Bringing Keegan Back

[Fop 1]

the fact also remains (whatever way you look at it) he has walked away from all his managerial jobs.

 

Wrong!

Citeh?

Plus you can hardly call getting the England job walking away from Fulham.

 

 

Well you can but you've got to be a sports journalist, a psychotic dwarf or Mike Ashley.

 

He resigned from City.

 

I'll concede point about not walking away from Fulham as he was going to the England job.

 

The point about the clamour for the England job as I seem to recall (but not very well) is that there was no-one English that anyone else wanted. Plus to be honest you can't really judge how well he was doing at the top level considering Fulham weren't in the Premiership at the time.

 

 

He said he wouldn't sign a contract extension, and so it was mutually agreed he'd go early and get someone else in.

 

 

 

He has walked away from Newcastle because he's been mislead and lied to twice, but he can't really be blamed for that.

 

 

 

The Keegan walks away myth is as much a NUFC myth as us always having a shocking defence (which was still the case in the seasons when we were right up there defensively), us preferring to lose 3-4 than win by a goal or draw, that only a Geordie manager can be "accepted" or that the fans think we're going to win the league/cup/world series.
