Kevin Keegan in Southampton meeting with Matt Le Tissier and Leon Crouch


THEY are the pictures that have got Saints fans dreaming of another hero’s return for Kevin Keegan.

It was one of the most famous days in Saints’ long history when Lawrie McMenemy pulled off one of football’s biggest ever transfer shocks in 1980 by convincing the then European Footballer of the Year Keegan to join his team.

And it would be just as big a shock if these images do show Matt Le Tissier and Leon Crouch meeting Keegan to try and convince him to return to St Mary’s in some capacity.

The pictures, which were taken on Monday, only arrived at the Daily Echo just before going to press late last night but appear to show Le Tissier, Crouch and Keegan outside Le Tissier’s house.

Today, Leon Crouch refused to comment on the possibility of his involvement and whether or not Keegan had been approached.

As revealed by the Daily Echo, if the Pinnacle bid is completed successfully they are understood to be looking to replace head coach Mark Wotte with a British manager.

It may be they have Keegan in their sights, that he could have another role at the club or that the pictures are a friendly coincidence.

That theory especially gains momentum as a highly credible source told the Daily Echo yesterday that talks were beginning with another British manager in a bid to convince him to join the St Mary’s bandwagon.

But just the idea of Le Tissier on the board, maybe even as chairman, and Keegan as manager is a dream ticket for Saints fans to salivate over even if it doesn’t become a reality.

For that to have a chance of coming to fruition however the Pinnacle led group will have to complete their takeover of Saints.

Their three-week period of exclusivity comes to an end tomorrow by which time they hope to have completed the final paperwork and be in a position to pay the cash and land the club.

Le Tissier would be on the new-look board, probably alongside the mystery backer who has put the cash forward, and the rumour mill has been rife for days that former chairman Crouch will also rejoin the Saints powerbrokers, though he has denied any knowledge of this.

Keegan has been out of football management since leaving his second spell at Newcastle in September last year after a public fall-out with controversial owner Mike Ashley.

Before that he had managed Newcastle, who he once led to second in the Premier League, Fulham and Manchester City, gaining a promotion with all three, as well as England.

As a player Keegan, who is an OBE, started his career at Scunthorpe before moving to Liverpool where he won three league titles, a European Cup, two UEFA Cups, and an FA Cup.

Keegan moved to Hamburg in 1977 and helped them to a Bundesliga title before his remarkable switch to Saints.

While playing under McMenemy, Keegan scored 42 goals in 80 appearances. Keegan went on to make himself a Newcastle legend with 48 goals in 78 appearances and had a record for England of 21 goals in 63 games.

One of Keegan’s daughters was born in Southampton and for many years he maintained a home down here despite his work taking him away from the area.

IS ti today the last day for them to wrap this take over!!

As much as I think King Kevin as a player was great from what I have seen he does not have the staying power for what our club needs to do now.

First thing first lets get the club out of the mess its in then move it on.

Keegan would be a great manager, if you leave him to get on with the job.

The main reason he left Newcastle was he was undermined by the chairman and Dennis Wise, which wasn't what KK signed up for when he arrived.

I'd be over the moon if KK was our manager. He naturally brings an air of excitment to the club and we really need that after years of depression.

Bring it on!

I told you all Kevin Keegan would be the next manager.

As long as he gets the support and Money he will be fine and so will we.

My only concern that i have here is that Newcastle will get sold or taken over soon and once new owners are in they will come calling for him, and i believe he will go.

The man is a proven Manager and a serial quitter, however in our current situation I cannot think of anyone better. He will give the place some lift and that is what we need now. King Kev he could be!!!

Any genuine Saints supporter would welcome Kevin Keegan back to the club. With Le Tissier on the board and a wealthy passionate backer this club could and should go on to much bigger and better things. IF Keegan was appointed as Manager or even Director of Football, this would show that the new owners and board really mean business. Fingers crossed it is not just a coincidence that Kevin has been spotted with Le Tissier and Crouch!

Snooky says...
8:35am Thu 18 Jun 09

Thanks but no thanks Kev, You have quit everything you've done and the Saints need stability after 15 managers in 15 years. We don't want to be used as a stepping stone.

But i very much doubt he will be coming to saints i beleive its just coinsedence here's hoping hey

I think it would be good, even if he only came for 2 seasons, I could see us being serious championship contenders. Keegan has qut his jobs for various reasons, mostly board interventions so if he did come we need to support him 100% and let him get on with it. COYR

9:02am Thu 18 Jun 09

We need someone proven in the lower leagues like Paul Ince or Denis Wise. Denis Wise would get my vote. He well at Leeds in the First Division and also at Millwall and Swindon. Going to Newcastle was a mistake and he was never given a chance by the fans.

Keegan would be a disaster - quits whenever the going gets tough. Neither him nor Shearer have any alliegance to the Saints.

bigfella says...
9:02am Thu 18 Jun 09

oh good lord jebus please no....

actually, on further thinking, it might be alright. as long as we keep in the back of our mind the moment it gets tough he'll be off. lets have him, get us promoted to the championship again, then he can walk mid way thru the season after when we're mid table. the WGS can come back to finish off the job.

done.

This could be good news, it could be bad, but MLT has approached KK for MONEY to help save the Pinnacle deal.
There's no question of KK going back into management as I understand it.

I think a manager is already lined up, not KK

Bitterne Park Tim says...
9:10am Thu 18 Jun 09

KK would be fantastic! He has been there and done it before, Man City, Fulham and 2nd and 3rd in the prem with Newcastle!

You never know when he might split, but you know it would be great fun on the way.... Come on Kev We need you.... or Strachs..

"This could be Kegan's finest hour!"

Keegan has won various trophys in an illustrious playing career!

To suggest that being appointed manager of a club that has been relegated to Div 1 and starts the season on minus ten points, could possibly be Keegan's finest hour!

I rather fancy that needs a bit of an explanation!

Keegan would do what what we have been missing for a long time. Excite the fans and fire up the city. He brought Fulham up from the lower leagues.
I think St Mary's would fill up on his name alone.
Bring it on.
Hopefully only one more sleepless night and announcement tomorrow, then I can enjoy the summer.

Why do The Echo never show pictures? They always say "SEE THE PHOTOGRAPHS EXCLUSIVELY IN TODAY’S DAILY ECHO." Im on holiday in Australia so i cant pop into the local shop to pick up the echo to look at the pictures. The whole time iv been over here the echo has been so vague on every story it releases. Im surprised The Echo's headline today werent "Saints deal may be completed in next 24 hours"

Anyways i think i'd rather have Mark Wotte in charge than KK. He may not know the league very well, but im sure KK doesnt know it that well either atm. MW knows the players he has and areas he needs to improve on from last season. I think a whole season and some financial support from above i think he'l do well.

deadly666 says...
9:26am Thu 18 Jun 09

Let's hope this is true. Keegan would bring a buzz to the club and the city just as he did when he signed back in 1980.

This club needs a proven English manager who can attract players who have the quality and experience to get us out of League 1.

Mark Wotte is, sadly, not the man for the job. I agree with some posts about letting him have control of the Reserves - but would Keegan want his own back-room staff?

Paul the Parrot says...

Strachan only made us fit and hard to beat. We had no flair or excitement under him we were boring under him. Kev Keegan would aloow the players to play again, we concede 2 but probably score 3 like the old days of the 80`s. Might not be sexy football but im sure it would be exciting.

9:49am Thu 18 Jun 09

nobody expected KK to turn up at saints 29 years ago so rule nothing out my fellow speculators. Also the company my mrs works for is in administration with begbies and traynor and asked them cheekily whats happening with saints and i quote " we WILL be handing over the business in the next few days"....that was on tuesday. I feel I have done more investigating than the echo...

Gary Clark says...
9:56am Thu 18 Jun 09

I think Kevin Keegan would be a fantastic manager for Southampton, we need someone with the connections to this club to give us some form of stability. I admit Kevin Keegan has walked out on other clubs but he had good reasons as to why? forget Wise, Ince or anyone like that they have little experience and little knowledge, and in my opinion are not what this club needs at this moment in time. Southampton Football Club needs to hit the ground running and wipe out the -10 pts deduction early, as well as bringing a manager in with wow factor, Kevin Keegan will achieve this so before any Saint's fans jump the gun give Kevin Keegan or whoever else the manager may be the chance to prove himself before judging them!

Kingsland Pie says...
9:57am Thu 18 Jun 09

I've personally seen KK and MLT playing gold together at Stoneham Golf Club twice on the last couple of months, so not sure its anything more than the fact that they are mates. Not sure about Crouch though.
I can't see it really, but I suppose KK woul dbe seen as an asset in that it would (on the whole) interest Saints fans, and also assist with attracting players to the club. For me he's been out of football too long (the Newcastle stint showed that) and his experience of the lower leagues is very old. Don't get me wrong beggars can't be choosers and all that, and he's a good man manager so I understand, but wouldn't it be better to get a hungry younger manager who this would be a good club for (not a stepping stone necessarily) who can take us forward for the next 5 years?

I dont see a problem with Leon Crouch being on the football board as he is a saints fan through and through. As long as he doesnt have his fingers in the books and finances, I think he could be a good ambassador for the club, very passionate and quite an intelligent man.

I dont think he would take the job if we didnt so here is hoping pinnacle have a little spare cash.

Also on the post about crouch a little while ago. I disagree I would be happy to be on the board, he was the only one (out of him wilde and lowe)who actually had Saints interests at heart, when the muck hit the fan he put his hand in his OWN pocket and helped keep us going for a short period. My brother see him up the stadium when we first went into admin and he said 3 words 'keep the faith' thats what you want to hear in my opinion

I fail to see how Crouch cocked it up last time as you claim. He only was in office with power for six months. In that time we stayed up and had a decent manager. If crouch was around last season we would of still been in the Championship. FACT

Le Tissier and Keehan together would be superb but I have serious doubts about Crouch's involvement. I think most Saints fans have been hoping to see the Boardroom cleared of all those who have been responsible for the club's downfall over the last decade. Crouch, despite all his chummy statements and 'man of the people' facade was Hell bent on gaining power at the club and made many many mistakes. If he's helping to broker things then that's fine but to my mind he needs to be kept well away from the Board and the general running of the club. If he isn't then those fears I and many others have will always be there lurking in the shadows.

There's guys out there who'll play.. for a man with some sway.
We don't want too much..
not another kick in the cruch.
Give Kevin a chance..
Out team he'll enhance.
Lets all walk proud.. not covered in shroud!!.
Come on King Kev and we'll do our bit..
Win draw or lose we're still in the

Firstly, whilst KK did take fulham up in his first season, this was because Mickey Adams set the foundations for him. He may not be my first choice, but would definitely generate euphoria amongst the fans, which is what the consortium are asking for. For years we've been asked to get behind the team, but given nothing back....could this be the way forward, with a board that truly does listen?
What has impressed me is the stats on SSN, KK has had every team promoted (I think as champions) in his first season as manager.
Finally, I laughed at SSN quoting the echo in their headline, but now they say KK is talking to the consortium and not believe he is....

I'm trying not to get my hopes up but if we can get Keegan as manager it would be amazing. If we've got a bit of spare cash lying around then he would be a dead cert to get us back to the Premier League, and sooner rather than later.

Cheers!

It's not easy being a Saints fan in Manchester, is it? I've yet to meet a United fan who can name a single one of our players. It would be awesome to make an appointment that at least showed we're a big club with big aspirations. Plus, I don't doubt for a second that KK would do a great job for us.

OMG - this would be fanatastic! It would increase the gate by 1000's and therefore be self financing. MLT & KK running Saints - how far do you have to back to see when real football people were running our team?
Clearly, MLT & KK have met before today and hopefully the discussion today is to tie up the loose ends before contracts.
If all goes to plan the doom merchants can stay away from this site and St Mary's - positive thinkers/supporters only!

its not indeed, been here since april so had nothing to shout about the whole time. I am yet to meet a united fan lol jokes. At least I can go to work (IF this goes through) safe in the knowledge that we are showing some ambition and with the hope that by the time I move back to southampton in October the Saints will be moving up the table

Two ex managers Saints can do without.(1) Aidy Boothroyd,great for bankrupting a club.(2)Walk away Keegan,first stint at Newcastle spent millions on players not much success,likes to throw his toys out of the pram,walks away from every club including England.

Crouch - wrong

KK - one hell of a leap of faith, he just doesn't seem to have the passion anymore. I didn't think he had it when he took over the 2nd time with the Magpies - it was money that lured him back in my opinion.

Which must mean our new owners are rolling in it.

I can't see that being the case.

Keegan was a good player, great personality, however hasnt really achieved as a manager, has spent tons of money though!We need someone out of the Martin O'Neil mould.
Oh FFS, what do we want him to achieve? Promotion back to the Premier League, right? And what did he do with Fulham and Newcastle?
I rest my case.

As for Martin O'Neill, yes, he's a great manager, but we don't have that sort of cash, or even clout at the moment, beggars can't be choosers, let's take who or what we can get and be happy for it. If KK is prepared to come to St Mary's let's welcome him with open arms.
Same would go for WGS I say (it all went wrong when he left), if we have to get rid of Wotte, that is, who's a decent bloke doing a halfway decent job in difficult circumstances.

Easy to say in hindsight, but we'd never be in this mess if they hadn't got shot of Pearson (well done, Nigel, you have the last laugh and deserve it).
Failing that, let's have KK as director of football and someone like Nick Holmes, Wotte or even Eddie Howe as team manager....

What we REALLY don't want, though, is a has-been or never-was like Dowie, Wise, Souness (complete the list for yourselves....)

I personally am all for Keegan to come on board! So what if he quits for a job at a bigger team? I'm sure you'd all do the same! Besides, it isn't anything different is it? lol! He'll get bums on seats, bring an air of hope to us and hopefully have some contacts that wouldn't usually go to a lg 1 side

have you seen nick 'im the voice of the fans' illingsworth on sky sports news? what a muppet,he knows nothing! he says keegan has no experience of lower league football! fulham anyone? and didn't he get newcastle promoted from championship? why have we got to have someone with experience in the lower leagues? that must mean we'd turn down alex ferguson if he wanted the job! i just want someone who will get us promoted full stop!

At our level of football Keegan would be great and he knows the club which I think the way we are at teh moment is really important.

I don't know if he is that amazing a manager but I am sure he'd be good enough for legaue one.

I read his autobiography where he wrote one of his dreams was to manage a tiny team from the lower leagues and take them all the way to the top..

But, surely, we can't afford him

KK would be a long term disaster. If we are succesful in his first season he'll be off to a bigger club. If he fails to get promotion in the first year then a big money owner would want him out. It's a bleak prospect for the paying public. Public opinion at the moment is a triumph of Keegans personality and '80s nostalgia over the reality of a well reasoned strategic long term plan and what's best for the club.

Keegan was unable to inspire Fulham to overcome Grimsby Town in the playoffs, but good form in 1998–99 — helped by the acquisition of many players who would normally have been beyond the budgets of most Division Two clubs — clinched them the Division Two title and promotion to Division One

Check Wikipedia: KK got fulham promoted 1998-99 season in OLD division two - now league one (Mickey Adams got them promoted into the said division.
He did the same for man city in 2001-02, from first division - now Championship....

Adam, I didn't say league 1 experience was necessary, I am all for KK now, NI commented neither Mark Wotte or KK had this. I've known NI for well over 25 years and disagree with many things he says, he's actually a decent guy who's been tainted by other's who don't know him....as I said, this thread is not about him though!

Trust me. Kevin Keegan is the wise choice whether it's at Directoral or a Mangerial level. He's hungry to help take Southampton back to the Premiership. He'll bring back the crowds. At last we have the chance of having people at the top who have a SOUTHAMPTON HEART!.

If we listen you can hear it beating from St Mary's.

A wise choice Keegan is NOT, the man is a proven quitter and the last thing we need now is somebody who will walk as soon as things do not go his way. If a change is needed then bring in a hungry manager with lower league experience who will be there for the duration. I would like to see a thorough cleansing of the club from the boardroom right down to the silly club badge which looks like it was conceived in a primary school art class.
