Nineteen Canteen Posted 16 June, 2009 Share Posted 16 June, 2009 for a start mlt lives hedge end way (but moving soon), not bournemouth or ringwood as mentioned on here. Keegan I have only read on here, would be surprised - but I would not rule anything out as I know Pinnacle are ambitious. As I said yesterday Ince has been approached that is all I know, im sure they have approached others but who I am not sure who. Hope you are right, Ince would represent a step forward as oppose to the usual joy of many on here of welcoming back an old boy. Its a logic I have never really understood as any player/manager is only really loyal to their current employers and diamonds like MLT are very rare. In this case KK's performances as a manager since his first stint as Newcastle manger have IMO been found seriously wanting and we want to appoint someone who turned their back on the game so completely he didn't even watch a game for 3 years after his time at Man City. Wouldn't be in front of any of the other 92 league managers and a few non league and out of work managers as well. The appointment of KK would not IMO represent ambition by Pinnacle but an Ashley like pot of money backed by a similar lack of judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintpat Posted 16 June, 2009 Share Posted 16 June, 2009 I have distinct reservations about Keegan, he has only been succesful(ish) when he has loads to spend compared to other teams around him. However he won't do any harm to the gate receipts at least at the start. What is more important is that whoever it is (Coppell being my choice-steady, reliable, used to working to a budget and unlikely to run away to a big club)- the manager needs to be given 2-3 years minimum to build a squad and put his own personality on the team. And most importantly the fans need to get behind the manager -whoever it is and give him time. Re-building of the team will take YEARS not months, there is NO quick fix whoever is manager.

madsent Posted 16 June, 2009 Share Posted 16 June, 2009 What is all this car park, layby business I keep reading about? Have I missed a trick? I think he's alluding to the beating he got from some baseball-bat wielding men when he was "sleeping" in his Land Rover in a lay-by in Reigate back in the early 90s. There were lots of rumours at the time about what he was actually doing in that particular lay-by considering it was notorious in the area for what is now known as "dogging".

Carlos Fandango Posted 16 June, 2009 Share Posted 16 June, 2009 Not sure if he's the right man for the job or not but it would certainly give the club a lift and sell some tickets, lets face it we could do with something to cheer. It could also help to unite all the fans behind the team for the first time in ages, especially if Matty is something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
once_bitterne Posted 16 June, 2009 Share Posted 16 June, 2009 Anyone who wouldn't want KK here needs sectioning. He was our biggest ever signing and part of the best team we ever had. It's also absurd to question his tactical nous as a manager. Just look for a second at his cv and see the promotions he has acheived. You don't do that if you are tactically inept.

the mick channon windmill Posted 16 June, 2009 Share Posted 16 June, 2009 The quality of players he has at this very moment won't matter... neither will it matter if he has any money or not. The simple fact is people want to play for Kevin Keegan and because of that, he will attract the very best players available to us as a club, budget permitting. This league does not require tactical nous, it requires grafters who are motivated by their manager. KK is a motivator and people will run through brick walls for him. He is the kind of person who can lead us right back up to the Premier League on a wave of optimism, and give this city and this club the buzz that has long since deserted it. He will unify everyone, even if there are doubters now. No matter what people say about him, he is a good football manager and is honest enough to know his limitations. He could turn this club around big style and if any of you think otherwise, well... crab lungs sums it up perfectly for me here, i was a very young nipper when keegan signed for us as a player but will never forget the buzz he brought to the dell and to the city. he raised the profile of the club to new heights and we need someone like him or strachan to come in and raise our profile again and get a buzz about the place again. i dont see why so many people are dismissing the idea simply because we have slipped into league 1. we are a high profile club with a huge fan base and bags of potential, keegan or strachan or the likes could well view it as an exciting challenge to get us back to the premier league and with a bit of money invested into the squad and the crowds flocking back success would be highly likely. so what if we are currently in league 1, with an owner with a bit of money to invest le tiss on the board and our ground, fan base and history we would be a very attractive option for a manager.

oldsarum Posted 16 June, 2009 Share Posted 16 June, 2009 and part of the best team we ever had. No he wasn't that came after he left and Shilton joined. In terms of results you are quite correct, but if you ask anyone who watched Saints when Keegan played us, it was in that period that we played the highest quality football we've ever played in my lifetime IMO (and i'm 50). During that period I went to home games not wondering if we'd win but wondering by how many goals, fans were dissapointed with a 1-0 win. It was all out attack week in week out. The 83/84 season,when we got to the the semi final and were runners up in the league was great (especially the Cup run beating Pompey etc.), but for all out entertainment the Keegan years have never been beaten.
