I very much doubt Keegan will be unveiled tonight purely because there is no TV Coverage. I would expect that with the game being on Sultana on Saturday that they'll use that as an opportunity to open the circus once again

Mick Lowes knows the score

Which radio is covering it tonight?

Ive hit the bottle already! Looks like ill be just listening to the game tonight

Oliver - "Alan was on the phone this afternoon to say he was on the train!"

Anal on telly NOW - stunned!

Is the initial euphoria wearing off a little yet?

12 men against 11, will definitely see us run out winners Anyone got a stream of it?

SSN are saying that Keegan may be revealed tonight before the game. Anyone got a stream??

Im dying for some proper "news" on SSN now, theyve trailed out just about every member of the "Geordie Nation", every former player and plenty of the mongs hanging about the cameras. Although we havent seen one person yet........Anal - wheres he hiding???? Maybe Kev didnt contact him this afternoon!

A few people I know who have met him have said he was an absolute arsehole. These people werent affiliated with each other either and all of the encounters were on seperate occasions. Must have some truth in it.

speaking of mongs, did everyone else just see SSN with all them kids outside?

i think the big thing about Keegan coming back is that there is an instant lift amongst the fans and around the club. This is definitely a heart decision rather than one made with the head but it would be great if he could turn our fortunes around and start putitng some performances back on the pitch. What is more important, is who he brings in to help him achieve this. Personally I would love to see Shearer alongside him with a couple of top coaches. Steve Round is highly regarded so would like to see him stay however, John Carver was also highly considered and is now out of a job. Surround himself with people who can help him and we could see some good stuff on the pitch. It may also mean that there is some continuity.

Just wondered if anyone has the win rate stats of the managers since Keegan left? I'd be intrigued to see who is where...

They might be for him!

Fuck it, every other logical appointment has failed. Bring the Circus to SJP! The messiah returns!

Im just amazed at the popularity of Anal. How come every man and his dog has his phone number? Why dont they phone Shaun Custis or Steve Howard?

Ill be honest, that is a very similar opinion to mine, however I am still probably leaning towards the wet dream. Very close though

Updated with all latest possible choices

Would know the French youth system as well? Take Arsene on at his own game?

This has a fresh approach feeling about it. I havent seen his football though, attacking???

With all this hysteria about KK i think i may find myself disappointed that he probably wont be here !!

Dont think itll be Jol with Kelmsleys influence, Hughes if offered I think would take it as its definitely a step up from Blackburn and he may think that he's taken them as far as he can (sounds very BSAesque). Keegan has been out of management for 3 years which is a long time out of a job. His current knowledge of the market I would imagine would be very rusty and would need to pull out those numbers again of his previous contacts.

I can see the similarities in profile with Hughes/Allardyce but their style of play couldnt be more different. Blackburn have had to scrap out some games, but they have natural pace & width which is something we havent really seen since Souness dismantled Robsons team.

I would tend to agree that Redknapp has probably used the opportunity to seek a better deal with Portsmouth however, from the soundbites coming from the club, it does sound that all the eggs were in the one basket. The fact that Redknapp was approached only days after Allardyce getting the boot and the lack of any public knowledge of anyone interviewed since suggests to me that the club are backpedalling to make it look better for any further approaches. Id like to think someone was in place by the weekend. All this take our time nonsense is no good when you are 6 points above the drop zone and looking no more likely to score a goal.
