I keep hearing on the radio/tv that a director of football can work on the continent, but never in England. No one seems to mention the reasoning behind that, but rather spew that phrase out like a stale and rotting cliche. Im not saying it can or cannot work. But anyone care to explain the reasoning behind it working on the continent but not in the premier league?

Tell her I said Hi

This is the bunch of cronies who negotiatied the £12m fee for Milner yes? What a bunch of wasters... Yes but these wasters replaced Milner (one of our hardest-working players) with what? Our club might be 12m richer but our squad is seriously depleted. BTW I would have taken 10m for Milner IF we had a decent replacement lined up. We did bring in 6 players this summer as well as selling, including IMO the most important, a striker who can play when Viduka has his feet up. I would agree though, that the squad is still not strong enough - even if it might turn out to be better than some are giving it credit for. That's correct. It's easy to forget that we've managed to get rid of some serious dross with our outgoing transfers (Ramage, Baba, Carr, Emre, Roz), who have been replaced with players who - so far- look like actual footballers. Jonas Guthrie Coloccini Bassong Xisco Nacho IYAM the outlay has been reasonable, and the fee we got for Milner was way too good to turn down. Our summer business could have been better, but was not all that bad by any stretch. What we need now is for the entire squad of players to pull together, rally around Keegan, the fans and the club, and play for the shirt. Any shortage in playing staff at any point or another can be covered by the one or two youngsters who are closest to being ready for the first team. This IMO is also a good thing, as its pointless to have these young players around the place, without having the opportunity to test them in the big time once in a while. Do people forget who Man U had to rely on in our opening game to cover for their injuries? Campbell, Possebon, Rafael? We're not in as bad a position as some will have you believe.

hmmmm....i don't see it that way i think how this Keegan situation is resolved will tell us a lot about Mike Ashley. If he shows that he is learning from his mistakes, and willing to rectify them - and let's face it, we all knew he was never a football man - then it's a great sign, and it counts as a positive thing. If however he does not learn from mistakes, and does not take steps to correct his position (as one Freddy Shepherd miserably failed to do), then he will also be deemed unfit to run this club. the events of the next few days will tell us a lot about Mike Ashley. A lot more than this entire past year has told us.

the bigger joke? fans actually believing this drivel

good. i'll have the DD NM.

i've been told i come across as a horrible little twat as well. but i guarantee you, once you get to know me, you'll see i'm just a regular nice guy

top post!! i'm with you mate! quit sobbing you softshites and look ahead. no man should get more than what they deserve. not keegan, not shearer, not ashley, not SJH, no one. This is a football club, and everything that goes on is just part of its history.

Bollocks! I hate the little cockney t***, and it shows a total lack of understanding of NUFC and football in general that Ashley appointed him in the first place. sorry like, but that's as stupid a post as they come

twats the lot of them a fucking embarrassment

looking rather slimline i may add

that's just sad and pathetic when you consider that no one has a clue about what's really going on. chin up mate, we'll find out soon enough, and that's when you can gan round wishing death on whomever you please

think it's time for you to really get out the house man

still unconfirmed... i know im being a right cock, but lock please

Why would people at northern rock know? my mates dads brothers dog barked twice just now which means he's 100% gone. or trapped down a well.

Because despite what people with their heads in the sand may think, going by bids we've made and players who've turned us down, we had the money available, and he didn't attract anyone of note with it. What are you on about you fuckwit!? Keegan hasn't had any involvement with transfers. That's one of the major problems with this setup. I know emotions are running wild this morning, but can we all still keep the insults at bay please? Ta. some of the mods would do well to heed your advice

What the f*** for? people saying they are not going back to SJP while ashley and Wise are still there, Everyone seems to have got it in there heads Wise is the new manager for some reason blame shearergol

don't hold your breath mate. the little hitler mods on this forum are just as bad as the press they claim they hate

i thought you said you knew "he was 100% gone and wise was the new manager?"

Spot on there pal! You have to ask the big question at this stage though, which is would Wise work with Terry Mac? No. I don't think he would. But for one thing, at least a silver lining in appointing Wise would hopefully see the end of Terry fucking Mac at this club at long last.

i love the little hitler mods on here

english please?

good. bye bye
