Happy Face

More likely the club will sue him.

Back down on what exactly? The Transfer window is closed. No-one's been sold that he wanted to keep, not since he said it was his choice to sell Milner anyway. Keegan has happily gone along with the set-up for 8 months They're the ones that made this mess, they need to fix it. If they made promises to Keegan and haven't followed through with them then had the cheek to call his bluff when he's blown up about it then they need to back down and admit they were wrong. I don't see Kev returning though because it'd always be underlying now and the press would never leave it alone, Kev couldn't work with Fat Ashley and Wise. IF, and it's a big if, Ashley was going to try and sort it out he'd need to dismiss Wise as a gesture that Keegan isn't being undermined. Aye. It's all if's. The only thing we know is Keegan hasn't been sacked and his most recent comments have been about how happy he was with player acquisitions and departures up until Saturday. I don't know if Keegan's been misled, but he's been lying to the fans one way or another. I don't understand, are you supporting Ashley in all this? It's a time to come together people. I can see you goose stepping down the Champs-Élysées back in '41 "Come on people, just go along with it".

If you believe the stories the club are intent on giving the fans what they want (Smith & Barton out) while Keegan is hindering that....and Keegan gets all the fans support.

Bobby Robson for chairman. Arthur Cox for DOF.

Sorry to break with the party line on this, but the thread was getting a bit stale and one sided without any updates.

I'm just postulating on the facts we have. Keegan can't argue it's like the Swindon resignation, because he'd only been in the job a few weeks then. 8 months is a long time to go before realising you don't have the control you need. Half of that time being an open transfer window. I know it's sacreligious, but maybe it was Keegan's mistake to agree to the job as advertised in the first place.

Seems to me given the information available.... Keegan has said "Fuck this!" The club have said "Fine, give us our £1M for breach of contract" Keegan's said "Eh? Fuck off! (Aside - here joan, get me lawyer on the phone to look through this contract)" The club: "We'll expect you in training tomorrow" Keegan: "Ah fuck, these boys are smarter than John Hall when it comes to writing a contract. I can't afford to stick to me guns on this one. Say nowt"

Could they actually manage to spin this to make Keegan the bad guy. I'm confused and tired.

Barton should text SSN with what's going on.

it was the guys who bought into city it was meant tobe us , but made a u-turn at the last moment . on another note , funny how everyones opinions on this board have changed since i last posted , some of you feel like right twats now i imagine . Is it not just the Steve McMahon dudes?

I sincerely hope he's far from happy and will learn his lesson by reappointing Mort and Keegan and buying everyone in Newcastle a box of Mingles. I was wondering more about him considering cutting loose altogether.

Given that Ashley's plan was to have a chairman run the place and take a back seat I wonder how happy he is with the amount of his time the club is taking up and whether he's happy to let his other business concerns take a back seat.

Except that this proves they've been spot on about all the discontent behind the scenes.

I wish Keegan had been the object of one of them fly on the wall documentries the last few days.

You mean why's it wise to have Wise DOFwise?

Is that a compilation or a band? I'm listening to Steven Fry's new Podgram. A superb rant that's brought a big smile to my face at the end of a depressing day.

I know Wise is an odious little pric, but I don't see why he's getting so much stick. He's just the fucking Academy scout.

Exactly the theory I postulated earlier. Hope your source didn't get it from there.

Just a moment of perspective. I'm visiting my dad in hospital tonight. He was in intensive care last Tuesday and had half his bowel removed. ...and he's shitting himself about what's gone on today.

I wonder if his daughters will enjoy the games now that their dad will be called a fat useless cunt at every opportunity.

Name a stand after him. Quick.

Can I break his leg first?
