steve_69 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 i dont think he will come back cos i dont think ashley and co will change their stratergy - as they stated: "The Club wants to keep progressing with its long-term strategy " The club can progress with its long term strategy but they have to understand that after the players, the manager is the most important person at a football club. Everyone else is just there to support the manager in whatever capacity he needs them to. If it's obvious to the manager that he is not considered the most important person at the club by the top brass, then he knows he cannot do the job to the best of his ability, and in Keegan's case that's not good enough. I admire Mike Ashley for what he is trying to do with the club but he has to realise that what happens on the pitch is more important than anything else. If his way of running the club is damaging progress on the pitch then it is up to him to change it for the good of Newcastle United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I feel like a relative in a hospital waiting room. I'm absolutely exhausted, been through the mill emotionally but can't just walk away and go to bed in case I miss anything and I have to get up in the morning to find he's gone. Sums it all up. this is NUFC. this is water off a ducks back. the first time shocks,the next annoys. it's now been that many times the only intrigue is the reaction of others.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 still can't help but feel this wouldn't have been as drawn out with every other club. The media have had a fucking field day and for us its just been painful, and at times embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philinho Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 From what I've heard, this has erupted from not signing Schweinstiger. Apparently Keegan and Wise had tied up the deal (this was the 'wow' signing) and presented it to Ashley to sign off. Jimenez intervened and said the wages were too high and Ashley backed Jimenez and not Keegan - hence Keegan wanting to walk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to go off topic....but why the hell would Bastian Schweinsteiger want to come to Newcastle? I always got the impression that he was happy being an instrumental part of a CL team. And I'm sure he gets paid plenty, considering he plays for Bayern Munchen n all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 This is almost deja vu with Hayden Bridge/ not like the brochure debacle. I say almost as that was kept fairly quiet and there was a way back. Looks like Ashley is not letting KK run the side how he wants and they have had an almighty pissing up the wall contest that KK was never going to win. In the heat of battle KK is sacked/ walked and Ashley soons realises he has totally f***ed up and simply didn't realise the repercussions. The club say nowt as they spend the next few hours trying to get KK back & then issue a statement saying KK wasn't sacked & they want him to stay. I can't see KK coming back from this one and Ashley has lost the fans. I hope he can find a way back & that Wise becomes the fall guy, otherwise we can only hope that Ashley sells up as he will not find forgiveness for what he has done to our club. I'm not blaming KK at all on this one; imo Ashley has brought this day all upon himself and it is we, the fans, who are having to suffer. Not that i'm disagreeing (or agreeing) but how can you pin all of the blame on Ashley? there are two sides to every story and we don't even properly know one side yet! The 2 most important things to any club should be the fans and the first team. KK knows that, Ashley doesn't seem to have grasped it and is doing things in a kind of bargain basement way. Phrases like long term strategy are there to buy time & will only gain credence if short & medium actions pave the way. Ashley has given false hope and allegedly false promises to supporters - Wow. He's made KK look like a tit and we all know where that road leads. Keegan himself has said there was money to buy regardless of the sale of Milner. We don't actually know that Ashley buying bargain basement is the root of the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
