Newcastle silent on Keegan

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.

Angry supporters gathered at St James' Park and chants of "sack the board" were repeated as the Toon Army voiced their dissatisfaction at reports Keegan was set to leave or be sacked less than eight months after his high-profile return to Tyneside.

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.

    2 questions. 1/ how did mike ashley become a billionaire. surely it was not by listening to idiots like dennis wise.
    2/ why does mike ashley put his trust in a no hoper like wise.
    If mike ashley could read this i have the answer to his problems.
    1/ kick wise and the rest of his maggets in the tyne.
    2/ go round to keegans house write him a cheque for £20 million and tell him to save it till the transfer window opens and then give him another £20 million. then put it in writing that keegan runs the team including transfers. then ashley might be welcome in newcastle.
