No,I like him... :violent

or Christian Gross

It's f***ing incredible. I feel like I should be really angry that things have got to this but...I just can't find it in myself! I think the main problem is that the English language doesn't contain the words required to sum up the madness of it all. I hope the players run out to "Hey Joe" next home game, that would be a major silver lining. aye. let's hope it would end at the opening line, rather than go on to ask where he's going with that gun in his hand... way I see it, thank fuck it's not Gerry Francis

Overreactions galore :toke:

I hope he gets a massive reception from the crowd on his first appearance. Definitely underwhelmed, but respect to a man who's never shyed away from a challenge, and who has walked stright into the firing line taking this job. Hey Joe, welcome to the circus.

IMO a club's soul is its very existence. As an example, I will use my Sunday league team. A club essentially started up by a group of friends and pub-amigos 12 years ago. The "club" has since won the league 4 times and is regarded as one of the top teams in Cyprus outside the 4 football league divisions. We get on average 7 or 8 in attendance nearly every week. Had about 23 there to watch the cup final (which we lost). Say these "fans" didn't show up at all, the club would still be there, and fixtures would still be played, until there wasn't enough players to play them, or a "club" to play for. Clearly, professional footbal is different. But if we're talking philosphy wise, a club's soul is its very existence

How do you know he likes attacking football??? his most successful time as a player was when he was managed by Dalglish, someone Shearer thinks the world of, for all you know Shearer could set his teams up and play like KD did, won trophies but not exactly wonderful attacking football!!! Say you what? Do people judge football figures from one-liners printed in the press such as "the dour and pragmatic Dalglish"? Did you not watch Blackburn Rovers play under him? Did Shearer not score 30+ goals in every one of his seasons with Blackburn? Did Shearer and Sutton not have one of the most successful strike partnerships in the PL era? Sure it wasn't "slit your own throat gung go swashbuckling all guns blazing kawabunga" football! But it certainly wasn't boring, and his teams knew how to attack, defend and move the ball around as a unit. Anyways, on topic, I think Shearer WILL make a very good manager one day, but he should only manage NUFC when he decides he's ready.

Yup! Was even thinking 2 days ago of starting a thread about how the only way is up from rock bottom etc.... Guess we're not even half way down yet

Would both sides of the argument accept that there's no right or wrong when it comes to this argument? I think this also applies to the Shepherd vs. Ashley argument as well, whereby 2 men in charge of the club at different times displayed some positives to benefit the club as well as certain levels of ineptitude which have damaged it. It's all grey areas, and we can debate till we're all blue in the face. Would be nice to leave out the personal sniping if so.

went to bed early after the makeover SP60'sH?

exactly! whoever has written/decreed the above trying desperately to pretend there is no agenda except supporting Newcastle United, the football club. could have fooled me

Points 1 - 5 The rest is absolute cretinous drivel, and the reason why many will not want to be part of this so-called "fan's voice" charade

May bring him into some other role at the club and appoint a different manager Director of Football ftw pardon my ignorance, but what does ftw stand for? For the win i always thought so, but never really clocked on. guess i'm a bit thick ftw? I only got IYAM - If you ask me last week eeek looks like i'm not the only thick one around here IYAM

That sounds far more plausible than a lot of the other theories we've heard. If this does turn out to be true, and KK's walkout leads to us being taken over by a wealthy individual/group who inject money and lead us to sustainable long term success, the 3rd coming could yet turn out to represent the most enduring part of Keegan's toon legacy. Tell you what, if this turns out to be true, I'll even change my tune about Keegan, and will ultimately agree with you (and HTT) 100%. Having said that, why do you think it's the most plausible explanation?

and new fans
