Kevin Keegan has been sacked by Newcastle .... What a way to treat someone who has to sell all his best players and has been given hardly any money for new players at a club with magnificent supporters.....DE JA VU

 

To top it off , They've nearly had as many managers as us !!

He wasn't happy about Milner being sold, but if you could get 12 million for a decidedly average player, you would, wouldn't you?

 

Thank fook someone who, like me is astounded JM commanded a 12m price tag

I was going to post this this morning under a separate heading, realised it was not saints related, so put it on the end of one on the takeovers thread. Surprised this is here to be honest. LOCK!

makes me laugh when i think of all those idiots dancing around outside the stadium when he came back as manager.

 

They are almost as big a shambles as we are.

 

Except that they dared to dream and dance a bit, where we just reside ourselves to a foreverness of poo poo.

It'll be: "mutual consent".....surely?

 

Would have been my guess but that's what they just said. They should say something else soon.

It's probably been the worst kept secret in football that Ashley wants out at Newcastle and despite his promises doesn't actually have enough money to take them forward to the land he promised.

 

Hmm where we heard that before?

 

Hopefully KK will get a nice big pay-off but will NOT be offered a big lump of equity in SLH to become our DoF

 

But 12 mil for Milner - lol - keep the faith with the kids Rupe's we're gonna be rich!

Keegan and Newcastle part company

 

 

_44980453_kk226_index.jpg Keegan also managed the club between 1992 and 1997

 

Manager Kevin Keegan has left Newcastle United after only eight months in charge, BBC Radio 5 Live understands.

Speculation had been mounting over the 57-year-old's unhappiness with a lack of control over transfer activity.

The club's only business on transfer deadline day was a £5.7m swoop for Spanish striker Xisco and the loan signing of midfielder Ignacio Gonzalez.

The former England boss rejoined the Magpies in January, having managed at St James' Park between 1992 and 1997.

Newcastle are 11th in the Premier League having picked up just four points from their opening three games.

More soon.

KK has been mucked about by Ashley - would you accept a job as manager and then be happy when Dennis Wise is appointed to decide what players you will have in your team?

 

Only surprise is he lasted this long - good luck Kevin, and screw them for every penny you can.

 

Newcastle will be at St Mary's next season even if KK isn't.

 

Guess Shearer's phone is ringing - he'll be a fool to go tho'.

He wasn't fired. He did a, umm, "Keegan" and walked out!!

 

Sky sports just said he was fired... Ah well, i guess the point is he's gone. Does it have a significant effect on his pay out if he walks or gets fired?

No idea. If his contract said he had authority on buying players and he wasn't had that, then perhaps he could argue he left the post because it wasn't conforming to his job description, but I am guessing.

Wise has told Ashley of out Total football and The Dutch revolution here at Southampton

and appears very interested. I just hope we have got JP tied to a very long lucrative contract otherwise most of us fanatical supporters will have nothing to debate.

no they are saying that hasn't even been officially confirmed as yet.

 

Didn't he throw his Teddy in the corner in the first few months of his first stint over a retraction in funds made available to him. Didn't they have to phone him half way down the M1 and give him more money to spend or he wouldn't come back? Is he doing it again?

Oh how I'm looking forward to the scenes of overweight, shirtless Geordies waiting to greet their new manager...Denis Wise? Harry Bassett? Harry Redknapp? They're a big club you know.

 

I gather Portsmouth was the club keen to take Joey Barton in a player swap but balked at being asked for an extra £4 million. Figures.

Kevin and being ex Saints definitely isn't the flavour of the week. First Kevin Bond Monday, then Kevin Keegen Tuesday, so who's next???

SSN is as confused as the rest of us. Is he sacked? Is he not sacked? Do we really care?

 

Lolage at the Newcastle fan on the cutaway on SSN drinking the White Stripe and then pouring it over everyone.
