Kevin Keegan new Newcastle boss

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

KK has made Michael Owen Captain for the game good move says I

Why the hell KK continues to play with CARR!?!?

Why 5 defenders when Blton is in crisis..they lost Anelka and no Diouf! FFS Newcastle should win it easily!

COME ON NEWCASTLE (yeah i have 15 euros on them to win...)

I agree...

Owen is an ex euro player of the year.Clearly superior to the majority of the Newcastle players...

In fact excepted 4 or 5 players Newcastle,despite a good team is full of players that never win something!

1) We only have 10 senior outfield players fit, Carr is one of them so he is playing.

2) Owen hasn't played well for years, and you're saying he's one of our best players.


People on here need to get a clue before they open their mouths. It's embarrassing sometimes.

You really should try watching him before commenting. He is slow, lazy, weak, his first touch isn't very good, his link up play is poor. If i was manager he would be one of the first out the door. He's well past it.

Hmmmmmmmmmm....Kimbo your hard on Owen you should be treating him like a baby and make the blossom again......

3-5-2 when will keegan listen to me and really bring attacking football on the front stage again.. If your going to build a side that is attractive and entertaining this then needs to be in his plan....

Any ideas at who Keegan will bring in over the next 12 days?

I remember Keegan wanted to buy Daniel van Buyten during his time at Man City after a successful loan period, but he didn't have the funds to do so. I think he is available and he would certainly improve Newcastle's defence.

There are alot of rumours about, i've really no idea though. I've just had a thought though, if the mackems get relegated Kenwyne Jones would be a very good buy.

I should get that director of footbal job, not Dennis Wise.

"Europeanstyle management structure"

Honestly, what a load of tosh. Ferguson, Wenger and Rafa wouldn't work in that regime, why should Keegan. Ultimately Mourinho and Jol were very unhappy with the fact their was a director of football above them, it led to their downfalls.

Keep the hierarchy basic.

I don't like it either tbh. But Keegan to me is looking old, tired and slightly mental - if a role like this will help take the load off then i may welcome it.

Keegan has been outside of football for a while, I doubt his knowledge of the player network is that great. If Keegan chooses the person for the role, it could work.

That was probably one of the worst football matches I've seen. I fell asleep numerous times during that 'football game'.

Alright I'm not blaming Keegan for what he has is still the remains of Fat Sam's mess. Let's give Kev a good run, let's say seven full matches to see what he has in store. Like I said much earlier, it's a whole different ballgame nowadays, he's not up against talentless hoofers like in the 90's, those have been replaced by proper footballers although some shite disguised as footballers still remains.

Let's hope there are no more matches like this one. Fortunately there are no more Bolton-Newcastle matches left in the season, two teams that Fat Sam imbecile got his hands on.

After the game he wiped his nose with his hand and then immediately shook hands with Gary Megson.
He didn't disappoint with cliches in the after match interview 'at the end of the day' e.t.c. but sadly we didn't get 'it's a game of two halves' because both halves were the same i.e. Cr@p. Great to have him back and I mean that most sincerely.

Did you really watch the game Puro? The reason it was boring and the reason we didn't win was because Bolton were sitting deep and hoofing the ball. Proper football my arse. Also you admit to not watching in the 90s, so don't bother giving an opinion on it.

But it was a bit of a game of two halves in a way, the first half was utterly dire and the second not quite so dire. Newcastle played some all right football but couldn't quite get through, didn't have enough ideas – then Bolton had the best chance.

Which Keegan admitted himself, saying a draw was a fair result, didn't even try claiming his team was the better side, which on the strength of the second half he could have and most other managers would have. Refreshingly honest and good to have him back.

(Even if I won't see those two hours I spent watching that match again )

Has sanity begun to prevail?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7209250.stm

This is absolutely the first move Keegan had to make if he was serious about his second managerial stint at Newcastle working.

I still think Shearer's arrogance is unbelievable - he 'doesn't see himself as a number 2' despite zero managerial experience - but if he can get over his ego, a couple of years as a strikers coach would be a superb, solid grounding for a managerial career.

This old news, i don't know why it's getting so much coverage. Arthur Cox was brought in as number 2 last week, so ofcourse Shearer wasn't getting that job.

Yeah but this is floating the possibility of some other role for Shearer.

If he can lower himself to accept it of course.

Personally I think he'll only be happy if he's chairman, manager and team captain as well...

Wise 'to be offered Magpies role'
-----------------

Leeds United boss Dennis Wise will be offered a role as Newcastle's director of football, BBC Leeds understands.
A Leeds spokesperson would only confirm that Wise will be in charge of the team for Tuesday's game at Southend.

Wise, 41, who played for England under Keegan, has guided Leeds into play-off contention in League One despite them starting the season on minus 15 points.

That penalty followed their going into administration and being relegated, and money remains tight at Elland Road.

Shearer with a coaching role and Wise as director of football.

Is he trying on purpose to ruin his reputation.

Wise will show Barton how to behave himself.

Also, NUFC will end up with a squad of 222 players at the end of this window (if you believe the press.)

To be fair to Wise, he seems a little more sensible now than he was as a player, he has good coaching experience, and his managerial record is good. I don't really understand us moving for him, and I don't understand what he would actually do for us in a director of football role - the presumption will be that he will help us tactically, because I certainly can't see him having any huge influence on transfers, and he's not going to come to be a glorified scout, I imagine he will have some hands-on role.

I guess I just don't know enough about what Wise is good at to know whether this move is a good idea. At the moment it just seems odd. I could much more understand us bringing him in as a coach - the director of football suggestion confuses me, doesn't seem Keegan's style (though obviously he will know what he's hoping to get).

Employing a fully qualified coach as coach, and a successful manager at a bankrupt club as director of football? Oh how dare he.

A coach who's never coached before or shown any insight of being a succesful one going by his punditry on MotD. Plus a coach who has no area of expertise on Directing a football club, plus he's only ever been succesful at League One level.

How do you know? Have you played with with him or even been on the training pitch with him? Everyone who has seems to have a different opinion. Please don't tell me you're basing this on 20 seconds a week on punditry.

Being a director of football is all about budgeting for players, scouting for players, and chasing players. Who are you to say Wise isn't good at that? This is just another chance for a petty dig, despite the fact that you have no idea about the qualifications of either of these guys.

So neither have any experience of either job, yet you think thats a good thing?

Dennis Wise does have experiance of being a director of football, it was part of his job at leeds. It's just that it would be more specialized if he came here. And what harm can it do to give Shearer a coaching job and see how good he is? It's not like he's being made manager, we're not as stupid as say... Sunderland.
