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.

Keegan was the only hope for Newcastle, the man was just getting settled in and chas n dave forces him out. A MANAGER IS MEANT TO MANAGE!!! NOT SOME BLOKE IN A MADE UP JOB! GET WISE OUT, ASHLEY DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR. SELL THE CLUB, BRING BACK THE onE AND onLY 'KING KEV'.

If the papers are right and KK signed a contract without reading it then he is stupid. I find it unlikely. Whether Ashley is right or wrong about that does not matter, he appointed Little (not so) Wise Man and it was doomed from then on. Wise did such a great job at Swindon and Leeds didn't he? Without Poyet doing the job for him he has no idea. The idea of the Toon Army having a local derby at our place looks even more likely. Welcome to the lower leagues Newcastle, morally your management are already rock bottom. Still, Fat Man and Little Man are meeting some potential foreign buyers now so it may all be different next week when the Tackem faithful see a chequebook waving.
