Gemmill 34137 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I couldn't make it in the end, but from the photos I've seen of my mates, and the stuff I've heard, it sounds like a great night. He hung around for fucking ages signing any and everything for everyone there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 It's a strange thing, maybe I'm wrong but I've noticed KK loves talking about us, maybe it's not just about money? Let's not turn this into anything else!!!!! I've met KK personally many times and love him to bits. I've even been to his house! I also know that circus thing was bleeding him dry and it would be a shame if, IF, IF he has to do this circuit to pay the bills, given the superb career he's had.

When he used to go shopping with his mrs at the metro centre his wife would be demented because he would get sidetracked talking to fans about all things Newcastle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19714 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 It's after dinner speaking by the looks of it. Pays a fortune. I doubt he's reeling out the one liners to make ends meet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14477 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 He's doing Dorchester Town next month, a few of us are going. I spoke to the organiser this week and according to him KK only does about 4 of these a year, no doubt this information would have come from KKs agent? http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/11196390.Football_legend_Kevin_Keegan_in_Dorchester_dinner_date/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5873 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I wouldn't swear to it but I think the football circus swallowed up most of that. He was struggling with it when he came back to us. I wouldn't swear to it but I think you might have just made that up on the spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I wouldn't swear to it but I think you might have just made that up on the spot It was pretty much a well known fact before he took over that the project was in financial difficulty.

Gemmill 34137 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Aye tbf to CT, I've also read that his circus thing was a hole into which he sunk an awful lot of money, and it failed. You certainly don't hear about him doing this stuff a lot though, so hopefully he's not having to do it to make ends meet. I know that the reason I will never be a millionaire is cos I don't have these people's drive and work ethic, but I wish these blokes could learn to be a bit more like me when they've finally made their millions, and just rest on their laurels.

ewerk 26103 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 He got a £2m payoff after the tribunal. I can't see him doing after dinner speaking to a few hundred people of keep the lights on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34137 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 He could write a book called I'd Love It If Mike Ashley Died and he'd never have to work again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19714 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Fucking disgraceful stories about Jiminez et al. Telling Modric's agent he wasn't good enough for the league when he fancied the move and Keegan wanted him. The difference is Keegan was never going to put up with it. Pards is just happy to be here.

Kid Dynamite 5873 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 It was pretty much a well known fact before he took over that the project was in financial difficulty. That's my point, he lost money in it prior to joining us. He then won £2mil compo years later. The football circus stuff was long gone by then iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34137 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 It's a terrible name for a business venture btw. Calling anything a circus unless it's an actual circus seems a really bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34137 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22150925 That article confirms its still going, but that it was £5m in the development. The thing that the article is about btw - a portable wall that you carry in a case for £99k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3176 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Circus is still going I think It is so it hasn't financially sunk him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 It is so it hasn't financially sunk him. No ones claiming its sunk him. It's just I would have thought he could fill better venues that South Shields Yellow Welly / Hedworth Hall. Hopefully he's rich as fuck and can do whatever he likes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3176 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Haven't heard the audio that goes with this but a bit sad for KK that he's had to end up doing the club circuit. Should have been set up for life given his career. Did the football circus bankrupt or nearly bankrupt him? So you are claiming it you shit eating prick.

My only point is that I hope he doesn't end up "having" to appear in every small pub. Should be filling the Arena or City hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder you went from CEO to taxi driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
