Watch Out, We’re After Your Title - Kevin Keegan

January 18th, 2008 by shearyadi

Speaking infront of the limited and lucky Geordies faithful on his first presentation by the club today, Kevin Keegan has vowed to give Newcastle United supporters “something worth watching”.

Have been so closed to the first title in more than three decades back in 1996, Newcastle saw Manchester United pipped our 12-point lead. Today, Special K sees there’s no reason why we can’t go one step better to end United’s long wait for another silverware.

“I want to win something and I want to give supporters what they want,” said Keegan. “I was impressed with Mike Ashley because I asked him what he wanted and he said he wants to win things.”

King Kev is believe we have the possibility to break again into the top four next season and to win either one of the League Carling Cup or the FA Cup. Keegan said that we have been there before, in the top four, and he will do his best to get United back to where we belong.

Keegan says that he wants to give the Toon Army something to shout about, he knows that the fans have been worked all week so they can come to the match and for them it’s like people down south going to the theatre. Keegan knows exactly what the Toon Army wanted to see and will make sure they will enjoy it, again.

“I want them to go home thinking that was good. They want us to have a go and that’s why I’m here - we will have a go.” Keegan added, “But there’s only one place we can do that and that’s out there on the pitch.”

Tomorrow, the welcome party at St. James’ Park will be a very special one. With the visit of Bolton at Galowgate End, Kevin Keegan will walk out from St. James’ Park tunnel for the first time this season, and he will shows the world again, the real Newcastle United is.

The Difference Between King Kev and Howard Kendall

January 18th, 2008 by shearyadi

I’ve read a friend of mine write about Kevin Keegan return to Newcastle is probably the worst ever football comeback, and a possible to be the next Howard Kendall at Everton. I appreciate his opinion, but I see that King Kev is different than Kendall.

The only similarity between Keegan and Kendall is that both have come to their club as a player before later become their manager.

Howard Kendall who is also a Geordie lad, born 22 May 1946 in Ryton, Tyne and Wear, has an uncle Harry Taylor who played for Newcastle United and Fulham in the 1950s. He made his name to famous with Everton, signed for them in a £80,000 transfer fees in March 1967. Originally played as defender he was moved into midfield with Alan Ball and Colin Harvey.

In May 1981 Kendall returned to Everton as player-manager, played four games before finally retiring as a player. As a manger, he is struggled and was on the verge of being sacked in January 1984. He left Everton in 1987 to manage Athletic Bilbao in Spain.

He turned down an offer to manage Newcastle United in 1989 to remain in Spain just to get sacked in November 1989. The following month he returned to England as manager of Manchester City, before returning to Everton in November 1990.

He was less successful the second time around, resigning in December 1993 after a row about money for signings. After another journey as the manager of other club like Greek club Xanthi, Sheffield United and Notts County, he made the third return to Everton August 1997, but resigned at the end of the season having only managed to avoid relegation on the final day of the season.

As you noticed, Howard second return to Everton was innitially have no back-up plan from the Everton boards. King Kev return as the manager of Newcastle United is because he was chosen by the United boards and owner. King Kev will have all the back-up of money to signed any players he like.

I also don’t think that Kendall has the closer relationships between him and the Everton fans despite his “Holy Trinity” with Ball and Harvey. Keegan was having the soul connection with the Toon Army, to get the ranks of the Messiah was a genuine prove of what Keegan’s means for the Toon Army.

I know it’s very early to say that Keegan will be more successful on his second attempt as the manager of Newcastle, but with the significant back-up from Mike Ashley and with the help of luck, he will make it this time. He has an “Unfinished business” at Newcastle, and that is to bring the silverwares for Newcastle United.

Cech Back In Newcastle United Transfer Speculation

January 18th, 2008 by shearyadi

Still no signs in whatsoever for the next Big Move by Kevin Keegan in January transfer window. Handed at around £25M war chest this month, It’s to be believe that King Kev is having the papers already from every player managers all over the world on his desk at St. James’.

And as usual, the papers are the first to know about who will come and who will go. No different this time, they have been busy in speculating the names. The latest name was Porto defender Marek Cech, who is apparently was about to have his medical check last week under Sam Allardyce.

Currently playing for Portuguese side FC Porto, Marek Čech (born 26 January 1983 in Trebišov, Czechoslovakia) is a left wing back who can also play centre half or in midfield. While at AC Sparta Prague, Marek was part of a no-nonsense defense.

In the 2005/06 season he was part of Co Adriaanse’s triumphant domestic league and cup winning FC Porto. He also plays for the Slovakia national football team where he is part of the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying team. 24-year-old Slovakia left back, is also having the interest from Wigan’s boss Steve Bruce.

“I would leave Porto only if I received a really good offer,” he told Pravda. “I am finding a way to make a step up in my career. I don’t think Newcastle are higher than Porto in the football hierarchy as Porto have been winning trophies, play in the Champions League every year and even won it before I entered the club.”
