Is it too early for this thread or is it too late? Keegan hasn't got a clue honestly but to be fair he's got a team of muppets to work with and I think he gets us relegated. Next up Alan Shearer :(

Ridiculous.
Your post is rather curious especially coupled with your signature " Dream of avoiding relegation."
What's ridiculous?
Kevin Keegan was hired after not watching one football game in the last three years?
Big Sam was sacked?
Ashley wanted Harry Redknapp first?
Dennis Wise is director of football?
Terry McDermott is our #2?
We might get relegated?
Ashley wears a Smith shirt into the away stands and takes management advice from the traveling supporters?
Villa fans sang "There's only one Keegan" only to be joined by the same traveling supporters after Carew completed his hattrick?
Keegan wants to sign David Beckham and Thierry Henry?
That we hired an manager who admits "tactics aren't my strong suit"?
The entertaining football that Kegan promised the Geordie fans is a still a long way off and with no transfers in the January window Keegan is going to find it hard to get the players performing in the style that he, and the fans, crave. William Hill offer just 15/8 that Newcastle fans will have to wait for more than another five matches before their first win under Keegan. With Michael Owen looking a shadow of his former self, the same firm also offer 33/1 that the Magpies will fail to score in any of their next five matches.
"The wait for Godot is looking short compared to the wait for a Kevin Keegan win or goal," said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.
"Punters and Newcastle fans are already becoming impatient with the lack of impact the footballing Messiah has had - and, since the arrival of Dennis Wise to look over Kevin's shoulder, we are seeing more and more interest in our odds of 2/1 that Keegan won't be manager on the last day of 2008."

IF we get relegated, KK surely will not be the manager when the next Championship season starts.

I'm surprised you didn't start this thread the day after he was appointed.

It crossed my mind but I expected some sort of new manager bounce. Instead we look worse. I'm not even really calling for him to be sacked I just want to see what everyone else is thinking.

Here we go again.
The sooner we all take mplsTOON's old adage that we are Aeroflot and accept that we are Aeroflot and probably always will be Aeroflot, the better off we'll be. :p

Well, someone had to start the thread eventually. I would have started one only because I'm fearing he'll resign before anything else, whether Shearer is in or not. Then there's Dennis Wise............

Keegan wants to sign David Beckham and Thierry Henry?
The Thierry Henry comment was in response to a child asking "if you could sign any one player, who would it be?" on a phone in for crying out loud!

The Thierry Henry comment was in response to a child asking "if you could sign any one player, who would it be?" on a phone in for crying out loud!It just highlights the fact that he's out of touch. It's going to take him at least until the end of the season to get up to speed let's just hope we're still in the Premiership.

He leaves after this season. We don't go down because enough teams below us actually are worse. We finish in 17th.
And I hope to God they don't bring in Shearer.
Thx,
Jay!

I know you are from Seattle and it's easy to get down, and being a Magpie doesn't help, but c'mon, we need some positive vibes here. Relegation? Be careful what you wish for.

Be careful what you wish for.Share your positive vibes then my friend. Pass the pipe down we all could use some. Seriously what good news do you have for us? It's ********ing grim and our schedule is brutal coming up and we may not get any points for 6 weeks or so.

Jesus wept stop drinking the haterade.
Everyone's frustrated but it's been 5 games, and in case you hadn't noticed we weren't world beaters to begin with.
