..... Kevin Keegan has just been confirmed as the new City manager.

Have they got the right man this time ?.

He'll probably walk away from Man City after about 1 year into his contract stating :

"too much pressure from the fans"
"well I've gotta to follow my heart and if Man United want me then I've gotta go!"

Blah Blah Blah.....oh well at least that counts him out of the Southampton job which is our gain!! :)

Awwww, I think Kevin Keegan is alright!! He'd be an asset to any club, and my money's on Man City winning the Division one league next year! He's a superb manager and a really nice blokle too (blushing!), and he won't desert City for United next year I am sure!!!


If only Arsene Wenger was as happy as Kev!

Yep, this is the man who publicly admitted he wasn't good enough to be an international manager, what a good compliment that is to pay to man city!!

I agree AW does look miserable most of the time. I am not a fan of KK as a manager. Being a manager of a top club (and Man City are a top club in my view) requires a real strength of character. KK is great when things are going well but during hard times he crumbles and jumps ship. Man City probably will get back in the premier league but I can not see KK taking them to greater things.

Well, he is good enough at Club level, and I can't believe he got roped into becoming the England manager! At Fulham he was superb, and now they're in the Premiership aren't they! Although that new manager, the French guy, he's pretty good to get them up. But Kevin Keegan at Newcastle was really brilliant - that radio show when he declared war on Fergie and his men was really impressive, and I feel so sorry for the Magpies, they came so close!

I think the fulham success story has more to do with the fact that Al Fayed is unbelievably rich!

And that too, but a good manager is essential! Fulham haven't bought that many players you know, but they're all worth a lot more now! Mainly they have a few foreigners some Arsenal and Spurs rejects (who have excelled at Craven Cottage) and now Al Fayed thinks they can win the league! I think top 6, no better.

I don't think so, Walter Smith won 6 titles in a row at Rangers, he isn't a great manager, hes just got a lot of money, and Man U will never be caught by anyone other than about 4 clubs in England solely due to money!!

Not true. Although money is important (hence the two richest division 1 teams going up, and Rushden and Diamonds getting promoted (at last) but Southampton for example - and Ipswich - they've done incredibly well, without a huge amount of dosh, but then Southampton don;t have a manager - but Glenn Hoddle did well for them - he's a top bloke, and and George Burley, what can one say? Still you need a good manager, no one can deny Alex Ferguson of being the best club manager in the world can they?
