Kevin Keegan

Keegan…The Man Who ……… When I heard on the news that Keegan was to be the new manager of Manchester City I fell to the ground and thanked god for sending us a new Messiah. I love Kevin Keegan and the fact that he is now the City manager fills me with hope of the rise of the phoenix that is Manchester City……Only last Saturday on Radio Five Man City were described as being the most exciting team in Britain…Thanks to KK…. I first remember Keegan when that wise old fox Bill Shankly signed him for Liverpool, he was skinny and not well know but Shankly knew damn well that he had a star in the ...  Read the complete review

I, like many others, was shocked and disappointed when Kev threw in the towel at the end of the Germany game. It was only a one goal defeat, hardly the end of the world! I suspect that Adam Crozier (Scottish) pushed him to leave and now it seems apparent that this is part of some larger plan seeing as we are saddled with no-hoper Eriksson for the foreseeable future. Why get Kev back? well, at the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, the man brought wonder to the game. You could see our players thinking - "I wonder what I should do now" and "I wonder if we'll ever score". Eriksson by contrast instills the cold professionalism that gets ...  Read the complete review

In the eyes of every Newcastle United supporter and a hell of a lot more people who support other teams all around the world Kevin Keegan is a God, not only for what he did as a manager, but what he did as a player. Kevin Keegan was born in 14/02/51 in Armthorpe, Yorkshire. The clubs he played for as a player include Scunthorpe Utd, Liverpool, Hamburg , Southampton, Newcastle United and England. During his playing career he won a lot of honours mostly with that great Liverpool team, he won The League Championship 1972/3, 1975/6, 1976/7, The European Cup 1976/7, The UEFA Cup 1972/3, 1975/6, The FA Cup 1973/4, Footballer of the Year 1975/6, and he won 63 ...  Read the complete review

England losing to Germany was the best possible result for our qualification chances... it means we get rid of Keagan. No offence but he is obsolutely bloody useless. If it wasn't for the complete lack of English managers, he would' have been given the job in the first place. he hardly had a good record as a manager. He took Newcastle and Fulham and got them promoted, but only by spending stupidly large ammounts of money to bring in an entirely new squad. The england manager has to work with what he has got. Maybe we should have predicted this would happen. When the going gets tough, Kegan resigns. His biggest mistake was sticking with Shearer for so ...  Read the complete review

I consider this man to be a very nice bloke with a nice personality but the fact is that he doesn't seem to have a clue about tactical knowledge and what is needed to be a top class international manager. I disagree with the comments that he is a 'coward' and a 'bottler', as I think that standing down when he did and holding his hands up to admit that he was not up to the job was very honourable and took a lot of guts to do. This man will make a great clu manager as he showed at Newcastle and then Fulham but I do not think that he has what it takes to make it big at the top international level. Maybe when he has the funds and oppurtunity to splash ...  Read the complete review
