Newcastle silent on Keegan
Newcastle remained silent in the face of vociferous fans' protests this afternoon as speculation continued that manager Kevin Keegan is leaving the club.
Media were forced by security guards to leave the stadium grounds as the club declined to comment on reports of Keegan's exit, and while fans were also seemingly ushered away, they were soon permitted to reconvene around the main stadium entrance.
Keegan's apparently imminent exit is thought to be down to the club's transfer policy and the level of influence he has been afforded as manager, with Dennis Wise operating as director of football since being brought in by owner Mike Ashley last season.

Ashley should learn from what happend at Pompey a few seasons ago Milan Mandaric decided to bring in a director of football over Harrys head it resulted with Harry and Jim Smith leaving fortunately Mandaric realised the error of his ways and Harry came back.

The bottom line is Kevin wanted success for Newcastle but without promised funds what chance do they have ? With no prospect of breaking into the top 4 what has Kevin got to aim for? Mid table mediocrity? No he wanted to realisticly challange .Bet he wishes he was still City manager!
