Guest MarkMag Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I didn't agree with Keegan as manager in the first place. I'm now starting to sympaphise for the task he has with the sh1te players that he had at his disposal. I think if we can get to the summer still intact we have to give him a couple of years to rebuild. He's built this team up once and I firmly believe he could do it again (even if we go down) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 It's quite possible to follow both, ya know. When did you start following the Giants anyway? 1st-and-10 from New England's 20 yard line? Tyree's catch tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I just pray to God that we stay up and Keegan can get his own team in. Then i'll have some faith and confidence in him.

Wish we'd bought more like him, maybe the chairman could've bid for Rooney again? I see. Qualifying for europe more than every club bar 4, and our 3 top 5 highest consecutive league positions for 50 years is something you don't agree with either I take it ? Was that aimed at me? If it was, where did I mention it? Please show me. You are jumping on the current board after allowing them very little time to achieve anything. Why not compare what happens after another 10-12 years? You may have an argument then. What about comparing the 1st year of both regimes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos he's f****** clueless when it comes to picking someone else's. Really? Apart from Martins, what changes do you really think would have improved us (bearing in mind that Martins has only been available for 2 or Keegans games). Barton as well. face it,2 games = 6 points, not to say that we can beat Liverpool, but every single point is as important now. So,"really" is "really".

You ARE aware the previous regime saved the club from bankruptcy, the 3rd division and a failed share issue aren't you ? Thats fact by the way, not something I've made up to "defend" them.

Baggio Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 How long does Keegan get? As long as he needs, I think people have got used to the chopping and changing of manager here over the last few years and seem happy to shout for the managers head because of it far too quickly, he wasn't the ideal choice for me but he'll have my support as long as we make a reasonable improvement on this campaign, most of all I trust him to recognise what we need and to go out and get it in the transfer market. For the nice guy front he puts on he can be ruthless when he needs to be, hopefully we'll see that when he gets shot of the under performers in the Summer.

If KK made the decision and we go down then he has to shoulder some blame. If the current board however denied him and he's covering for them - or pulling the wool over his eyes - it will become obvious, and if the current board are going to run the club without attempting to capitalise on the fanbase ie the clown of a chairman saying of loads of johnny averages to be "good business" then so far as I am concerned they can fuck off back to where they came from.

You've got a lot to offer when it comes to appraisal of players and management, why don't you do that more? I would enjoy reading your synopsis of one of our games instead of your views on the old board. We all know them. But when you say Martins hasn't got the 'dead eye' i listen. If you think Owen has something to offer, i listen. If you think Taylor's got a top CB in him fighting to get out i'll listen and want to know why (i don't think he has btw).

NE5 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 We had a bid accepted for Woodgate though Leazes so that puts your theory about the funds to bed surely. Time will tell. We needed forwards and I suspect that given half a chance Keegan would have brought at least one in. As I said, if HE decided the forwards we had were good enough I'd be surprised and also he will have to bear the responsibility for his judgement. Remember Mort saying before the deadline that if we bought anybody it would be for the future. Wanker, considering the position we were in and the fixtures coming up.

Because when you talk football it's great so please do it more :-) Thank you, I've also heard excuses from a board for 30 years to kid people they have ambition when they don't, so I've seen and heard all these too. Morts pathetic comments before the deadline and about our summers transfer activity were straight out of the Lord Westwood/Gordon McKeag book of football knowledge and ambition. We will find out. The board have a lot to do to even match the overall performance of the last board during their years running the club. Do you think these backround appointments meet with the approval of Keegan ? because this is another area which could cause him to walk and I for one wouldn't blame him in the slightest if he isn't allowed to run the club the way he wants.
