I would like to point out something to the first person who posted about 
Keegan leaving having read some of the comments made about Alex Ferguson and 
his first four years i have to concur that Keegan should be given til the 
end of the season at the very least.

The thing i think that one or two people here are forgetting is that Wise is 
a person quite capable of dealing with players and its more than possible 
the Managing Director wants to put so much emphasis on Newcastle losing that 
he can then sell off the property himself, after all it has happened before 
in the North East where a developer made a profit.  For myself personally i 
think there is more afoot here than meets the eye... after all if you were 
going to hire a Director of Football like Dennis Wise wouldnt you have told 
Keegan your manager about it first.

I think what will happen is that Keegan has been shafted by the guy that he 
wanted to bring in just for the sake of looking after Fans interest.  Keegan 
may last til the end of the season but may discover that he is surplus to 
requirements at the end of the season with Dennis Wise filling in the job by 
the end of the summer.

Look forward to hearing from the Newcastle fans about this.... i have been 
to Newcastle myself and know the strength and passion of the Geordie 
Faithful ... i hope that Keegan does stay and that his footballing knowledge 
and attacking flair pulls through and that football in the North East gets a 
taste of glory and pride back on the Pitch.  After all i as a Londoner dont 
just want to see Man United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal go for the title, 
lets see the Geordies bring it to the Premiership.

Come On Newcastle.........

eh, who's said anything about keegan leaving anyway?

do you really think keegan didnt know about a DoF coming in? i'm sure
he did, he just may have not known it would be Wise, hence not being
able to comment on it.

don't believe anything you read in the national media about nufc,
because you can guarantee that it will be 99% bollocks.

Wise is there for the exact reasons the club have stated he is there,
not as some sort of managerial replacement.

i mean bloody hell, the guy's not exactly got a glittering CV in that
department anyway!

i'm not meaning to sound like i'm having a go at you mate, cos i'm
not, it's just the constant shit-stirring by the national press that
gets my goat.

we've brought in 3 people this week to complement keegan's position as
manager, it's much the same arrangement that Spurs have with Commioli,
or Chelsea have with Frank Arnesen.

if the national media really think these guys have been brought in
without keegan's prior knowledge, they're even more clueless and wide
of the mark than usual.
