Keegan to Donny!!

[beerbantam]

What a couptup: tup: tup:

[baldbantam]

Have they actually got him?

Saying you want someone is a long way different from getting them.

[Yeadon Bantam]

Would be a massive signing and they look like a club going places!!

[king billy]

He's only ever done anything when he's had money to spend, he was shite as England manager and he nearly took Man City down - the only clubs he did well at where the two that give him loads of cash to spend - whilst Donny have a few quid he won't do fook all there - i'd seriously rather have Todd in charge - Keegan at a club like Donny is nowt more than a gimmick......Legend as a player - embarrassment as a manager.....tdwn:

Thanks for posting what I was about to say.

[Jantje]

He would soon resign & return to Spain the first of trouble at Donny, just like he has done everywhere he's been

[beerbantam]

His ability to attract players/lift the clubs public profile will pay for his contract by its self. And they will get guaranteed attacking football!!

Rather have Todd ffsjawdrop: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Great point and probably true but he does have a history of baling out when criticised or the going gets a bit rough

Maybe so, but so what! To say you would rather have Todd(not you i know) is a laughable comment!!

Keegan would bring feelgood factor back to VP - shame he is off to Donny:rolleyes:

Kevin Keegan, Bryan Robson have one thing in common.

They are both out of their depth when in football management.

[Devil's Advocate]

Great players rarely a great manager make.

How good a player were the likes of fergie, Wenger, Jose, Rafa? You could even add Jewell to that list!:D ;)

Robson could never fight for the Premiership title no matter how much money you give him to spend - he proved that at Borough'!

You cant compare the two!!

[B_i_N]

I think Keegan could do well at Doncaster as long as he doesn't get too emotional about it. I wonder if he still regreats selling Andy Cole and the Premiership title at the same time?

Yet you disliked Bryan Robson?.....Its the same scenario as when we set Robson on, ie a way to lift the profile and attract players - except Robson IMO is a much better coach, under whom we played the most attractive football we'd played in years!! ;) Keegan won't do fook all mate - i'll have a £50 wager with you....tup:

Just like Steve McClaren then??

How short are peoples memories?

If we had never brought in the Drunk & his side kick we most likely would have never been relegated from the Championship!

He tried to be 'a footballing team' when it should have been dirty survival football - he'd of known that too if he hadnt have been swimming in the bottom of the Whisky bottle! Todd was no help either - waiting in the wings for the drunk to fukc up knowing he was in line for another 'promotion':rolleyes:

Everyone remembers the one game under Robson and its the same ONE game that Caddalineocoketry is remembered for - not enough to warrent being called a good manager!
I dont remember attractive football - i remember heartless football!tdwn:

Only so far this season have i seen attractive football , played with heartat VP - since our promotion to the Premiership season!!

[king billy]

I agree in that we shouldn't have tried to play nice footy in the position we were in - but come off it mate, we were fookin unlucky in many games, as soon as we signed Farrelly we improved massively, loosing at places like Walsall where we absolutely shat all over em was what was most frustrating - I'm not saying Robson was a particularly great manager BTW - just that the similarities between him and Keegan are that similar its almost spooky - and just like us, he'll do fook all at Donny should he go there - don't forget the only reason he got Fulham out of this division is because he had a billionaire chairman in Al Fayed, Ryan at Donny aint one of them mate....tup:

[jimmy]

What short memories some of you have.Keegan took over at Newcastle when they were odds on to be relegated to the 3rd divivsion and saved them from going down.The season after on a shoe string he got them back up into division 1 (Premier League).He then put a team together that was one of the most entertaining i have seen in many a year.So what he bailed out when it got tuff and you lot have balls of steel and can take the **** thrown at you? I think not and i would have Keegan anytime as manager.KB how can you compare Keegan with Robson? Robson spent 97 million at Boro and achieved nothing,but if Keegan had have that kind of money im sure he would have achieved a lot more.

[king billy]

Your speaking out of your trumper Bazza-lad ;)

He had shitloads to spend at Newcastle - as he did at Fulham, at Man City where he had nowt he was found out, he nearly ruined the England team i love aswell!!....12 point lead over Man Utd with 10 games to go whilst at Newcastle, yet he let it slip, entertaining footy maybe - but total and absolute fookin suicide, Newcastle won't ever be that close to the title again - he totally blew there one and only chance!!
In his own words he didn't have what it took to be a top coach....

He was tactically very, very naive......top man - yes, nice bloke - yes, legend as a player - yes......but good manager - not a fookin chance!!

[Mallorcabantam]

But he has gone back to his roots -- Donny -- some (most) say we have reservations about his managerial skills -- but how many -- under tha same condition would have Maca back at VP?

[B_i_N]

During those first years at Newcastle he did brilliantly as Jimmy said. They were about to be relegated to the old third division. He said goodbye to all the players and quit. Sir Brian Hall realizing the seriousness gave him the money he needed. He came back and saved Newcastle from the drop and oblivion. Those years and his first two seasons in the prem were his best. What he couldn't handle was running a top club and being a top manager, he wasn't good enough. I think his biggest mistake at Newcastle after selling Andy Cole was disbanding their reserve team, thereby giving top players in the squad no chance of any competitive football if they weren't in the first team or coming back from injury.
I do believe he will be able to attract one or two players who wouldn't even drive through Doncaster on a good day to play for the club. He certainly has the connections.

Ideal for the Gers then eh mate?:rolleyes:
You might even win the league with curly Kev - well if he plays as well!!:D

[king billy]

Has he gone BTW?.....Or is it still just a load of gobshiting by the Donny chairman?

[jimmy]

KB there have been counless managers who have had **** loads of money to spend and have done zilch.KK saved Newcastle from the drop,then got them promoted and then Newcastle finished 2nd,their highest place for decades.Ruud Gullit had bucket loads of cash and acheived nothing.KK also got Fulham promoted and yes he did have the money,but money alone doesnt guarauntee success on the pitch.At least KK did have some success compared to other managers who spent bucket loads of cash and didnt even make mediocrity.Wolves,Boro,Spurs and countless others have tryed buying success,but it takes a good manager to get it.KK didnt achieve mass success,but he got some at least.As for England manager i aggree he was shite.tup:
Many people thought Big Ron was a good manager i thought he was shite and he spent shed loads of cash and he never achieved anything other than getting Cambridge United promotion.
:p

[king billy]

If he does go - we'll see eh?....tup:

I agree re Big Ron BTW - never done fook all to make him so high profile IMO - his gob gets him the attention - not his achievements in management!!

Sot on Jimmy and he only bailed out when he was displeased at what the directors and John Hall did in putting the club on the stockmarket - and going behind his back on matters. For me the season his team blew the prem title was a great shame - as the style of footie was a breath of fresh air that Hansen and Lawrence could not to get to grips with - defending coming second after attacking. One of the best games ever I have witnessed was Newcastles loss to Liverpool 4-3. Keegan is far from perfect - but we could do a lot worse at VP - he would certainly raise our profile in a postive way. With Robson I always got the impression we were a bad smell under his nose something he put up with. When were in the doldrums - where was he?

[Mallorcabantam]

Kevins teams were always watchable - brings in the crowds - brings in the cash -- but they need to win more than they loose -- it will be interesting to see what he can do at Donny

[california bantam]

im sorry to disagree with you bazza HUN BUT I DO AGREE WITH KB AN THINK THAT KEVIN (IM NO QUITTER )KEEGAN IS A ****.

[meelin]

The Donny fans will be happy, O'Driscoll from Bournemouth is the new man in charge.
