We need to contact Ambani and show him how much we want him

 

Get your "We want Anil" banners out! Media would love that

 

Good idea :-)

With fans like us that put a 'u' in 'boycott', I have an awful feeling that the next thing we'd see is Alan Oliver being given the manager's job.

I have never backed a boycott. Do not put me in a boycott

Am I the only one who'd be dissapionted if we hired Keegan again if this guy took over.

 

With the 6th richest guy in the world owning us we could have our pick of mangers so I'd be somewhat dissapionted if he hired Keegan instead of Rijkaard, Mancini etc.

Why is this guy suddenly being paraded around as some sort of possible hero?

 

Ashley has messed up but he's not evil and if this guy did come we'd join the liikes of Chelsea and Man City in buying our way to success. Which is not what I want from Newcastle United and I don't think it's the NUFC way.

 

Besides, he could come in, make certain demands/requests a la Ashley's controversial continental set-up and you'd all hate him too.

Keegan 5/1 with ladbrokes

 

Jesus! what have they dropped down from?

 

started at 20/1 this morning

 

It's because people are putting money on him.  Not because it's any more likely to happen.

I know how betting works mate, there is a lot of money going on him for his odds to drop this much. means one of two things:

 

1) Somebody ITK is lumping on

2) Geordies are betting in hope more than logic

 

Probably the 2nd, but would love to be wrong

KEVIN KEEGAN could be back as Newcastle United manager – if Mike Ashley sells out to any of the consortiums who want to buy the club.

 

That is the sensational news The Chronicle is hearing from the Keegan camp – and it is news which will absolutely delight the Toon Army.

 

I spoke to Keegan last night and, while he did not talk about his reasons for resigning or plans for the future, he was definitely upbeat.

 

Certainly it was a different Keegan to the one who left down in the dumps and headed for Florida sunshine when he quit United in 1997.

 

There is no doubt in my mind Tyneside’s favourite son has been lifted by the magnificent support he has received – not only in Newcastle but throughout the country.

 

The Chronicle revealed on Thursday that Anil Ambani and his Reliance Group, alerted by the current crisis at St James’s Park, had rekindled their interest in buying out United.

 

While the billionaire will remain in India, his representatives are heading to England on Monday to try to take over a Premier League club, with Newcastle United believed to be very high on their list.

 

When Ambani first moved for United, his plan, had he been successful, was to bring in a top European manager, but he will now be fully aware Keegan is the man the vast majority of the club’s fans want to see at the helm.

 

However, Toon supremo Ashley has always insisted he has no intention of selling the club and the ball is now very much in his court.

 

These are undoubtedly difficult days for the United owner, with his first job being to find a successor to Keegan.

 

Spurs have warned United off Gus Poyet and the latest name in the frame is that of another former White Hart Lane and England boss Terry Venables.

 

In normal circumstances, Venables working with a young coach like Alan Shearer would seem to be quite a good idea but as the Chronicle revealed last night, their former legendary skipper is not interested in returning under the present regime.

 

Venables is also part of the so-called London mafia, something which understandably does not go down well with the Newcastle fans.

 

Newcastle United are on a clear downward spiral at the moment and I cannot help recalling what Keegan told me in his very last interview as manager after last Saturday’s defeat by Arsenal at The Emirates.

 

He said then: “Once this football club gets on the march it is a pretty strong force, as has been proved in the past.

 

“Of course, when it goes backwards it goes backwards at twice the pace and that is the problem.”

 

Now all United fans can hope is that these last words from The Messiah do not turn out to be prophetic.

I'm sure you do know, just that there always seems to be a lot of people who don't :)

Lets be honest.  The Newcastle United way is to continually fuck everything up and if we dont get some people in who are ready to seriously invest in the team then we are going to be posting on this forum in 10 or 15 years time and we will still have won fuck all and probably be languishing in mid table mediocrity or worse.

 

At least this guy will give us a fighting chance of being the best.

As a fairly experienced gambler, I would suggest number 1 is more likely. You don't get massive price swings because of delusions. Money talks.
