From the sublime to the ridiculous.

Let's replace professional competence albeit quite dull, with unprofessional shiny superficiality.

This might yield results in the short term but is an utterly retrograde step which says more about the chairman than it does about anything else.

This says that I have no clue how to run this thing but so long as I buy myself 3 months of nobody giving out to me all will be well.

I am no fan of Allardyce - I hated Bolton - but he is as well away from this bunch of jokers

Keegan makes an immediate impact as he signs Shaun Wright Phillips

Hasn't even attended a football game since he was sacked by City so he says. Sentiment doesn't win you games. There's nought as queer as Toon folk but I expect Shearer to be his No. 2.

How ironic that "the Messiah's" first game ends in a 0-0 at home to Bolton

Nice to see Duff features heavily in his plans though:

He hasn't lost his sense of humour though. When he heard that his first target, Woodgate, had decided to sign for Spurs, he said. "They are in Europe this year. I can't offer that unless we get on a ferry".

Dennis Wise linked with the number 2 position heavily this morning.
He's not all that imo.
Leeds form has collapsed since Poyet left.

**Angus** · 28/01/2008, 12:59 PM

So, 2 games in, in the Messiah's reign and no goals scored yet.

You know what happens to Messiahs in the end - they get crucified and it will happen in the North East as well.

That was the one literal time. The rest are crucified by "mutal consent"

I can't believe Wise is being considered for a top position at Newcastle.

I'm equally bewildered that they'd just hand out a job, any job he wants, to Shearer just because he was a good player there.

Even more so considering how much of a baffoon he makes of himself on MOTD. When analysing Yakubu a few weeks back all he could muster was,

"He's a goalscorer, who eh, eh... will em... get you goals". Muppet of the highest order.

Also wasn't him who said at half time of England vs Croatia that the only difference between the sides was passion (or something like that)?

He said "we've got to...eh...eh...eh...get in amongst 'em", like that was all that was missing.

keegan is claiming that the appointment has bothing to do with him and that the press need to ask the owner about the structure of the club as wise was Ashleys appointment...Director Of Football........Newcastle is a circus at the moment

**NeilMcD** · 28/01/2008, 4:13 PM

Keegan himself would not be drawn on the subject of Wise at a Newcastle media briefing on Monday.

"Obviously, there are going to be some moves at this club, but I think the chairman (Chris Mort) has really got to come out and say what that's all about later this week."

It's true ...he's gone. Leeds loss is Newcastles gain I suppose. Oh well life goes on.
