Sir Digby Chicken Caesar Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 how long has keegan been out the game for? a lot has changed in that time. Only since 2005 when he left Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Harris Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Only since 2005 when he left Man City. oh yeah, thought it was longer. Still - even in a couple of seasons if he's not been keeping an eye on the premiership he's going to be starting from a disadvantaged position. It just seems like an appointment to appease the Newcastle fans rather than one that will do them any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunxjambo Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Geordies are Scots with their brains bashed in. maybe if they had a manager that could sign class defenders they might stand a chance of winning summat. thats out the window with the arrival of keegan; it'll be 2 full backs as centre halves, a couple of wingers as full backs, no defensive/holding MF, all attacking MF's & three strikers each game. fun to watch though. Now there's a quiz question:- Name an international class Newcastle defender, past or present. (Carr doesn't count because he's not!) Philippe albert possibly but where was he played? correct MF! before that Bobby Moncur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only been 2 hours since he got the job. At least they never humiliated it and called it Hibernian Kydd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he did an amazing job. His 1995/96 team and Hearts 1985/86 were easily the best football seasons I've ever enjoyed, despite both teams falling at the final hurdle. Sunderland and Hibs fans respectively take great delight at these so-called "failures", but only because their own wee teams have never come anywhere near a Premier League title.

Ivan Drago Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 when he was managing Newcastle he only really had MAn U to compete with, now he has Arsenal, possibly the best footballing team in the world in terms of technique and entertainment, (even better than hibs!) and Chelsea, the richest team in the world. Then look at teams like Everton, Villa and Spurs who have far better squads in place, and the fact that Newcastles best player is in jail more often than Kenny Richey.

Ibrahim Tall Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Should just have appointed Shearer. He'd ****** it up royally and take the pressure off all the managers that followed so they wouldn't have the "Shearer for Manager" pish after every bad result. I like KK though, seems a nice honest guy and he play's football the way it's meant to be be played but i still feel he's a bad appointment this time round. That pressure and expection is fully on him this time to repeat what he has previously in a league which has changed beyond recognition. Anyone back then had a "chance" to do something, now it's the same 4 every year and even then only 3 have won it. Not to mention his previously brilliant Newcastle team has been replaced with ****e.

I'm a season-ticket holder at SJP and don't know a single fan who thinks they should be "at the top", if by that you mean winning the Premier League. However, with the 5th best record since the Premier League began, they are surely entitled to aspire to that position and mount a challenge for a top 4 spot. In the same way that Hearts are entitled to aspire to at least 3rd in the SPL and hopefully challenge the Old Firm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
