Why have you allowed Libertine's pointless comment lead you down this track again. Keegan is no longer with the club therefore is under no obligation to talk to anyone about what happened bar to satisfy our raging curiosity. Ashley is still the owner of the club and Llambias etc are still in charge of the running of the club and its their total lack of communication with its fanbase that is now causing further problems.

I have said yes purely as I think he would have the ability to at least steady the ship. Maybe being at Man U has given him a grounding of how to cope with massive daily pressure (having bneen part of the Man U side that finally won the league as 25 + years)

Is this really a possibility or are the press just throwing names out there as there is no information coming from the club. I just dont see why Dalglish would a) want to come back and b) come back at this time. Had him as having more sense than that.

It needs to be noted though that if NUFC had acted as quickly as West Ham when Keegan resigned, the events that took place at the Hull match might never have happened (or certainly not to teh scale that they did). If they were so steadfast in their belief that their structure and their system was the way to go, I would have expected them to say "fuck Keegan", lets go and get a manager that can work with the system. For reasons known only to themselves, they didnt.

Howay man. You think we havent got a new manager inyet because everyone at the club has been logged on here all day ? West Ham fans wanted a manager they felt they had faith in. I think Curbishleys days were already numbered because THEIR plebs were already calling for his head.

S'pose it shows the club are trying to get everyone pulling in the same direction :-[ Fucking scandalous if true

O'Neill shouldnt be trusted with funds cos he spent £12m on Milner. better to force out a good manager than let them waste money. He bought Marlon Harewood, he bought Zat Knight, there was even tabloid talk of a bid for our very own Alan Smith. Half this forum would have had the useless fucker sacked off for that. He has that ability, like Keegan, to get performances out of players that most other managers cant

Feel sorry for Villa because Man U are going to hunt O'Neill down as soon as Ferguson calls it a day

Ramos homesick stories in the papers

Spurs seem to be in all sorts of trouble yet again yet they STILL somehow manage to win a cup last year.

That's a good point actually, I'm surprised they didn't offer to do so. They were talking about this on Talksport this morning, Whilst its the ultimate cock up on the part of the officials, they were saying that they havent helped the fact that his refereering career is probably over because the players didnt have the honesty or the integrity to own up and say it wasnt a goal and allow another in the opposite end straight away. Sums up football today for me.

David James - England Goalkeeper. Oh dear

Bloody hell its difficult trying to work out whats going now in these after match interviews with all the different languages/accents.

Its weird thinking about it but if they were intent on sticking to a very tight budget and keeping net spending to a minimum, then Allardyce would and should have been much more their type of manager as he had shown that he can work alongside the smaller club style mentality. Adds a diiferent slant as to why they sacked him and brought Keegan in.

I love how every thread goes off topic like a Billy Connelly joke

Is it me or should we not be empathising with the Spurs fans. Heard some on Talksport and they are just as fucked off with their set up as we are. The whole gang of them (Kelmsley/ Ashley etc) are screwing over both our clubs. One Spurs fan on there reminded me of the night when the story broke that Jol was being given the boot (mid-match) and Levy was sitting in the directors box smirking and grinning away. Fucking scandalous way to treat your manager that. They have their issues with the way their club is run as much as we do.

And you know this for a fact, how? Personally, i'm disappointed by the whole f***ing mess. Gutted at what has happened but would have loved KK to have been the one to help turn this lumbering club around again. He is gone and wont be coming back. Move on. Its for the best. Of course I don't know for a fact. But let's just pretend we worked for a company and the the Branch Manager walked away from the job because of a difference of opinion with the Area Manager. Our Team Leader has to step up and act as Branch Manager, while our customers start kicking off at the company and our morale dips, performance at work suffers as a result and we're in the firing line. Then all of a sudden 3 weeks later the old Branch Manager strolls back into the office one day with a smile on his face, all tanned up, and expects to find things as he left. Would you seriously just welcome him back with open arms? But what if that Branch Manager was liked and respected by all the staff and were seriously pissed off with senior management ? The best analogy I can think of is look at the change in performances when Souness left, and look at the change when Keegan left. I think everyone was massively relieved when Souness went because they hated him. I think the opposite is happening now.

Nah. It will just give the club a chance to waste another fornight and do fuck all about appointing a replacement manager and will probably try to find more ways to wind up the fans into a frenzy

So in comparing us to West Ham, how do you view the comparitive performances of the 2 clubs in appointing a new manager - taking into account the time before the fans demonstrated at the Hull game ?

Aye. Yawn.

The position in itself - I havent got an issue with but i think he made a mistake in actually employing Dennis Wise. He shoudl maybe have looked into the back ground history and thought about how it might havebeen viewed by fans. + allowing to work from London doesnt appear to have been the best decision either. Again, I think I would like to see the structure work too but he appears to have made some fundamental errors in setting it up

I agree mate. Only messing as its late and I'm knackered i just wish he was replaced soon because this argument is rumbling on waaaaaay too long

Go on..... Deschamps, Terim, arguably Zico. Maybe even Houllier would have a stab at the job.... 2 for sure anyway. Dechamps who quit two clubs for disagreements with the board? Zico who won one title out of two with the Turkish Chelsea? Houllier who spent 10s of millions and never came within a million miles of the title? I can play this game aswell. Keegan who finished 2nd with the Chelsea of the mid-90s and walked out of every job he's been in. Your not very good at it. Its meant to be about who replaces Keegan

So if he is at fault which to be honest i can agree with ( he shouldnt of employed keegan in the first place, naiveity, etc,etc), does that mean that it is still right to try and force him out after one mistake - albeit a massive one, which wouldnt of affected the club massively had he follwed up with a good appointment which was perfectly viable? the protests just seemed so disproportionate to the issue in the grand scheme of things. Keegan is replaceable there are better managers out there and there are managers out there who have achieved more than him who would of been interested in the job. and which 'one' was that? humour me..... I appreciate you want me to do your work for you . . . Well, avoided. His one major mistake was appointing Keegan to fit in a system which wouldnt of suited Keegan. What other things that you class as mistakes? I persoanlly value the system over the individual manager due to the situation we found ourselves in with the old system. Appointing Dennis Wise ??

Please dont tell us you believe that I do. It had a deny it if you dare ring to it. The same article mentioned Riise, Dunne and Woodgate which also seemed to ring true...."wheres the residual value in those" But Lampard man... you really think Kevin is so deluded he thought he could pull Lampard away from Champions League football, probably the Champions elect for this season, and even from the clutches of Jose and Inter Milan.
