yer, i think keegan will go, he aint doing good there. and there is little and little money everytime for him to spend.

wonder if pearce would do good?

Pearce would make a good manager and he has done it before ( player/manager). Keegan should go at the end of this season not the next. I have never rated him as a top flight manager....

yer, when he aint got non stop money, he tends to go backwords,

who did pearce manage TRD?
