BONTEMPI Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Keegan as manager then stick Shearer in charge of the reserves first and he can find his feet that way. Then once the time is right 'Kill,Kill them all with a hammer' Shearer can take over as manager whilst Keegan goes upstairs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 At least if Keegan and Shearer come in and it royally fucks up with them given the right backing, we can shift both out and finally move out of their collective shadows. Personally I think they'd do well, but if not we can move on from both once and for all. Win/win IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie87 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 6 games would take us into November, not the start of october. WTF?¬?¬?¬ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'm praying that this happens. Nothing more would make me happier than to see new owners put Keegan and or Big Al in charge. Don't care abotu moving on and all that, its my opininion that all will be okay (i hope) if KK came back. What a story that would be... KEEGAN RETURNS AS MANAGER Best show on earth.

fredbob Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 So the sale is inevitable then! Fair enough. We risked Keegan falling out with Wise only to give him the option to risk falling out with Shearer? One or the other please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 6 games would take us into November, not the start of october. WTF?¬?¬?¬ It is possible Kinnear has been given an eight game contract, both as a contingency against delays, but also as part of some guaranteed financial benefit for it to be worth Kinnear's while.

Ketsbaia Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 and its good that it came from Kinnear and not a "club source" or "insider".....i must say im feeling positive about things today. win tomorrow and things will pick up. we're only 5 games into the season and winning tomorrow can fire us up the league. im hoping that once this is sorted we'll have fulfilled our "annual crisis" criteria for the media and we can crack on with the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 God if this happens!, then we are really going down the hill. totally agree this fill's me with the most dread Whoever puts Keegan/Shearer in charge will have to back them with money, and if you can buy good players you really have to be a shit manager not to make significant improvement to the team. I would think they'll do ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 it would make the club look 10x more stupid than it looks now the only positive is that when they get sacked or resign, they can't be considered to be at the club again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't give a fuck what other people think, I want what's best for this club and that is the only thing that could be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Both men need to be number one for the sake of their ego so I don't see any way this could work, unless Keegan takes up a role as chairman like Quinny down the road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoreboard82 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 God if this happens!, then we are really going down the hill. totally agree this fill's me with the most dread Why take KK back when every decent manager in the land wants the job eh? The fact that we've been knocked back by Venables and we've stooped to appointing Kinnear should show you how unattractive this job has become. No manager of any worth wants to be here. We could do worse than to offer the job back to KK who reluctantly left and IMO loves the club. Wether or not he'd return is another matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're down to the likes of Venables and Kinnear because the club is up for sale and no manager will come here without any sort of job security, before the protests and Ashley telling everyone he wants to sell we had the likes of Terin, Deschamps and Zico putting their names forward.

madras Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 But the Irishman hinted that he expects Keegan to take the reins again once a takeover of the club has been sealed. "I am aware that the new owners have Kevin Keegan and possibly Alan Shearer parked around the corner," he told BBC Radio 5 Live. "I understand investors are about to buy the club, (current owner) Mike Ashley told me openly. I will be here for 6-8 games." i hope thats "six to eight games" and wasn't a misheard "sixty eight games" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.R. Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 The club is getting torn apart, we're being humiliated and a ray of light in the shape of new owners and a Keegan/Shearer partnership appears. What do people do - twist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I don't see a problem with giving Shearer a go. He's in the Hughes and Keane mould, from the same era and has the same stature so would command respect. Rather him than the utter failures we're always left with.

toontownman Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'd take it as a bit of a slap in the face, placating whilst patronising us "brainless supporters" that only want Geordie heroes in charge and alienate and condemn anyone from anywhere else especially from the South. Oh know actually for the most part that is what we are. Keegan with Shearer as assistant makes sense, no one else would want it, no else would be supported and as soon as Keegan bottles it Shearer will be there to take over.

fredbob Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 We're absolutely banking on Keegan having the managerial skill to eventually get us into the top 4, becasue if heavy ivestement does come in - and we dont eventually get there as a result then the nufc manager merry-go-round will start all over again - it'll be like Shepherd never left.
