Dave Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Not the worst idea, so long as he doesn't interfere with the manager's roles too much. Bit backwards-stepish though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I think KKs finished with football. I read a interview with him recently saying he hadnt watched a Premier League game for two years and got a bigger buzz from training kids at his soccer circus.

Sparks Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I can't see Allardyce being exactly over the moon with this, almost as bad as having Shearer above you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Keegan is a spineless toad. Found wanting every single time the pressure was on him. The last thing NUFC want or need is KK back in the fold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Please no. If I were Allardyce, I would be furious. And rightfully so. No good will come of this, and I really hope Ashley isn't that stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the bloke to bits but no thanks. cough* beardsley*cough. would have been a good idea when roeder was manager,not sure what allardyce would make of it if true. It would be nice to have him at the club on some capacity and if it was just selling the club to players,investors,advertisers etc i can't think of anyone better.

Mick Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Keegan being spineless wouldn't come into it as the pressure would still be on the manager, I don't think Allardyce would have anything to worry about either as I doubt Keegan would be a threat, he's done it and moved on. I wouldn't like to see Keegan ever return as manager but I think he could do a job bringing players in. I doubt anybody could sell the club to prospective signings better than Keegan, he didn't have a bad record here. He's also be good with the press if the manager was ever in trouble because of results, I can't see why people wouldn't want him here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicago_shearer Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 If Ashley appoints Keegan as a DoF (without Allardyce himself having requested it) then Sam just might tell Ashley where to shove his strategic review and resign. It undermines his authority as a manager and would represent a deliberate attempt to question his style of play. It would be a complete disaster. I would imagine that when Sam signed, he had agreements with the previous regime as to what he would require. I'm going to guess they did not involve a strategic review during the transfer window or a popular predecessor with a reputation for attacking football being brought in as a babysitter.

Mick Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 If this did happen, i'd like to think Allardyce was fully in agreement with it first. Agreed, and just for Kasper, i’d should have a capital "I" for it to be grammatically correct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spark Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Totally against this. I'm sure Sam can do a good job by himself. Does a DOF ever work? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 What the hell would he do? As I've said elsewhere, Allardyce strikes me as a more capable DOF candidate than most as his primary concerns seem to be fitness, players' lifestyle, facilities, staff, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
