12 Greatest Ever Newcastle United Rants, Outbursts And Melt-Downs

5. Derek Llambias Criticises Pretty Much Everything

When a man who Kevin Keegan once claimed to know 'even less about football than Mike Ashley', one should really take what he says with a pinch of salt. However, former Newcastle managing director Derek Llambias was a bit like the prat with a barstool - he may have had nothing of value to spew out of the hole in his face, but he was still going to try and fill the airwaves with his vacuous drivel.

''Kevin Keegan can't take pressure. His f*****g head is all over the place. Mike was selling to the Arabs and they wanted Kevin Keegan. The Arabs wanted him, the fans wanted him - perfect! Shearer was my choice and I have to hold my hands up - the wrong choice. Shearer destroys us. He gave all the responsibility to Dowie. Rubbish!'' - Derek Llambias, November 2011.

With the Newcastle supporters bearing witness to these needless tirades, one witness was alleged to have claimed that the highest scorer in Premier League history was arrogant, to which the former Toon chief bristly replied - 'You guy have given him that arrogance'. So, nobody was really spared from Llambias' inane ramblings and lashings of his tongue.
