Newcastle Utd. - Are They Following The Yams of Kaunas Model ?
This all sounds vaguely familiar.
I predict Keegan to be gone by Easter and Wise to take over as manager. [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register]

of Keegans first 7 games in charge he will have played Arsenal twice, Man Utd, Liverpool and a hard away game against an Aston Villa (who were 5th in the league at the time). A bit harsh to judge based on those games surely? I think he's more likely to be judged on the upcoming home games against Blackburn, Fulham and Reading with the Sunderland game towards the end of April being more likely to decide his future.

Re: Newcastle Utd. - Are They Following The Yams of Kaunas Model ?
Newcastle fans might have laughed a little while back but I think they could well regret getting rid of Allardice. He is a good coach who was doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances.

He might have been able to dig in and stave off relegation but the club were losing supporters. Keegan is not the answer either, but at least his appointed has reversed the trend of losing supporters. Although they got rattled by Man Utd yesterday I thought that at least they tried to get out and give it go. They were all over Man Utd for the first 60 seconds!

Freefall? I thought Newcastle made a poor start to the season and had begun to pick up and move towards mid-table. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 5 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. As I say, I could be wrong there but it's what I recall. Also, the points about Allardice style and strange tactical decisions... You're saying now is not the time to judge Keegan but Allardice wasn't really given much time to get it right, was he? You have a point about difficult matches but the same argument put forward by Derby supporters earlier in the season when they were getting skelped. I'm not saying Newcastle and Derby are parallel cases, but a club with the resources of Newcastle really shouldn't be taking 5-1 and 6-0 hammerings in the space of a couple of weeks, not from anybody. That suggests to me that the manager isn't getting the basics right. I think Keegan will be given a bit more time than Allardice but it is not beyond the realms of possibility that he will be out by Easter. I will stick to my original prediction that he will be lucky to see out the year at St James'. |

Do you honestly think it was a good footballing & business decision by Ashley to take Keegan back when so much has happened in the EPL in the intervening years and he hadn't been near a pro game in 2 years ? Plus, I think this Ashley guy is not what he appears to be, witness the rumours that he tried to get DIC interested in buying Toon which would have netted him a tidy profit. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of time for Newcastle Utd. and I'm not trying to have a pop but I have the feeling that the fans and the board still hang their hats onto that brief moment 11 years ago when they actually threatened to do something under Keegan.

nil points from the next 2 games (home v. blackburn, away v. liverpool) leaves them needing 4 wins from the last 10 games. twitchy bum time.

They have the money but just cant get things right. Looks like they are going down the route of Chelsea and hiring people for every possible 'role'

It was their lucky start to the season (with wins in games they scarcely deserved victory) that had them sitting mid-table. Quote:
I've said from the start that he isn't the answer, and appointments within the club seem to point to the fact that neither does Ashley, but he has created a buzz and the hope is that transfers to the players and helps to get the 4 wins required to stay up.

Re: Newcastle Utd. - Are They Following The Yams of Kaunas Model ?
dont think the premiership will miss them tbh
although a few teams would miss the 6 points a season plenty teams with "massive" supports in the championship so they should feel right at home
