What you are missing here that perhaps at City he found that the game in England has changed and his old tactics didnt work , sorry but people like Rafa has really come into buisness where there are other things then just motivating players and creating environment.
Anyway good luck to KK.
To be honest i don't think either Owen or Oba would be ideal for him, both are quite small and aren't great at getting on the end of crosses. Viduka would be ideal if he was younger, nowadays it's like watching an Ox play upfront.Emmanuel Adebayor wrote:Surely though he will still contribute more to team play than Owen would? You could also argue that Oba didn't really get to make those runs due to the formation that Big Sam was playing. I personally think him and Viduka both had good footballing brains as does Emre who does not seem to be rated at all.
Do you not reckon Barton will be kept providing he does not end up in prison?
I would purchase someone like Samaras to play up top. Great footballing brain and as someone has said is young and has a great future ahead given the chance.
Not really sure about the other signings though

Barton is a goner IMO. Unless Keegan sees him as a David Batty type figure, but it's unlikely. He's really not very talented, and the fans hate him. Emre is too weak for a 442 i reckon, especially as Keegan doesn't really do defensive midfielders. Plus there are rumours that he wants out, this might change with Sam leaving though.
Samaras i could see, but i was thinking of Darren Bent, obviously Spurs would ask for a gay fee but he is a Keegan type of striker. Fast, strong, holds the ball up and a decent poacher. Samaras would be alot cheaper though so might be a good choice.
@ Otto
Rehagal and Newcastle? That would be a match made in hell. Take a dull defensive coach and put him in a club that hates that type of football. Great idea.
ah come on. that record with man city doesn't bear comparison to promotion, 4 successive top 10 premiership finishes and 2 league cup wins with leicester, however impressive the promotion campaign was. and i'd also argue it's more of an achievement to make bolton or charlton into solid premiership teams than it is man city.Bashmachkin wrote:I disagree Savante. For a start, Keegan still did a good job at City - it just wasnt as exceptional as the job he did at Newcastle. He got City promoted to the Premier League, breaking their points and goals scored records in the process, led them to a ninth placed finish, and then to sixteenth in the league, which constitutes a record comparable in itself to anything any of Redknapp, Curbishley, O'Neill, Allardyce have done.

The problem at this level are the details...
Take a look at MU.Tactically there's absolutely nothing incredible! a good old 4-4-2 with two great wingers...two offensive RB and LB and 2 strong DC.
The thing is to know if Keegan is good enough to explain to his players how to be placed on the box during offensive/defensive free kicks/corners ect ect...
That's maybe these kind of things Allardyce wanted from his players and maybe he forgot to tell them to (sometimes) play football! With keegan no doubt the players will have more tactical freedom and will surely be better to watch.But at the end of the day only results count.Good luck to him..Seems a nice guy.

Obviously they have to do something pronto about the defence. You can see that it's finally getting to Given - he's been shambles this season. You'd have thought removal of Bramble would have improved matters immeasurably but evidentlu not
aye, a fair analysis. what he's also got on redknapp, hughes, et al is that he's got far more experience of big jobs than them. and there's no doubt that newcastle manager is a big, high pressure jobBashmachkin wrote:debaser wrote:ah come on. that record with man city doesn't bear comparison to promotion, 4 successive top 10 premiership finishes and 2 league cup wins with leicester, however impressive the promotion campaign was. and i'd also argue it's more of an achievement to make bolton or charlton into solid premiership teams than it is man city.
Ive had a little look, and just to do a sum up of what each manager achieved -
O'Neill got Leicester up in the playoffs, and in his time they came ninth, tenth, tenth and eighth, and won two league cups. With Porsmouth, Redknapp won them promotion and they battled relegation for three seasons before coming ninth last season. Allardyce brought Bolton up in the playoffs and after three relegation battles they achieved eighth and sixth placed finishes. The high points in Curbishleys time with Charlton were ninth and seventh placed finishes, and they went straight down once he left them.
Id agree that, with the consistency of their finishes and with their two cup wins, Leicesters record under O'Neill is the best of the lot, and it betters what Keegan achieved at Man City - but I dont think it betters it by a huge amount. What marks Keegans reign out from the rest most of all is just that it was a shorter reign - besides that, the records are very similar. And whilst he spent a lot of money - though not an excessive amount, in that he spent what came in, what he essentially brought in through winning City promotion and keeping them in the Premier League - I think its fair to suggest that, of the lot, Citys team under Keegan did play the best football.
Basically Im just arguing that even with City, when Keegan was supposedly on the decline or being found out, his achievements do bear comparison with the achievements of the other English managers about at the moment - that this in itself suggests that Keegan will cope fine with managing in the Premier League today - that its reason enough to appoint him over the likes of Redknapp - that Keegan has succeeded at every club he has been at.

I think Smith is a goner myself, he's a striker that doesn't score and a midfielder that can't pass. Squad player at best.
