Huge bust up regarding transfer targets yesterday by all accounts. Keegan normally threatens to walk when he's not getting his way so I'd say Ashley took him up on the offer, sad but what can you do. Expect Wise to take over as interim manager to see how they he can do while they pretend to look for a manager. If Wise makes a good job of it they'll give it to him, otherwise they'll hire someone else, keep Wise in his current position and say he was only the interim manager anyway

Agree that he is an idiot but Keegan's departure wasn't related to on the pitch performances.

Ashley appointed Wise. That's where the problem was (re:transfers). The blame lies with Ashley for backing and Wise for not consulting Keegan on transfers.

Keegan not sacked according to SSN. Statement on club website to that effect.

Just a normal day on Tyneside really. :confused:

It looks like Ashley won't pay off Keegan and so issues a statement saying Keegan is not sacked.

Bad example to set to the fans. (And I know I can talk!) Man of the people my @rse. I know the club got a few complaints about it and why not. If that was a fan, he'd be chucked out by a steward.

Nobody drinks non alcoholic beer like that. This is a copout to avoid the backlash.

It goes without saying doesn't it. It's the easiest excuse to come up with. It's not like they'll be able to prove anything!

Well I didnt see the incident myself, just read about it in the press.

I was lucky with the bet, as I got it at 5/1 but it was for the first to be sacked, so to be fair to PP they paid out quick enough and i withdrew it fast enough too, just in case!!!:)

Big Sam did very nicely out of his stay at Newcastle. Also, it kinda shows that Ashley ahs been bothered with the club if he's been pumping in about �110m. Or he's just stupid.

As a West Ham and UCD fan I have experienced relegation more than once and it is not pretty.

Last season UCD deserved to go and the most recent flirtation with relegation West Ham had, we stayed up a la Tevez but probably didn't deserve it.

Newcastle deserve this and it would have been a tragedy if they have stayed up. I can empathise with the fans pain but it is somewhat reassuring and validating that a club that has been so badly managed, awful recruitment, consistently bad player management, bad signings, bad sales, bad treatment of managers, bad and bizarre hiring of managers, extremely poor performances on the pitch, consistently bad performances by players who simply didn't fancy it.

Michael Owen and Mark Viduka and Joey Barton will walk away from this but they are culpable.

Jokers. Charlatans. And the only side who deserve more to be in the championship next year is Sheffield United

Newcastle got exactly what they deserved today, they've been extremely bad all season. Massive clearout needed, Collocini, Edgar, Owen, Viduka, Barton to name a few of the wasters in their squad

David Blaine is apparently gutted at the minute. He has discovered that his 44 day record of doing f**k all in a box has been smashed by Michael Owen

I thought Newcastle would be fired up for it more yesterday! I thought they would be saying to themselves let's do it for Joey Barton.

Could not happen to a nicer team!

yesterday's performance was one of the worst I have ever seen from a PL team. How enrique, guthrie and edgar are professional footballers is beyond me

Newcastle deserved to go down, absolutely crap all season long. It'll be a while before we see them in the Premier League

The fact that you don't realise you're delusional shows how delusional you are.

What a stupid comment. Why does everyone try to paint all Newcastle fans with the same brush and generalise all the time?

Any fans that think Kevin Keggan is a great manager and an ex-player with no management experience is the man to save them from relegation are very delusional IMO

He did save us from relegation in the old division 2. I don't think anyone ever said he was a great manager. A great motivator, yes.

EDIT: Just realised you were referring to Shearer there. The club was f*cked, and Shearer was appointed in an act of desperation. There was little risk about it.

Newcastle have put the club up for sale for �100million.

I suspect it also comes burdened with high debts like most Premiership clubs despite the waffle that winning the Championship means millions to a club. They usually way overspend to try and stay in it and then go in to free fall when relegated.

And of course no irony was used when fans called him the Messiah. :rolleyes:
