I still just feel so miserbaly deflated to beleive it...i think its plausable definatly. MA is now going to have to sell up and if he barks up the price he's going toface more pressure! Come on... If not keegan back....Bilic it is!

For fuck sake! Just home from work and seen the news! FUCK FUCK FUCK! Something massive has died inside me! One thing that pissesme off is that in these meetings MA WASNT present! FFS Soft fucking fat cockney wanker! It was always gonna be wise or KK to go, jobs for the boys i think. Im devastated! Anyway back to topic.... Id have Bilic or laudrup But we all know its gonna be Wise Poyet and hughten (dunno how its spelled) They all worked together so to MA its not only a money saver, but plausible too! I think the above would only be inplace until he sells up, which now is inevitable... The straw that broke the donkeys back........ Where that bit of rope again?

Sounds like the guys had a hard time...nice read, its refreshing to here words or read rather, from a footballer who is grounded. Sounds like a nice guy...he used to be a quality player too! Id give hima shot

Would go some way to make a mends tbh

Well we cant rubbish it because its been said before and they did express an interest. Then again its Anal so yeah we can... If it comes off anal will gain his birth name again!

Lets all laugh at fish...i mean spurs...i mean fish...ahh whatever lets just laugh!

And why would that be? Couldnt be becasue he joined us is it?

I agree - the statement by the club made it clear Ashley is still in it for the long term, and I honestly think he does mean well for the club and isn't just trying to make a quick buck, but he sure as hell hasn't gone about the whole business very well. I to hope Llambias and wise go out, and hopefully we can get just 1 person in replacement, a good chairman/director who knows his football and how a club works Llamblias and wise out and mort back in! Move jiminez to chief scout in charge of all other scouts and there assignments and he and only he should report to KK with suggestions, of which KK decideds who he likes and dislikes. He then would present his own wishlist consisting of the players good enough fromt he scouts and his own choices too. Too me thats how the recruitment side should work. Mort, he was real, down to earth and communicated well with us, we seen a direction when he was upstairs. We need him back! Llamblias?? Cock

Messy! Very messy indeed! Reading the rag this mornin and they say MA tried to sell owen and barton on D-day and keegan hit the roof! That would be understandable tbh, though there are no quotes about owen, they also wrote about pompys interest. If that is the case then it sounds like MA is in fact only in this for a quick buck or to make some money back! Why sell owen who is paramount to our revolution? Why undermine a manager that has the full backing of the geordie nation? It also goes on to say that keegan had presented them with a wishlist which none on that list was approached. I cant understand why MA would say he is in it for the long run, and a 5 year plan and wants to see NUFC back in europe when he runs a club like this! Im starting to loose faith in MA...in fact no i already have! I cant see where we go from this neither, KK feels cheated and undermined, he has had the responsibility of choosing his recruits stripped away from him and placed with a rat from the west end and now seems to have no control on who stays and who goes? MA has got some serious back pedalling to do, his work is cut out and he'l have to rise to it otherwise he is going to feel the wrath on the geordie nation. And i think it mite just be on an unprecadented scale we've not witnessed before. Egg.Shells.Tread.Carefully Mike Ashley! "Theres only one Kevin Keegan!"

Hit.Nail.Head

Why you say that? im hopeful he hasnt but thats all it is...HOPE

Tbh Id like that... Would rather keegan stayed though...just wonder what effect this will have on the players especially the new ones?

Fuck off then

Gemmill first got wind of this, I had confirmation at lunch time, I'm sad for all you people who have held some hope it was all done this morning, and trust me you all better get used to the idea of Dennis Wise as our manager. Wise will only be caretaker if so...

Rumour I've heard is that Ashley et al were pushing the sale of Barton to Pompey to get him off our books totally against Keegan's wishes. Keegan alledgedly told Barton to go public with his desire to stay at SJP which of course he did. Ashley has gone fucking ape-shit that, in his opinion, he's be under-mined by Keegan. Plausible I guess - if it is true then surely Keegan was exercising his right as a manager and Ashley is a twat for getting involved? Either way there's been a serious amount of 'right hand not knowing what the fuck the left is doing' since Wise and Jiminez were appointed IMO. That would explain him texting the fella at SSN which I thought was a very strange move. It all seems very plausable now indeed, with that and what i had said it smacks on undermining and interfearance from MA...im pleased with what the guy has done for us but there has always been something not quite rite. I think the system of wise and jiminez in theory is a good one but they should only be bringing suggestions to the table to add to and compliment KK's suggestions. Not where KK has to choose off a list they've given him. As far as barton goes, it all makes sence now.

I think if he has walked or even if he hasnt he would be laying his cards on the table and this is what i think he'd be bothered about. Owens contract saga...the fact its not sorted and he is most valuable player Milners sale and no replacement The possibility of being undermined by wise and jiminez Lack of Keegan signings Fact that before milner left he wanted 4/5 more Ended up with 2 more, one permanent one on loan. And he wasnt giving a specific budget to work off. Think he'd have good rite to be pissed off, all of the above could have genuine reasons and explanations and may or may not be big issues but id percieve them that way tbh.

Has he actually gone though? It all could just be pie in the sky because to the outside world we havnt splashed the cash as some would of expected plus the media dig up and stir all sorts of shit. Id be gutted if its true and given KK's history could well be, but a small part of me and the worrying thing is its only a small part of me thinks that its bullshit. Fingers crossed!

This is what i was thinking before and i agree, but i cant see xisco taking martins place, theres gonna be a right old scrap for that place up front which is healthy, we mite see the best of oba now he has serious competition for his jersey! Also what i like, and you mentioned it that we can switch back to 433 which is another string to our bow...im honestly enthusiastic about this season now!

I think... Given Beye Colo Talyor Enrique Gutierrez Guthrie Gonzalez N'Zogbia Owen Martins Bench Harper, Bassong, Butt, Xisco, Duff, Geremi, Barton Backup/Youth Krul, Tozer, Edgar, Kadar, Lua-Lua, Baheng, Zamblera, Ameobi, Smith, Viduka, Ranger Strong 1st team, pretty stronger bench and backup has talented youth, versitility and experienced PL players. Im happy with that till january thf

Newcastle United have confirmed the double signing of striker Xisco and midfielder Ignacio Gonzalez. Xisco has arrived at St James' Park from Deportivo La Coruna and Gonzalez has pitched up on Tyneside from Valencia. Spain Under 21 international Xisco has agreed a five-year contract at Newcastle to boost Kevin Keegan's attacking options. He impressed for Deportivo last season, having spent the previous campaign on loan at UC Vecindario in the second division. Uruguay international Gonzalez has moved to Newcastle just weeks after linking up with Valencia from Danubio. Gonzalez had signed a four-year contract with Valencia, but has been allowed to spend the season in the Premier League. Magpies boss Keegan had been hoping to add to his squad before the transfer window closed, with Xisco the second Deportivo player to join the club following the capture of Argentine defender Fabricio Coloccini.

Looks familiar...well pinched and adapted I dont think its all that bad tbh

You're right mate, it's terrible, we're fucked. Championship material. Doomed I sez DOOOMED. or... We've bought the right players at the right price, we've strengthened areas that needed strengthening and shipped out some dead wood. You're a glass half empty kind of guy aren't you. Well said fish... Ants part of the bi-polar pessimistic posse... Although id of liked to of seen a few more faces in im quite pleased...lets see how we do...ya never know we mite wake up to some confirmations and or some pleseant news! As always my glass is most certainly half full

Its all over... I imagine if anything has happened we'll not hear about it till thmora now like...very unlikely though

Glad to see your all in a wondeful mood! Just tried to lighten the frustration of today... Well i found it funny anyways

Haha ya gotta laugh though mate lads
