facts to back your argument other than: you support Ashley who is walking out and you hate Keegan for walking out. Keegan (nor should Ashley but he tried and failed) cant enlighten anyone because of the legal complications, so why chastise him for that until you know the facts? The question that is still to be answered is why did Keegan leave? Until you post your opinions based on any facts you just end up looking like youre just blindly kissing Ashleys arse. To be fair to Ashley most people would leave if 50000 people wanted them to and threats of physical violence are involved. Even a bloke that looks like Ashley's been attacked. Do you expect him to bring his kids to games and sit in a stadium of 52000 people shouting abuse at him? Keegan maybe should have walked but once Ashley came out and said he was selling he should have come back in the interim at least. If he loved the club as much as people think he wouldn't be able to watch us fall down in this manner. I'm not pro-ashley or anti keegan but our fans and I'm including you in this based on your post have made us look like a bunch of retards who are living in the past.... again I was happy with Ashley, good if only a few signings, the finances where starting to be in order and we had a decent chance of achieving something, he should of sanctioned the deals KK wanted but I've heard many a rumour saying Keegan turned down alot of the picks Jimenez, Vetere and Wise made and we'd have made a much more significant investment had he sanctioned them. Keegan was out of the game for too long and needed the back up on the transfer front, nothing should have went over his head but Vetere (who targets said players) is said to be one of the best scout's in the world. I hope this takeover goes through soon so we can put this mess behind us and hopefully the world will forget the stigma that we have that we are retards but I doubt it as we'll still have the same twats outside SJP talking about things they have no information on, mis-spelling signs and generally talking bollocks. I dont (and did not) want Keegan as the manager, but I will not be a retard and judge Keegan by listening to rumours. I am not judging him, I am just saying if he loved the club he would have come back in the interim.

-----------------------Given Geremi------Taylor--------Colo----Enrique ----------------------Butt --------------Guthrie----N'Zogbia ---------Duff----------Owen ----------------------Xisco Owen will play more centrally with Duff playing as a wing forward swapping flanks probably mainly on the right allowing Zog to attack the left yet playing centrally when we lose the ball.

I'm not convinced of any bid that needs to scrabble together enough funds to buy the club. Sounds like the Icelandic West Ham debacle. I wouldn't compare it to West Ham, they went for 85m we are going for 350-400m. I don't know how rich these people are but unless its a consortium of 50 they must still all be very wealthy if they are giving such an investment and the bonus is there is no way in hell they will ever sell Oba.

who? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Rupert 3.3 Billion is not enough, He'll have hardly any free cash flow after (if) he invests in the club. It's about the same as Ashley when he took over. He is part of the consortium though Ah, bit out of touch atm. I suppose a few of them would be handy 100m here, 100m there it soon mounts up.

Pounds, yes.

f***!!!!, that is bizzare. Bacon sandwiches are the nectar of the gods. Wise move, Joe. Get some pre-match Burgers and Kebabs in as well, never did Le Tissier any harm.

'Described as "reclusive" by the Financial Times of London, Rupert rarely gives interviews and shuns public events.' f*** me, it's groundhog day Nice the Saaaard Afreekaan Ashley.

I just don't know what the f*** is going to happen next with Newcastle. Everyone I've told about Kinnear being boss has reacted with absurd shock and confusion or simply pissed themselves laughing (or both, the first one followed by the second). Joe Kinnear is a statement of how low we have come. I've seen so many bizarre things come true in such a short space of time that I'm half expecting Kinnear to do a good job to continue this bizarre theme. That's what I was thinking as weird as things are, we'll probably end up qualifying for the Champions League or something stupid like that.

Shola will be here forever man just accept it.

I was thinking more Martins but what ever floats your boat.

This game is going to be weird as hell. Neither team has any confidence I can honestly see the game being won by who is slighly less worse. If they won it, it wouldn't make any difference and I doubt it will make much to us if we do. Never felt so indfifferent about a game in my life.

He couldn't outperform Geremi, and that was enough of a reason for him to be moved on. Who are these more technical players he has outperformed anyway? Smith?
