Park Life 71 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Of course everything about this appointment is so wrong it almost could be right. Mixed emotions all around us and scant regard will be paid to logic for some time. Ashley for me has acted and unlike him in this instance with an emotional descision when faced with his first real test. It is almost childlike in its beauty and simple in the way it reveals everything at once about how Ashley sees the needs of the club. It is of course utter madness....But deep down we all feel there is a chance it might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'm not having this cautious optimism. Blind optimism is how you win games and it needs to come from the manager, players and fans. As shown last night. Pure belief. If you have no faith, then the messiah can't welcome you through the gates of heaven to everlasting enlightenment. Keegan will surpass even his previous achievements at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15870 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 ...for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows... Count me in on the bandwagon. I've become so disillusioned and cynical recently that a dose of mid-90s-style rollercoasterism is probably just the tonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big TRon 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 What have we got to lose when you think about it? Despite the predictable cynicism in much of the press, Keegan will first and foremost get the best out of these players who are far better than Allardyce made them look. With Keegan back Newcastle are big Box Office again, that will be worth it's worth in gold and Ashley's not stupid, he'll have considered it. And who's to say anyone else was going to be a guaranteed success anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4446 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'd go with the comment SpongeBob applied to Keegan/Shearer in the runners thread. "Hilarious, magnificent, stupid" I think the reason people are backing Ashley is that they think "If I was in his position and I was asked for an instinctive answer to who should manage us what would I say" - if you give people a couple of seconds they'd probably say Mourinho or Wenger but we're all so fucked up I'll bet shit loads would say Keegan. Of course an antithesis to the turgid dross and depression of Allardyce is a factor in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6925 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Where did people expect Houllier, Deschamps, RedCrapp etc etc get us ? Top 5-6? No reason why Keegan cant get us there and it will be fun finding out. I have regained my appetite for football already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Perhaps we need to worry about the wallet of Ashley rather than the mind of Ashley. GET SPENDING !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The appointment already seems to have invigorated the fan base. On last night's showing, it might seem even the players are excited. This might be the worst appointment ever, but it just might well be the best. It's a while since I was this excited about football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 No way Keegan would have come without plenty money to spend and if it isn't forthcoming he'll go and tell everyone why so I'm not worried at all on that score. I don't expect to see anyone coming this transfer window though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Aye. A good thing about Keegan is his refusal to compromise. Once he thought he was compromising last time he just went. He can live with or without football. You can be sure the players that come will be the players he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect to see anyone coming this transfer window though. Hard to see how Keegan would know which players he wants having been out of the game so long. In any case, I reckon we have a pretty decent squad to get us by seeing as we aren't going anywhere this season. Perfect for getting Keegers feet under the table and then launching an all out assault in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3bitbob 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I think its a master stroke by Ashley. I think he epitimises what NUFC is all about - I'm not expecting him to turn things around straight away but he has giving me my appetite back for Newcastle United. Acctually looking forward to Saturdays game and hope that its a full house with strong support It's been a while since I have felt this good about football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
