the word "interesting" doesn't really do it justice - the best I can come up with is that it's a - strangely predictable surprise

some quirky snippets in the article Jag...


"It's a great soap opera. Locally they will be in raptures but outside it the may well be bewilderment."

"Keegan, who was running his "Soccer Circus" football academy in Glasgow, quit his last job as a manager at Manchester City in March 2005.

He also walked away from Newcastle in 1997 and left the England job suddenly after losing to Germany in October 2000."


He was a great player and is certainly not boring as a manager, I guess we'll watch as it all  unfolds  (and hopefully not as it unravels)

It seems they want Shearer to be manager but feel he needs a mentor. The Keegan job is to deal with 2008, work alongside Shearer then let Shearer take over in 2009/2010.

He's barking mad - gets far too emotionally involved and then walks away when it turns to custard.  I can't recall a returning manager ever having more success second time around.  He will certainly liven things up.  It'll all end in tears though, mark my words.

I can see why he's got the job. They need a cheerleader rather than a manager, and he is certainly that.

If they get to third and the league cup he'll go down as their greatest manager ever.. all that matters is a bloody trophy I think!

Kevin "I'd love it if we beat them" Keegan will be eaten alive by the mind games of the Premier League.  Newcastle were total crap against Man U last weekend and are only six points above the drop zone.  Very silly appointment.  Maybe we need our Terminator X to sort out Shearer and then Newcastle can be a rational football club again...
