No manager worth his salt would come near us???
I think JK, if his effect on the team continues, will be definitely worth his salt. I love the man, always did. If he does okay, I think the toon army will all be supportive of him. There may even be resignation of the fact that KK's actions, though understandable, were insrumental to our present plight and that he should have seen the season out at least. Yes he's emotional and acts on an inbuilt instinct to react demonstrably, and in this scenario where Milner was sold, and the whole team were 'up for sale' so we're told, it seemed the obvious choice to him. In hindsight, for me at least, I wish he'd gone public on the board's treason and told us exactly what they'd done. Probably he'd have been sacked after his last sin of telling us we were a million miles away from the top four after the board's secret agenda was made known to him ( i.e. Wise and co's transfer policies. ), which resulted in him being 'dragged' to London for a caning and warning to keep his trap shut. In my honest opinion, if Ashley was really gutted at the strength of feeling displayed by the fans, and he sincerely wanted to make this club work, he could still rescue the situation by letting Wise AND Llambias go. We aren't so daft as to think that they, Vetere and Jiminez acted independantly of Ashley's directives, but the nastiness in which they treated Keegan on that fateful Sunday night could have been avoided with Ashley's oversight. He could, even at this late hour drop all legal moves against KK, re-appoint him to work with JK and at least be reasonable with regards the team's 'needs' in January's and subsequent transfer windows. I believe the fans would applaud such a move and start drinking beer and buying his pies again in St. James's, such is the nature of fair-minded Geordies. This letter will be derided by the ignorant outsiders who only come on here to show how sad they are, but this idea would suit me if someone else came up with it. As far as Mike's safety's concerned, that was all poppycock anyway.

hungry69, would you care to elaborate some of the many ways in which this reminds you of 76/77 ? To me, this is nowhere near like 76/77.

yousawmestandinalone, nice comments mate, I've always liked City too and am deed happy for you to at last feel like it's on the up. Just how we felt when Ashley first came and promised a war-chest of £50,000,000 for new players, which didn't materialise. Well ol' buddy, haven't you observed the same loyal support recently? apart from the fairweathers and prawn sarnies who used the situation to not buy new season tickets. Good riddance anyway. But thanks for your constructive thoughts mate.

Gatesheed "I believe the fans would applaud such a move and start drinking beer and buying his pies again in St. James's, such is the nature of fair-minded Geordies."

He'd need to sell more than three pints and a couple of pies for this to be an attractive proposal.

We all know there are a lot of fans out there that really just want to know what direction we are going in and how they are to be achieved.

To much of this regime has been built on speculation and rumour produced by Her Majesties Gutter Press and has been fuel by the lack of substance coming from the club its self, resulting in the powder keg of the mob protests a month ago.

Our future is going to be shrouded in mystery and even then we might be in a worse state than we are know. And I have not got a great deal of confidence in it being resolved anytime soon

redandwhitemackemfox, you are the kind of dim witted saddo I was talking about. Don't you have something better to do with your community service? or are you in court again this afternoon for nicking a computer?

Gatesheed just look at what you are saying.

Sack the cockneys give Keegan his job back and in return for the pleasure of this humiliating climb down we might just let you stay and finance our existance in the premier league. In the process losing so many more million pounds you will buy a few of his pints and pies right up to the next time he angers you. Its pathetic and seriously far from reality.

Now for my date with destiny in court number 1.

the way i see is it is that both keegan and ashley are not right for the club and the sooner we move on the better and try and create some stability with people interested in nufc and willing to buy players and make the team great. Just hold on im sure we will be taken over and despite what the scare mongers say we are a big club in terms of attendance and revenue created and with no or little debt are a fantastic oppurtunity for the right person/consortium
