keegan back at Newcastle

[Simster]

This is simply too funny. He'll need a number 2, a right hand man.

May I suggest Vince HILARIOUS?

 

[Scotty Mac]

A club known for defensive frailty and conceding comical goals every week appoints KEVIN KEEGAN? What the f***!

its called flair - a front FIVE of smith, ameobi, martins, viduk and owen will walk the premiership

 

[Monkster]

The Return of the FLAIRIEST defender EVER.....Philippe Albert?

 

[The Large One]

Is it worth opening the book on when he will walk out on the job again citing stress / baseball bats / weather / the game's not what it was / little green men / bloody bastards?

I reckon six weeks.

 

[Les Biehn]

Brilliant. It's the joke that just keeps getting funnier.

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

What. A. Berk.

Talk about pissing on your own reputation with the Toon Army. I'll be absolutely flabberghasted if it succeeds.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

oh very dear

 

[Uncle Buck]

Newcastle are taking over from Spurs as the comedy club...

 

[Simster]

They don't seem too unhappy in Sunderland:

What makes me laugh more than anything is that you just know, right now, there will be about 100,000 people in Newcastle DELIGHTED that their "hero" has returned, CONVINCED they will now be challenging for the league again.

This 'one of our own' attitude that the Newcastle fans seem to have is exactly the reason they are not as successful as they want to be!

Can't help but think they have got exactly the manager they deserve! Just hope they bring in Shearer as a number 2 and tumble nicely into the lower reaches of the Premiershite!

 

[Beach Hut]

This is about the worst decision I have ever seen as an appointment since......Steve McClaren

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

They seem to think he won them the league when in fact the utterly bottled it.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Where,s Ernest,when you want him ?

 

[Simon Morgan]

I actually quite like Keegan. I think he did good jobs at Newcastle and Man City, seems a strange appointment, but I won't write him off just yet.

 

[stan miguell]

that fella keegan was in my bar last summer. nice fella but obviously knows f*** all about football! he told carlos that his next job would be in spain and that england would win euro 2008. anyway, he had way to much sangria and we had to carry him out in the end. seemed to like carlos a little bit much as well. is he some kinda bender?

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Stupid appointment by Ashley. But at least MOTD and Sky Sports Super Sunday, will be alot more interesting from now on.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

keegan is a flair LEGEND, just look at the newcastle team of the mid 90's and you will see nothing BUT flair, give him a few years and he will transform the TOON ARMY into a flair squadron once again

it appears that ashley has given into public opinion........up here it seems that only keegan, shearer and robson are the only people in football capable of doing ANYTHING, until one of them fails, then the club will get nowhere

oh, and allardyce was sacked because the board wanted attractive football, so its no suprise that keegan was oppointed really

i might get me a few tickets at st. james' to witness some fine 6-6 draws
