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.

    Bebatov's transfer was a disgrace to football. The rules shoulpd apply to Man Utd. They are all too often in breach of both football regulations and integrity. And why is Ferguson's office next door to the referee's room.....three guesses !!!

    Keegan has a history of runnng when the going gets tough - so there can be no surprise when he went ! Newcastle supporters have an over-inflated opinion of their team and thus should realise that a team without money is not going to go anywhere except down And as for a new manager - Curbushley

    Now I have been in football for 50 years and I admire KK for being a man of his word. A manager should manage and get the players he wants NOt what others think. It was doomed the moment that little man DW went to this great club. Good on you KK good luck for the future
