Re: Keegan, the Truth
Yea fair enough he got Newcastle promoted, and nearly won the Prem with 'em, but he had to spend vasts amount of money in the process, their spectacular faliure in losing a 15-20 point lead or whatever it was shows how much tactical ability he really has. He did nothing at Fulham whatsoever, Micky Adams got them out of div 3 and consoladated them in Div 2, while Keegan was there he simply got Ray Wilkins to do all the donkey work. Fair enough Man City can afford to have a manager like Keegan who needs vasts amount of money to do anything, and will throw money at any problem he is faced with. They will stay up next season. As you can tell I can not stand Kevin Keegan, the idea of anyone getting well to do jobs on the basis of their personality rather than ability is repulsive to me, doesn't matter if its in football or in the real world job market.
As for England, Hoddle did a decent job, and is a good manager, but he is clearly a nutty bible basher. As an employer if someone I had employed held those views they would be out of here sharpish. Venables was OK, but is completely bent. Bobby Robson did well in the end while he was in charge of the National team. At the end of the day Brian Clough should have got the England job all them years ago.

.Both the Old Firm have particularly nasty elements.I suppose in Celtics defense they always bought and played players regardless of religion whilst Rangers would not sign a Catolic for over 100 years.
