Hey, you love Jesus right? That’s because he was really cool about everything. But what if your nice beardy Jesus man had risen from the dead and returned to earth, livid and suing everyone - Judas, Peter, Herod, Buddha, Satan, Santa, everyone. Then where would your Christianity be? Yeah, exactly, you don’t know.
Which leads us seamlessly to Kevin Keegan, the Newcastle messiah, who is rumoured to be suing the club for £9 million in damages, sobbing about how he was unfairly dismissed, he didn’t want to sell Milner, it was all Llambias’ fault. Could his loyal apostles in the Toon Army really stand by him should he leave such a long smudge on the Newcastle history books?
Mike Ashley, Dennis Wise and Derek Llambias will fly back from Dubai today after an unsuccessful sales trip. It wasn’t unsuccessful because of complicated financial negotiations, but rather because they chose to skip the boring business bit and drink mojitos instead:
According to arabianbusiness.com, Dubai investors were waiting for Ashley in the Mina A’Salam Ramadan Tent in the Madinat Jumeirah Hotel for their 11pm meeting but he was instead in the nearby Bahri Bar knocking back cocktails.
Surely the Arab businessmen knew the meeting would never materialise if it was scheduled for 11pm. By that time, Ashley has usually downed his sixth pint and removed his ‘King Kev’ Newcastle shirt, and Wisey is conducting his second or third assault of the evening.
Was the Geordie Messiah right to leave the club at this stage?
Following the announcement that King Kev has abdicated from his throne, one despairing Newcastle fan has gone as far as throwing his shirt and season ticket into the Tyne, in anger at the club’s board. A less vocal section of the fanbase, however, feels disappointed at KK’s decision to abandon the ship he loves so dearly - one Newcastle forum user remarks:
I’m not going to be very popular for saying this at all, but irrespective of the situation Keegan has walked out on us at the first hurdle.
So, should Newcastle fans point their fingers solely at the board, or feel a little let down by the perceived lack of tenacity of their revered leader? Votes and comments below, please.
