1878 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Even if he is now staying, don't you think this whole fiasco makes Keegan's position virtually untenable? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 It isn't over yet. I wouldn't be celebrating, Keegan could still be walking. It looks as if they're trying to shift the blame onto KK, guilting him into staying so that if he goes, the board and Ashley don't feel the backlash (very much like the Owen announcement) my thoughts aswell It's a likely scenario, which makes me worried, very...Hope the worry is unfounded.

oldtype Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I think it's fairly obvious that the scenario we've all been discussing is what actually happened. Keegan has major row with Wise/Jimenez/Lambias, walks out in a fit of fury, Ashley comes into the office and screams "WHAT THE FUCK HAVE ALL OF YOU JUST BEEN DOING!!" Gets on the phone and tries to get KK to come back. I'm not completely confident from the wording of that statement that they've actually succeeded in getting KK to take his job back. Still, feeling a damned sight better than I did an hour ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Even if he is now staying, don't you think this whole fiasco makes Keegan's position virtually untenable? Not at all, if anything it makes him stronger, if he can come out of a clash with the board with his job intact. If there even was a row, and not just discussions.

Guest Geordiesned Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Just waiting for the charva's outside St James' to start chanting "there's only one Mike Ashley". Fickle bastards! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-more Mag Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 That wording concerns me greatly. The club are saying that he hasnt been sacked, they want him to stay. HOWEVER it deosnt say he hasnt walked. He will have walked i bet, they are just trying to limit the damage and the fall-out on Ashley. If he has walked, as i expect, then i can only think its because the club went one step too far, either over the sale of Milner, attempted sale of Barton, the signing of unknowns to Keegan, or a major broken transfer promise. Or all 4!!! theres no way they could release a statement like that saying he hasnt been sacked.... then tomorrow, ooops forgot to mention, he walked out. Stranger things have happened . . . . today.

jimmymag Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Keegan did it once with SJH and it worked, I didn't believe he could pull the same stroke again but I believe he has. If he's still manager he's in a stronger position than ever and that'll be good news for the club in the immediate future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's still manager he's in a stronger position than ever and that'll be good news for the club in the immediate future. See what you're saying but that wasn't in the days of SSN or internet chat/technology. I think he may see this as too public to back down. IMO.

Optimistic Nut Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 You'd have thought if he's walked, they'd simply have said something like, "The club can confirm Kevin Keegan has resigned". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 If he's been sacked then Mike Ashley hasn't got a clue, and all this time the papers were right about the split. Also this summer has been a fuking mare, while this season is again wasted. If he's left he's a bottling cunt, and again the papers were right about the split. If he hasn't and the club haven't released anything to dismiss then again, Ashley is a stupid fuk not worthy of owning our football club allowing this to go on all day. If he has bottled it, but Ashley is trying to get him to stay on and ride out a disappointing summer of crap transfer activity with promise of more soon enough, then this would be the only option right now that can be seen in any good light. Could be, could be... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
