The Fat Controller Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 Kevin Keegan has been sacked by Newcastle .... What a way to treat someone who has to sell all his best players and has been given hardly any money for new players at a club with magnificent supporters.....DE JA VU To top it off , They've nearly had as many managers as us !!

dubai_phil Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 It's probably been the worst kept secret in football that Ashley wants out at Newcastle and despite his promises doesn't actually have enough money to take them forward to the land he promised. Hmm where we heard that before? Hopefully KK will get a nice big pay-off but will NOT be offered a big lump of equity in SLH to become our DoF But 12 mil for Milner - lol - keep the faith with the kids Rupe's we're gonna be rich!

trousers Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7593683.stm Page last updated at 14:41 GMT, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 15:41 UK E-mail this to a friend Printable version Keegan and Newcastle part company Keegan also managed the club between 1992 and 1997 Manager Kevin Keegan has left Newcastle United after only eight months in charge, BBC Radio 5 Live understands. Speculation had been mounting over the 57-year-old's unhappiness with a lack of control over transfer activity. The club's only business on transfer deadline day was a £5.7m swoop for Spanish striker Xisco and the loan signing of midfielder Ignacio Gonzalez. The former England boss rejoined the Magpies in January, having managed at St James' Park between 1992 and 1997. Newcastle are 11th in the Premier League having picked up just four points from their opening three games. More soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 KK has been mucked about by Ashley - would you accept a job as manager and then be happy when Dennis Wise is appointed to decide what players you will have in your team? Only surprise is he lasted this long - good luck Kevin, and screw them for every penny you can. Newcastle will be at St Mary's next season even if KK isn't. Guess Shearer's phone is ringing - he'll be a fool to go tho'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his contract said he had authority on buying players and he wasn't had that, then perhaps he could argue he left the post because it wasn't conforming to his job description, but I am guessing.

ottery st mary Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 Wise has told Ashley of out Total football and The Dutch revolution here at Southampton and appears very interested.

They're a big club you know. I gather Portsmouth was the club keen to take Joey Barton in a player swap but balked at being asked for an extra £4 million. Figures.
