Mr Logic Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 cant beleive the bit about his family not being safe, surely there was/is never a chance anyone would think of carrying out physical abuse against him or his child. Unfortunately you'd be wrong, it only takes one mong to think he's being a hero. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 "I accept more players in would have been better, but we've brought in 6 players this summer (1 on loan) and the only significant leavers (If you can even call them that) were Emre, Carr, Rozenhal and Ramage. People talk about the squad getting thinner but to me that's the reverse, both in numbers and in terms of quality. It's early days but I think the DoF system has proven that it's working OK so far." Given the side we fielded y'day I have to disagree with your point. How can the squad be getting stronger when we have players out of position, academy level kids on the bench and Shola starting ? We have too small a squad, I agree, but injuries have taken their toll on us as well with the likes of Enrique, Barton, Viduka and Smith (Yeah, I know!) out. And like I said more signings would have been better and who's to say that the likes of Wise and Vetere didn't have more lined up but Keegan kept vetoing them? Not saying that's the case as I've got no more idea than the rest of you but people seem over keen to aportion blame anywhere but at Keegan's feet due to their paper "Welcome back KK" crowns falling down over their eyes. (And Shola's been starting for years, inexcusable as that might be, so mentioning that is irrelevant. ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 cant beleive the bit about his family not being safe, surely there was/is never a chance anyone would think of carrying out physical abuse against him or his child. Dont think any arrests were made yesterday in relation to the protests? There's always an idiot that may do something like that. But that doesn't mean the rest will behave like that. Fact is there are some nutters out there that will do anyway to get some attention. Similarly, don't you think Wise will also have a similar concern now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 i cant believe how people are swung on one statement. the bloke is trying one last attempt to make himself the good guy and Keegan the wrong un. How do you know Keegan isn't to blame for this? Thought so... isnt to blame for what?....being unable to operate when the bloke buying the players daren't even show his face in the city? Isn't to blame for falling out with Wise or Ashley or anyone....you or me or anyone else here actually knows fuck all about whats has happened behind the scenes but still try to state things as facts.

Thespence Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Dont know if it has been said but i am worried we will be stuck with Hughton in charge until he sells That would be terrible A manager won't be appointed until he sells, I'm pretty certain of that. He thinks he may not be able to sell I have the interests of Newcastle United at heart. I have listened to you. You want me out. That is what I am now trying to do but it won't happen overnight and it may not happen at all if a buyer does not come in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres more to this than that and you know it. NO. its as simple as that, Keegan wants to choose his own players. denis wise tried to treat him like a naughty boy. Keegan is of bigger stature than Wise, Asley, had his line management upside down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 For the best, tbh. I thought he'd be a success here, and I think he could have been in the long run had some things just gone down just a little differently. Hoping for Ambani to come in now like.

Mick Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 well Ashley was an idiot for agreeing to it !!!! We're talking about spending hundreds of millions of £'s and he wasn't able / willing to do due dilligence ?!?!??! And the version of events I heard from people who work directly for Mort and Ashley was that it was Ashley who laid down the deadline and said "there's your offer, there's a deadline, take it or leave it" Ashley was an idiot for working to the deadline, he was told that the deadline was imposed to prevent news getting out which would cause the club problems. Sir John imposed the deadline, not Ashley so whoever told you that is wrong, fact. Sorry if that appears arrogant but it's true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stozo Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Don't want keegan back, in my eyes he's as much to blame as anyone else in this situation. I don't believe for one moment that he didn't know the score on transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bailey Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 disappointing that its all ended like this. Promising start, never liked the replica shirt wearing/standing in the terraces myself, but things seemed to go pear shaped once Mort left and the Wise thing was never gonna hold water. God help us we need a relativley speedy resolution to this and hope for some stability for a significant period. Personally, that may not neccessarily have KK coming back either (god forbid not Shearer), a clean professional break may be best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stalker Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 He doesn't NEED to sell up, getting rid of Wise and bringing back Keegan would sort this s*** out. True, but Wise should simply realise he's not wanted here and resign. He surely can't enjoy being hated by so many. Given the clubs financial concerns that Ashley's put across, Keegan would obviously have to be reasonable in deamanding transfer money. Granted we should watch what we're spending, but smaller clubs seem to get by on half the gate money, shirt sales etc than we do. This is Dennis Wise the man universally hated by all football fans, excluding Chelsea and Wimbledon. Dont think he's cares what people think about him as long as he's getting paid. Was chatting to a leicester fan who pointed out that Wise nearly put them out of existence when he was suing them for unfair dismissal despite the fact he had assaulted the club captain, breaking his jaw in the process. The guy is scum, pure and simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
