Keegan's appointment was not in Newcastle's best interests

got a little anti-Newcastle united thing going at the moment on this website...for last few days at least one of your "writers" has been having a little nibble...ah well, not to worry. Just wonder what they'll say when keegan and Co. survive in the Premiership this year, and the manager buys in his own talent and they start rebuilding in really big way next season. In the meantime guys, happy nibbling.

having now read 2 reviews from your site on the King I can confirm that I will read nothing more. The reason is simply in that you write no facts no truth not even any good gossip it is all dirt digging crap..........

Why have you journalists got no respect for one of englands greatest ever players. no respect for a man who took a side fighting relegation in the championship equivalent and made them title contenders. no respect for a man who made man city and fulhum established premiership sides. no respect for a man who wheres his heart on his sleeve and absolutly loves the game. fair enough have your opinion but how can you be so disrespectfull to a man who has provided so much to the great game.

Completely agree Geordie Joe,southern press sniffing round a team that is more united now then it has been since the day keegan left first time round looking for imaginary stories!Keep digging as the toon are united for ever!

OK youv'e made your pathetic little point, you hate Keegan and Newcastle.Why a no-mark amateur hack should think his opinion counts for anything more excrement is beyond me.but just to prove that I can be as obnoxious as you I intend to contact your sponsors telling them that I will never visit your site again and why.I urge others to do likewise.

Another idiot who thinks he knows the ins and outs of football. To the person who wrote the peace of garbage, if you achive a quarter of what Keegan's achived in his life, then you can consider yourself a very successful man. To show disrespect to a great man like that, just shows what type of person you really are. Youy sir, are a tit!

What blinkered responces. You're backing up your opinion by saying he's a great bloke? Seriously? Guys, you might want to step back and actually think first, because you have no idea how your team is looking to the rest of the footballing world. If it was only other than King Kev in charge, you'd be calling for his head by now, and you KNOW IT. The only reason you're fighting his corner is because he is a newcastle and england legend. I'm a liverpool fan, so he's a legend for me too, but I can still see that he has been absymal!

Its the usual anti-United drivel we've become accustomed to from this joke of a website. I too will be contacting your sponsors and explaining why their links with you are a risk.

Keegan isn't a messiah - but then who is? I believe him to be an honest creative manager who gets the best from his squad. He produces a type of football that most people find very entertaining. He has never, pubicly, tried to divorce himself from the present squad, using the excuse that they are not his team. Notably Sam Allerdice did just that - and many of them were his appointments. There appears to be a drive by the press against Newcastle United and Keegan in particular, reading many of the articles it appears that there is a real wish for the project to fail.

Firstly, I cringed when Allerdyce was appointed, his playing style, as was with every other manager since (with exception possibly of Bobby Robson) certainly failed to match the fans drug addiction to the old Keegan days 10yrs+ ago.This era was clearly the fans anticipated and hopeful benchmark for future. However when Keegan himself was woken from the dead and wheeled into the arena I thought it couldnt get worse, this article tells the truth with some hard facts; to be honest Keegan looks shell shocked, out of his depth and clearly as shocked as a rabbit in the headlights.The magpie fans are understandibly addicted and nostalgic to his past era with fondness as did the media (NUFC.... everyones second favourite club), however,concequently and predictably these passionate fans whom have been drip fed mundane crumbs of mid table brilliance served by expensive managers and players ever since deserve a wake-up call. This is such a wake up call at present.As was with the likes of the other "big clubs" such as;Nottingham Forest, Leeds, QPR, Sheff Weds a little "humbling" is required to allow some reality back into the club. Relegation may just remove this heavy Keegan chalice around their necks once and for all. Finally....this club needs to remove one more poisoned chalice in the form of Shearer, he should be appointed to manage them in the championship to push tem back into top flight...... then perhaps.....all this Keegan and Shearer hero-worship thing will be gone for good and the fans and club can move on like it deserves and should.

Thanks, but if you guys keep posting or only can post negative opinion about Newcastle United, you'd better stop doing it. Write anything else that fit on your tiny-minded Southerner glory hunters like sportsmanship, will ya? About Keegan, you'll never understand and will never be. It's what we believe and we don't need any outsiders thought about him or about our team.

I hope Keegan does prove me wrong, it'd be a great story, but I struggle to see it happening, he was a hero, but that's the past. I don't want to see Newcastle United do this, I've supported a club that has made a big fall and it hurts, I don't want any supporters to have to go through that and have nothing against NUFC at all. Why not write an article saying how great he is, I see that one has already been written I'd love to hear an intelligent response rather than abuse of someone you've never met.

i hope he wont read all things in article and will do his work and prove wht a manager he is..he is the best to handle this circumstances and will bring back our glory days

This comment: "support@888sport.com This is the e-mail address of the main sponsor of this website.I am contacting them to inform them that I will NEVER use the services of any company with contacts to SPORTINGO any why." is the stupidest thing I have ever read and truely shows why there is so much needless mudsligning on this site; because there are so many 12 year old kids sprouting rubbish! Yes mate, i'm sure they'll drop their sponsorship right away, because everyonw knows that any sponsorship contract contains the terms "Shall anyone insult King Kev, we'll drop you faster than Heskey." What an absolutle idiot! Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

KK was and still will be the best. He turned championship sides into premier league status. Though he may look like he's got no experience, he still remains tons of it inside his mind no matter how long he never turned on football. Experience and greatness last forever no matter what and how long. As for his status, admit able it is too good but better than those money bags who came, saw and sacked! They always enjoy a honeymoon year then worry about getting kicked. This is not consistency and I rather Newcastle United enjoy later. Remember those times where KK got it harsh? He eventually certainly got it right! And for those negatives from journalist, you can either write good, positive and relevant ideas or you can just shut up and stop demoralizing my team.

On the line 'admit able it was too good'. It is a writing mistake that was suppose to be writen as 'admit able that it ISN'T too good' Sorry

So what is it Jon,You are either Hockmans mate or you work for the site.You seem to have all the cliches of a bad journalist. Dog is spot on.Sure if only one person complains,nothing would happen ,but if everyone who is sick of no-mark wannabees wrote in to their sponsors ,you would see a change. And I don't think it is just a case of 'King Kev' protectionism,I think Newcastle supporters are sick to death of people who write poorly researched articles/rehash stories from tabloid crap/and generally have a go, purely on the basis of what they have read in the southern press.If it was to happen to your club you'd be annoyed as well (who do you support) You don't actually hear Newcastle supporters saying that they are the worlds best - the media do that. It was the media who went into overdrive when Keegan was appointed(far from my first choice by-the-way) .It is the media who built things up just so they can haul them back down.Then you get bandwagon-jumpers like this guy and you expect people to swallow the crap,do me a favour pal. It is easy to support a team that is winning,we sell out week in and week out for a team that hasn't won ANYTHING for years and years.The club has been badly directed for decades,you can not blame the supporters for that or for expecting that one day the team will live up to the support. As for you Mr. Hockman please have the balls to tell us who your team is so we can take the piss,instead of hiding behind your keyboard.
