alpal78 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I'm bored with all this, if Asley and KK has the club's interest at heart, they should sort out things quickly and attend to the team. I just dont trust Terry Mac handling trainings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 He is doing the right thing, taking a few days away from it all to get his head together and think everything through, no rash decisions being made by him this time, thats better all round I would say..

Guest Mucky01 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 NUFC.com have posted some views this one sums up mine best: I know that anger has turned to Ashley because he is ultimately responsible, but he still is the owner and not the guy involved in any of the day to day activities. The guy at the helm is Derek Llambias who is now running the show since Mort left. As I understand it, the big argument over transfer has been between him & Keegan, not Ashley. I believe ‘hard man’ Llambias is the problem, after all he is the guy who has presided over the recent debacles in negotiations with players as Wise et al report to him. Apparently it was Ashley who eventually intervened to sort out Taylor’s contract. It also seems Ashley intervened again after the spat between Llambias & Keegan. I am certainly not trying to apologise for Ashley who after all did appoint Llambias but lets not forget that Ashley has more than a full time job managing his business empire and felt he could not also run NUFC hence the appointment of Mort and more recently Llambias. Remember Keegan’s quip he had a great relationship with Ashley as he never sees him? This just pushes home my point that Ashley has allowed Llambias to run the show and it would appear that it is Llambias who will be the real architect of Keegan’s demise. Unfortunately this seems like horrible deja vu! It was a someone unknown entity called Mark Corbridge who had joined NUFC as joint chief executive from NatWest Markets in November '96 only 2 months before Keegan departed, who in Kev's own words in his biography (page 14) "was the main architect" of his departure the last time - not Sir John Hall. Even though Keegan felt Hall or Shepherd he should have spoke up in support of him, KK blames Corbridge! Now we have some other non-football individual called Derek Llambias this time with a background of running a 'gambling club' who took over from Chris Mort in June as Managing Director, another 'transient' who appears to be the architect this time. What is disturbing me is that we are again seeing a ‘transient’ MD or Chief Executive with absolutely no experience in managing football clubs ending up at the helm at NUFC and making some momentous decisions. These guys never last long (Mark Corbridge was only there for a few months until Newcastle were floated and he then disappeared from football altogether) but the havoc they can cause can be enormous with the consequence of their actions taking decades to repair! I just hope Ashley realises by appointing a ‘gambling man’ in Llambias he is not just taking a gamble, this time he is playing Russian Roulette! If Ashley does pull the trigger I trust he points the gun in the direction of Llambias, as I feel this is the only way to solve the problem and let Keegan regain control of player recruitment and if that is without Dennis Wise et al then so be it. There is absolutely not a scintilla of doubt in my mind that it will be a disaster of monumental proportions if Keegan is allowed to leave.

B-more Mag Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Anyone know if there was any real connection between Llambias and Ashley before he was brought on? I originally had the sense that Ashley appointed people he knew and trusted, like Mort, to run his various interests on a day-to-day basis. Ideally, he'd have somebody in the position that knows how he acts and what he wants so the manager has someone with whom he can deal, having confidence that such person would be a real surrogate for Ashley. (I don't presume to know if that's the root of the problem here). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

indi Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 What everyone seems to be forgetting (and especially the press) is our mostly positive start to the season. If Keegan stays, I'd be reasonably confident of a comfortable top-half finish, and that would stick fingers up at the doubters brilliantly. Yeah, I read something on the BBC that said "Newcastle have had a disappointing start and have only taken 4 points from the first three games of the season". It's a fucking joke what gets written in the media, it's even more of a joke that people swallow it. i don`t swallow Ok then: Spit it out all over my nice clean forum. Better?
