TheGuv Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 12 years ago today Even being fortunate enough to have a ST during the Robson years as a young lad, I honestly think that moment and the week leading up to the Bolton game was some of the happiest I’ve ever had as a Newcastle fan. By the time Keegan had left he really had turned around a dreadful side that I think would have been close to relegation by the end of the 07/08 season. I still feel robbed as a fan. I’d love to see in an alternative universe where we’d have reached with Keegan. I don’t think it would have been anything special. Perhaps a top 6 finish and a cup run of sorts. But it would have been fun whilst it lasted. 8 months was too short and just cruel for a 14 year old. Can you tell I’m not over it yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Remember sitting in front of Ashley at an away game, might have been Coventry in the cup. Thought it was about to be a golden age Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Makes you wonder how it all went so wrong. Actual elements you can pick - Wise being appointed and the dodgy deals that summer then Lambias etc etc etc but from Keegan coming in until the end of the season everything looked set to (a) reestablish our position in the league and (b) make MA some cash. Then it just all went to shit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it just all went to shit Ashley bought us in a rising market , he probably planned to sell us on for a decent profit but in 2008 the financial crash happened and whats happened since was determined by that event , everything else is details Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 My view, is that when the crowd turned, he just took a vendetta against us. Everything that happened since then is part of that I get that, its more what or who managed to persuade him that the Wise appointment and that summers activity was a good idea. Everything that followed is a direct result of that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Yup, realised he could just as much, if not even more, joy from being a total cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Think he was a cunt from the outset, Keegan was a placatory appointment designed to put a likeable skin on his cynical model. Keegan knew the score in his Everton post match MOTD interview. His interest in Rangers tells you everything IMO about deliberately targeting clubs with loyal fans.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 This ignores what has been a considered process throughout the entirety of the time he has been here.

Kanj Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 1. Bought us in 2007, spread SD around the world..have some fun 2. Brought in Keegan Jan 2008, was ready for fun 3. Global Recession in Q2 2008 - Q2 2009 4. Keegan resigns in Sept 2008 5. Fans go mental and turn on MA 6. MA fucks up selling club to Sheikh Mansour in mid Sept 2008 7. Club gets relegated in June 2009 8. He can't find a buyer for the club whilst in Champo 9. Football becomes a very inflated business and he realizes he can basically do it on the cheap...bla bla bla you all get the timeline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
