ya 10 mins ago he went down to 1.05 on betfair.

Melion · 16-01-2008 05:27PM

On SSN now

Mad decision by Newcastle i think

gimmick · 16-01-2008 05:29PM

An absolutely idiotic decision. Truly a comedy club.

Raekwon · 16-01-2008 05:31PM

These re-appointments never usually work out. Think Graham Taylor at Villa and Howard Kendall at Everton.

BaZmO* · 16-01-2008 05:31PM

I would LOVE it if he was the new manager, LOVE it!

radiospan · 16-01-2008 05:33PM

No mention yet of Shearer being involved (that would only be worse, IMO)

GuanYin · 16-01-2008 05:33PM

The premierships total goals tally is about to go up 10%

Killme00 · 16-01-2008 05:33PM

At least they wont have to worry about defending anymore

Mr Alan · 16-01-2008 05:34PM

they've also just tabled bids for Pavel Sirnicek, warren barton, phillipe albert and fausitino asprilla?! i'd say Fergie is ****ting it

past is the past newcastle, to go forward as a club, believe it or not, you need to actually go forward, not backwards.

PHB · 16-01-2008 05:34PM

I like Keegan, I wish him well. It'll be good fun to have him in the premiership again. I love the logic, he's done it once, he can do it again! I really hope he's given lots of money, it was always great to watch Newcastle, amazing going forward, terrible defending, and as such always great games.

DSB · 16-01-2008 05:35PM

Shearer will most likely be involved. Newcastle are definitely trying to make up for Manchester having Coronation Street, Liverpool having Brookside and London having Eastenders, so they've created their own hilarious soap.

I'd say 'pool fans can't wait for the 4-3s either.

Madness decision.

GrumPy · 16-01-2008 05:41PM

As a huge fan, I dont know what to think..... It's like watching a horrible train wreck being a Newcastle fan, you just cant stop looking

I'm honestly gob-smacked..... Dunno if this is the rise, or fall of the club.

We will either be in The championship next season, or in the top 6.

Melion · 16-01-2008 05:43PM

I seriously think they are going to be relegated with this decision.

I like Keegan and i dont mind Newcastle but together now they just arent going to work. His style of football is long gone, its a totally different game even to when he was the City manager.

top 6 of the championship!!

jobonar · 16-01-2008 05:45PM

A serious step backwards.... As said already these re-appointments rarely work out.... Why re-hire someone to a job they've been fired from!? They should've gone all out for Deschamps or Houllier, something different

prendy · 16-01-2008 05:45PM

lol ya its gonna be fun to watch!!
4-3 here we come!
i actually hope he does well....they deserve some success up there.

14/1 to be relegated with Paddy Power if you are that confident they will implode...

no team "deserves" success.

Success is earned, they haven't earned it.

Melion · 16-01-2008 05:47PM

This is shocking me. All the Newcastle fans are emailing in to SSN saying this is the best possible decision for the team, this is hilarious.

citytillidie · 16-01-2008 05:48PM

Newcastle games might be good with his all out attack

Cyrus · 16-01-2008 05:48PM

its like liverpool rehiring roy evans, we played better football and were closest to winning the league under him

still i like keegan, hope it works out, the bar code fans seemed to want him

whatawaster · 16-01-2008 05:48PM

i think it's a decent appointment. At least he can't make them any worse. And they'll be good to watch. You just know he'll play Martins, Owen, Duff and Milner in the same team, which Houllier or Allardyce never would have done, so they'll have plenty of goal threat.

The only goal under threat will be Shay's
