There is no way in the world Ashley will sell now, he knew what would happen with getting rid of Keegan and went ahead any way, the bloke is utterly convinced this is the correct way to run a football club, also he isn't arsed about popularity - look at his history with grassing other retailers up etc. The bloke is a cunt and a single minded one at that. Being fair though, at least everyone in the management structure will be 100% aware and committed to the structure which may not be too bad a thing.

Sounds very plausable the story doesnt ring quite true with the official line of a letter being sent A letter will alsways be sent, less misunderstanding for constuctive dismissal

This could be bollocks but from Skunkers not the same source as the original Keegan resigns post. Sounds very plausable

This whole saga has been planned to perfection, international week, just after the transfer window etc. I would put money on a new manager being at the club within 7 days - a spanish one at that.

Don't get caught up in all this bollocks, footballers talk in one language only, if the money is right they will come. A bit like the field of dreams....

What mega signing were we promised?

Source? If they did sack Wise though on what grounds would it be? You can't just dismiss people on a whim without some come back from the person getting the boot. The only thing I can think of would be a redundency, that might work if his job no longer existed. A management re-structure which will offer Wise a position on the coaching staff and offer Jiminez and Vetere scouting roles. Of course, if they don't want to accept these new roles... Can you imagine Keegan's face if he Wise did accept that offer? I think he'd be along the line of "right you little fucker, I've got some jobs for you to do..........."

Wise has apperently been sacked.

Not sure he has now. Still don't think this will be resolved in the long run though. It's a complete fucking mess. Also, if the results aren't great (because let's face it, the squad isn't anything special) and we have a bad run the media will heap pressure upon KK regardless of the backing of the fans. Any little thing now will be blown up into a massive dispute etc. It doesn't look good either way. I still think he is gone, but I think if he stays there will be big chnages to prevent a reoccurence. I wouldnt think for a second Ashley or Keegan would let this happen again. Having typed that I realise the chanes of Keegan staying are even less than I thought If the problems are around the structure of the club there is no chance of Keegan staying, simply because they were put in place for continuitity from one manager to the next. If it's down to who has final say there could be some movement.

Spot on mate, I'd even venture to argue this has little to do with Wise, he's a footballing person (a horrible little shit as well like) and he will know from his time at Leeds that you can't not give the manager full control over signings - at worst I think communications may have buggered up between the two. I think Llambias has took exception to Keegan having a rant and being the owners mate has told Keegers to "fuck off". Then Keegan has took it serioulsy and gone now Ashley has to get involved to retrieve the situation. The proble I see is for Keegan to remain Llambias will have to go - not somthing I think Ashley will want to do.

I would still put money on him being away - the official statement stinks of deflecting the blame away from Ashley.

Setanta saying he has left

If only there was another electronic medium for fans to congregate and express their opinions.
