Shearergol Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Btw I've noticed a few moans and groans from the likes of Gol who I assume wasn't around Newcastle when KK was first managing here, get yourself to Tyneside and you'll soon change your tunes. Seriously. Just look at the scenes outside SJP. What's that got to do with anything? Keegan playing for Newcastle was what made me first love the club (I'm from Scunthorpe by the way). and I supported them long before you started. Don't try to play the soopafan card on me. He's a great PR marketing tool, but this appointment is based on trying to give the fans what they want. In an interview a couple of months back he says he's not watched a live game of football since his last match at Man City. What exactly was on his CV which made him a better man for the job than all of the other choices? (oh yeah, he'll make loads of Geordie soopafans happy). Freddie was right with the whole Geordie Nation, and you're proving it. By the way, backing him 100%, but they need some continuity plans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Monkey Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Turnbull - "Keegan has had his time and failed" - WTF!!!!!!? Trying not to get too emotionally involved, if you assess the club at his time as appointment as manager, and the date when he left, I'm sure you will appreciate your own comment is a little bit ridiculous. He failed at a number of jobs, based on effectively cracking and walking away. Its just the way things are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC - PLC (Cant blame him) Team was class.

garth Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm shocked to see so many on this forum supporting this move. I honestly expected this opposite. To me, the return of Keegan reinforces the outside perception that this club is currently shackled by sentiment and delusion - that only those with an 'understanding' and 'feel' for the Geordie Nation need apply, as the despicable Alan Oliver often reminds us. Keegan had his time and failed. He rode the crest of wave then came crashing back down, unable to deal with the pressure. He was soon found wanting (tactically) at international level. But I naturally wish him well and hope that he does turn us around. I have to agree with you, I thought Mort and Ashley would have more sense.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 this whole success malarky. I think a general point that can be made is that we've appointed a man whos success includes 2 2nd places in the Premier League. When we could have approached a World Cup winner and a FA Cup, League Cup, UEFA Cup, Supercup, Community Shield winner to name but 2 people (Lippi and Houllier) and also van Gaals long list of success, I can't help but feel a little let down.
