[Archived] Keegan Newcastle Manager!

[Brainfreeze]

Just breaking on Sky Sports News. Good news for everyone connected with BRFC!

[grizfoot]

Indeed it is. Keegan did a good job at Newcastle before but it's always risky returning to your former club.

[Kandevil]

yes on NUFC website too: http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsD...1217034,00.html

[revolutionrock!]

Get in , now lets sign some players.

[Presty On Tour]

i was right all along

[modes98]

Woo Hoo, etc.

Now we can get on with sorting out our team.

[Mr. E]

It is good news.

Though I'd be worried if there was indeed a good chance that Hughes wanted to go to Newcastle. If it was ManUn, I'd sort of understand, but not crappy Newcastle. I would like to think his loyalties to Rovers come first.

[Roost]

Thank Feck for that

[frosty]

Good job! I can't see him doing much there and we can keep Hughes now.

[LeftWinger]

Glad it's all over - and quicker than I expected.

Let's get signing some players now!

[Hasta]

Right hopefully some incoming transfer activity will commence.

However i think we have all learnt during this episode that our manager is not going to sit pretty at Ewood until the Man U job come available. His comments throughtout have taught us that if he feels a more progressive offer along the lines of Newcastle becomes available he will probably be off.

[M-K]

Get in , now lets sign some players.

With what?

Still, great news for us, even if it was a bit of a punch in the balls when Sparky refused to commit to the Rovers.

[Ben-2000]

Good news! Lets move on now...

[Quack]

Thank goodness for that - suicide watch over now. bring on the Boro,

[Ozz]

I'm sure Keegan was quoted recently that he would never manage again in football, fairly recently.

I expect the Newcastle managers job will be available again within 18 months. Bound to end in tears this Im afraid.

Result.

[CircoWill]

Delighted. Hughes stays and Geordies remain a laughing stock.

The "I'll love" speech is on SSN now

that's one way of looking at it.

or he might well have done a harry. That's one thing we'll never know!

BREAKING NEWS!

HUGHES IS HIS ASSISTANT!

Only kidding.

Tim Southampton Rover, comedy genius. Feel free to hire me for birthdays, business functions and weddings.

Sky Sports are showing the scenes at Newcastle at the moment and it's pretty much similar to scenes of countries celebrating a world cup win. It's truly remarkable.......oops thats not the word i'm thinking of.........laughable! Thats it!

[Shevchenko]

As long as you're free to hire. Like many things in life, you get what you pay for (apart from when it comes to that beautiful game they call football)!!!

Oh burn...

[Mr Maureen]

Can someone remind me why Keegan left the Geordies.

[bob fleming]

Can someone remind me why Keegan left the Geordies.

Graham Fenton wasn't it?

[Claytons Left Boot]

Absolutely brilliant from a Rovers perspective.

From a Newcastle perspective, a disaster. They had to take their time and get it right. They failed.

Billy Smarts has nothing on them.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Probably because he blew his best chance of success by throwing away that 12pt lead they had over United and the following season they weren't quite good enough!
