BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Newcastle have confirmed that Kevin Keegan will make a dramatic return to manage the club. The 56-year-old former Manchester City boss managed the Magpies from 1992 to 1997 and will return to St James' Park as Sam Allardyce's successor. Gerard Houllier and Didier Deschamps were strongly linked with the position in the last two days but the club unexpectedly turned to Keegan. He was initially linked only with a partnership role with Alan Shearer. The ex-England coach was running his "Soccer Circus" in Glasgow after qutting his job at City in March 2005. He was also linked with a return to the club last summer as director of football following Mike Ashley's takeover. from the BBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Blimey, that's insane. I can't actually believe that, he did all he could possibly do for them, thats why he left last time. Now he's taking it again. Well i wish him luck because i like him, but he's got a horrible job imo. needs at least 2 years in charge, thats minimum, no 8 month bullshit. i understand he wants to help and get newcastle stable again and back into europe, but he's in for a rough ride.

Ollie 4,400 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) they'll (Newcastles board) be more sympathetic for keegan as they were for Allardyce. They'll give him longer because of who he is and what he means to Newcastle United Football Club and the fans. He'll get 2 seasons i think, but it wont change anything. They'll still be trophyless, useless and well....... crap Edited January 16, 2008 by OllieCFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EskWeston 696 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Newcastles problem is that they believe that they are a much bigger club than they actually are and can never accept that no-one is going to take them where they "believe" they should be unless someone spends an absolute fortune on them.... Which i don't think Mike Ashley as rich as he is will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Well that's progress for you. More embarrassingly uncontrolled rants to look forward to - splendid. At least it makes the Prem a bit more lively -emotional Kev at his best . Remember when he was asleep in his Range Rover and got battered by a load of blokes with baseball bats ?

EskWeston 696 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Well aparently he has been given a blank Cheque book to create a dream team in the next 3 years. The papers are also claiming that he has targeted Defoe and Wright-Phillips as his first targets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ere' Kev , you can have Sidwell, Haim and Pizarro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would sell him in the summer to be honest, at the end of the day we can get and need a better winger than him. And as good as he is in the Attacking midfield role (and he is quality there) we can again get better who are a natural in that position. Our winger situation needs improving in the summer with 1 World Class winger and unfortunately SWP would be the one to make way because Cole, Kalou and Malouda all offer a lot more than SWP in the wings.

Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 There are better options for wingers but if he plays the way he has lately behind the strikers then we should keep him imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would much rather have someone taylor made for that position who are truly world class like Iniesta, Van Der Vaart, Modric, Dos Santos ect.....

Would much rather have someone taylor made for that position who are truly world class like Iniesta, Van Der Vaart, Modric, Dos Santos ect..... 'taylor made' are players born for that role ? They have to start somewhere, and SWP has only been there for a short while. I see the potential in that position to be so called 'world class' whatever that means Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
