now theyre saying sacked. makes less sense

Football manager is probably one of the few professions were it's better to be sacked than quit. They have to pay your contract out if they fire you I think, but don't if you walk out.

i completely agree. why get rid of kev on purpose. i could see him going nuts and leaving but toon were playing better and they bought keegan type of players

now…not sacked?

I'm sure Kevo walked out in a sulk because he didn't get all his own way……just like he always has and always will.

current rumor (or rumour) going around is that wise and or ashley tried to swap barton and cash for warnock without telling kev

that deal would have made me happy :o

Manchester City's new owners will follow up a £135m bid for Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo with offers for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres and Arsenal midfield man Cesc Fabregas. (The Times)

There you go…probably heading up to St. James as I type!!!!

I'm not goign to lie - when I first read the headline I thought it said re-signs as in he quit, then took the job again, which would have been odd.

Bummer for you.

If I was a toon fan I'd be saying FUCK YEAH!!! Just what has he achieved as a manager?

If Toon don't jump all over Curbishley, providing he wants to go to that fucked up organization of course, then they're morons.

of course i could curse out ashley and wise (and i am) and i could call kev sacless or something, but really i blame joey fucking barton. got 2 managers sacked in just over a year. fuck that dick :mad:

Well, you won't have to worry about him for 6 games....

he got off light, to be honest

You'd be a fool to not watch Cuba vs. US (8 PM Sat on ESPN Classic) and Armenia vs. Turkey (Noon Saturday on Setanta), but not for the soccer. I love when foreign policy enemies matchup against each other. Otherwise you're right - not a lot of good matches on the tube.

i might need a break from footie this weekend anyway. might make my head less likely to explode

And the worlds greatest underachievers manage to squeeze victory over the footballing world giants known as Andorra! :p
