Park Life 70 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Maybe he'll come back, and give the new owner an envelope with £2m in it (to be used for transfers obsv)...and everything will be good again. Parky will agree with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) The people pointing out the hypocrisy of Collymore calling anyone a mercenary are spot on. Agree with Tim as well btw. To dismiss KK out of hand would be short-sighted in the extreme. That said, I really can't see another return for him.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 The pure idiocy and hypocrisy of this one time footballing mercenary and convicted sex case is utterly laughable.Can the Mirror not employ proper journalists or at least people of repute rather than this bumbling idiotic woman beater?

ewerk 26441 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I've read a few articles from the Collymore archive, what a complete tosser. Kevin Keegan is the only man who can save Newcastle now By Stan Collymore 15/09/2008 and one week later, Steve Bruce is the only manager who can save Newcastle now Published 00:00 22/09/08 Fucking idiot.

Kitman 2188 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Collymore has shit for brains. No doubt he just sits down and blathers about the first thing that enters the cavernous space in his head, and some poor sap has to jot it down and turn it into copy.

Happy Face 29 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 I didn't really want to click the link. It's the number of hits this horseshit gets that keeps getting him space to spout it. Since I was bored enough to do so, here's the text so no-one else has to... Greedy Kevin Keegan is more mercenary than Messiah Kevin Keegan has won his case for constructive dismissal against Newcastle but I think he has been a mercenary screwing his old club for every penny possible. A lot of callers to my phone-in said they were pleased to see Keegan awarded £2million from Magpies’ owner Mike Ashley after resigning in September 2008. And Keegan is, of course, right to feel forced out given the way the club’s then director of football Dennis Wise and Ashley brought in players against his wishes. To learn Keegan was asked to sign an obscure Uruguayan midfielder based on blurred clips on YouTube as a favour to two South American agents is remarkable. But the ruling in Keegan’s favour still means he is taking a lot of money out of the cash-strapped Championship club. He originally asked for a ridiculous £25m from Newcastle, despite lasting only eight months back at the club in his ill-fated second reign. That is more than £1m for each of the 21 games he presided over - and they only won six of them. So this one-eyed notion that Keegan is still the Messiah in the north-east is simply astonishing. I suggest if he really did bleed black and white that he would have walked away with a couple of hundred grand, which would have been more than adequate. Instead he has taken out £2m he barely deserves from a club that can hardly afford it following relegation. The club would surely have been better putting that dosh to towards buying a striker like Matty Fryatt or Jermaine Beckford. But to many fans on Tyneside, Keegan remains the victim and Ashley the villain. Ashley’s running of the club will certainly go down in history as the way NOT to do things. The fact Newcastle are top of the Championship following relegation owes more to good fortune than good management by Ashley. But people in the game can appreciate Keegan must take some of the blame for the club’s woes as well. And Newcastle fans should wake up and realise that too.

Sonatine 10007 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Those rugby players that played for Bath had the right idea when they gave him a good shoeing, idiot of a man. Although i did find the story of him drilling a hole in his bedroom ceiling so he could get his rocks off watching his mates bang various lasses they'd picked up quite funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 On 20 October 2008, in a landmark case that may have set a precedent for cases in the future, Collymore won more than £1.5m in damages from his financial advisers, for the poor investment advice he had been given since retiring from professional football in 2001. The judge ruled that Collymore had indeed been given advice that was in breach of statutory obligations. I did not know that. Mercenary cunt.

NJS 3985 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I love this idea that gaining favour with these Agents was worth the Gonzales deal/pissing KK off. First of all undefined "youngsters" from SA who are any good would be more likely to go elsewhere and secondly as has been said this was the culmination of a transfer window which had left the squad criminally weak - as proven by its relegation (when combining the weakness with a fuckwit manager). I would also now like to have a look at what agents were used on the other deals and what their links with Jiminez and Vetere are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I found that pretty as well. As though we were going to get first option on the cream of young South American talent. And even if we were ahead of Real Madrid, Barcelona et al (which is bollocks anyway) Ashley would only be interested anyway if they were cheap as chips.

Guest Stevie Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Keegan is a mercenary! My mind has now been changed after reading this insightful article here by Stanley Collymore. He always seems to get it right about NUFC, there's no way he's bitter or anything. Some canny replies I liked too. Biggest prick in football bar none. He's actually on my msn believe it or not, and I most of you don't but during talksport he puts it on, and invites people to message him, so I told him he's a depressive, woman beating, disgrace to this nation, who should be sacked on the spot for saying Villa are bigger than Arsenal, and his reply was along the lines of my mother being a prostitute. He's a total cunt. 38 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably is aye, although a lot of South Americans seem to have dual nationality. Like Nobby The point is though that Wise is being allowed to spout this sort of thing on Sky etc. where it's being taken at face value. How would that set of cowboys have the sort of connections that would allow them to get the top South American youngsters anyway? They want to be taken to task for being that easily taken in if they actually believed what this agent was telling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
