Kevin Keegan Returns To Newcastle Utd.
Re: Kevin Keegan Returns To Newcastle Utd.
Another job he'll leave unfinished.
The should have given Shearer the job, because no decent manager is going to take it on until Shearer has tried and failed.
While ever this "Shearer will come one day and eveything will be wonderful" mentality exists, no manager is going to be allowed a decent crack at the job. Get him out of the way.

We have need of you again, great king.
Re: Kevin Keegan Returns To Newcastle Utd.
I'd imagine that Shearer will be brought in to assist, giving him a chance of managerial and coaching experience before getting the job himself.
Another mistake, I think. Houllier would have been the brave choice.

Re: Wor Kevin
Always liked him, even at Liverpool, but not the wisest choice. At Newcastle he had some class players in Ginola and Rob Lee, but there's no-one at the club that excites a neutral anymore.

Re: Kevin Keegan Returns To Newcastle Utd.
Newcastle fans want attacking football. The new chairman, who sits with the fans and hears their gripes first hand, has given them what they want... a "local hero".
Sadly the current Newcastle side doesn't have any attacking players worth mentioning, and has a defence as solid as a sand castle when the tide is coming in.
Playing Keegan's style of attacking football with the players currently at his disposal, Newcastle will be joining Derby and one other at the EXIT door come the end of the season.
They say Keegan will attract top players? Really?? Any top player will remember, or hopefully be reminded, that Keegan blew a 12pt lead and lost the Premiership to Man Utd in 96 when he couldn't cope with Ferguson's mind games. He later resigned from the England job acknowledging he wasn't up to making the tactical decisions necessary to win games that were slipping away.
His earlier "success" at Fulham was done with the equivalent funds RA lavishes on Chelsea, so not exactly difficult to get them promoted to the Premier League given that backing and he hardly set the Premiership on fire at Man City, either.
A retrograde solution to a problem that should never have existed in the first place. It's always nice to see an old flame, but it's never as good as the first time... let's hope Newcastle fans are aware of this, or they'll get disillusioned very quickly.
The best thing that could have happened was to offer the job to Shearer. He would make a pig's ear of it and leave by "mutual agreement". Until he's had his turn, he will forever be a shadow of doom looming over the club, and no decent manager will take the job under these circumstances.

Re: Kevin Keegan Returns To Newcastle Utd.
Were Newcastle right to appoint Kevin Keegan?
