I also remember those great times ......as I recall,had it not been for Morans dodgy back, we would have Won the League, instead of being 3 points short .......

Channon's Sideburns Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 Anyone else think that Illingsworth was just trying to cover himself when answering those questions? So in the future whatever happens, he can say 'I was right'????? Comparing Wotte (who btw I would like to see stay) and Keegan is just madness....I get his point over budgeting, but Keegan's Fulham side was NOT made up of £1M players.... Seem to remember ****erill, Kev Moore, Martin Thomas etc were involved...perhaps overhanging from the Branfoot era there...but come on...surely if we RETAIN players like Kelvin and Rasiak it's the same as signing £1m players??

SaintRichmond Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 I for one would be well chuffed with KK!! Well chuffed! Coincidence ???? All those years ago, Lawrie McMenemy unvieled Keegan as a Saints PLAYER... Now, 2009, Keegan may be unvieled as the Saints MANAGER ...... IMHO, I would suggest Lawrie Mac being involved somewhere along the line .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 First sign of criticism more like it and as we are all so loyal and supportive he would be lucky to make October. Keegan will be fine as long as he has a decent right hand man/assistant manager. The good news is that even if he is successful it is unlikely he would leave us for someone else, since he has been in most of the top jobs already, I think only us and Scunny would tempt him out of managerial retirement.

saints triumph Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 Would be a big buzz for us. Will bring 99.9% of fans back, united. The best bit for me is that the guys involved with our takeover, have been in disscussions with KK, which in turn means things are happening. The feel good factor is coming to SOUTHAMPTON soon.

Legod Third Coming Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 When (His) Team are winning, he's fine ..... (most people would be) But when results go against him, and he has to MANAGE, he disintegrates like a cardboard box in a thunderstorm ........ NOT the one for me, I'm afraid ....... (so therefore he's a nailed on certainty) Just go to Wikipedia, it's available free on the net, and check how many games he has won wherever he's been manager. Apart from with England his record is exceptional. We can only dream of a manager with Keegan's record. No chance. Take Newcastle - who achieved their highest ever league finish? People who believe the media cobblers about Keegan and his 'failure' never cease to amaze me. All the information is freely available to all the world. On results, he is one of the country's top managers. When football is played in the Daily Mirror and the Sun I will start to listen to them, until then I think I'll trust the wins and promotions...

SaintBobby Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 I can't believe there is anyone who is negative about the Keegan possibility. The worst that can be said is that he has occasionally been temperamental. But - look - he is a manager of great quality, and has probably only been omitted from the "who do you want?" polls because it was considered impossible to get him.

This would be fantastic either way. Shearer or Keegan as Manager with Dowie as First-Team Coach would give us fans a massive lift. All have past connections with the club, and it would be great to have real football people running the club both at Boardroom level and on football matters too. Still, I will remain cautiously optimistic until I see everything finalised on the OS. Don't think we should get too ahead of ourselves just yet!

It would be an unbelievable moment for this club. exactly how I feel. What a shot in the arm that would be. The club is desperately in need of a change of momentum and KK would offer just that. Obviously it doesn't mean we will suddenly become successful, but at a time when we are extremely fragile and there is still a genuine risk that we could go down next season we can start considering Saints in a positive light at last. I just wonder also if players like Surman and Lallana might think twice before taking moves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I heard happened weeks ago, with KK turning it down for what ever reason. Whether he has had a change of heart I have no idea, but from from Pinnacles denial it looks a no no and all this is just a rehash from the preliminary approach, which has all been put to bed?

Little buggers were a hive of activity quaffing down extra bananas and double cucumber portions, pumping a few weights and doing the rock climb maze, now they seem to have gone and bloomin well inverse hybernated, just when they were needed. There is a technical Tortoise term for it - hybernating when it hits +45C rather than the -45 up your way. So you missed the other one? - bending down very low to find something that wasn't all that much use first time around then Clue, it wasn't stooping down it was more "hidden dragon" ish, but hey only a day ahead of the press - it's actually just the time difference you see TSW tour contiunues apace this evening, Seaview was rocked, Bullfrogs & Jaegers were quaffed so just a quiet one tonight, and BOY is there a load of dirt on Nickh's team talks and tactics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tachikoma Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 Keegan "not having tactical nous" is a myth perpetuated by the media, imo. He was a far better manager than anyone Newcastle has had in the last five years, and the 4-3-3 he introduced towards the end of 2007/2008 was a stroke of tactical genius if anything.

NickG Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 not sure which thread to put this on! very surprised that this is true but it shows three things 1) ambition of club 2) finances - he isn't cheap 3) attraction of working for MLT. I have heard KK is very keen, but he might not be the first choice! Also he has re-emplyment conditions from leaving Newcastle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
