Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 These are the people in charge of this football club? I'm surprised they haven't called KK a stupidhead yet. Immature wankers, the lot of them. I didn't think it was possible for everybody to hate them even more. Do they think we're going to look at that statement, think "ah, they must be right" when they said the complete opposite not 3 months ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMoog 0 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 KK fighting back through LMA 06 Sep 2008Statement in respect of further comments from Newcastle United F.C. The directors of Newcastle United Football Club have late this evening issued a statement. The League Managers Association and Kevin Keegan made the following response. Richard Bevan, LMA chief executive, said: “Kevin Keegan’s chief complaint, amongst others, is that it was always agreed that the director of football could not impose a player that the manager did not want. This agreement has been broken and, notwithstanding the fact that the chairman at the time of Kevin Keegan’s appointment, the director of football and the owner of Newcastle United, have confirmed previously in public meetings and publications, that he would always have the final say.” Kevin Keegan said: “At the time at which I joined Newcastle United Football Club it was made very clear to me that I would have the final say on player movement in and out of the club.” The following quotes are reproduced from published articles: In the Evening Chronicle (Newcastle) on 1st February this year, Newcastle United’s executive director of football, Dennis Wise, said: “I am here to help Kevin as much as possible with bringing young players through and also recommending certain players to him. He will say yes or no. He has the final word. No-one else. I am not going to do things like bring players in behind his back. I am not into that. Everything that happens will be run past him and he will say yes or no.” In an interview that appears in the September edition of the official Newcastle United magazine Mike Ashley said: "If the deal is right - and that means the right player who Kevin wants - then we will do that deal. Kevin himself is very particular about who he wants. To use his words, they have to have the right heart for Newcastle. That is massively important for him. If they don't then he's not interested." For further information please contact: Richard Bevan, LMA Chief Executive, 07860 474 767 Where was this? Are the press evening paying any attention to it? Go Bevan!!!

sandman02uk 0 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I got a reply from Mort. RE: From: christopher.mort@freshfields.com Sent: Fri 9/05/08 9:05 AM To: leazeslad30@hotmail.com Thanks Steve Having brought KK back to NUFC, I am obviously very disappointed with recent developments. I have not had an involvement with NUFC or individuals there since early June and do not expect to have a role influencing where things go from here. Regards Chris Can't blame him for wanting fuck all to do with it. He seems a top bloke tbh. What did you send him? Hi Chris, I know you are a busy man so I won't take up too much of your time. I'm saddened by the fact you left your position at NUFC, the reason I am is because you are probably the best chairman we've had. You communicated with the fans, didn't tell us any lies, and made sure our thoughts and opinions were noted and acted upon. This new bloke Llambias, is the complete opposite, I don't think I've ever heard his voice, he's clearly not up to it, and this crisis this week, would never have happened had you still been here. It must be boring as fuck being a solicitor compared to the ups and downs as chairman at one of the biggest football clubs in Europe, so I think you should consider coming back, you are very popular on Tyneside, more so than Mr Ashley, and we feel you could steady the ship.

Guest alex Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Apart from the departure of KK and the lead-up to it and the causes etc. the way in which the club has dealt with things over the past 5 days shows how clueless they really are about NUFC and its relationship with the fans. They really couldn't have gauged public opinion any less accurately if they'd tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) It's so ridiculous it's like a bad dream that I just can't wait to end. I wish the Hull game had of been yesterday although if the club release anymore shite like they have I'm sure the feelings will be running as high if not higher come Saturday.
