From what I've read in the press, players were bought and sold, without his prior knowledge nor his consent, at the behest of Newcastle's "Director of football" Dennis Wise.
My recollections of Dennis Wise, as a footballer, are that he was a mediocre, dirty player who did little for the image of the game of Football. Alex Ferguson once said of him that he could "start a fight in an empty house".
What are Newcastle FC thinking of when they give more weight to an apparent thug, rather than a footballing legend who'd achieved so much more for them in the past.
Btw I am not a Newcastle fan, but I've always admired their passion for attacking football, as embodied by Keegan's football philosophy.
I'd have Keegan over him any day. Anyway, this is the report:-
One of the most protracted, and painful, farewells in football was confirmed last night when Kevin Keegan finally resigned as the manager of Newcastle United. An increasingly acrimonious three-day stand-off between Keegan and Mike Ashley concluded with the club's billionaire owner refusing to be backed into a corner by the former England coach's demands before forcing him to walk out.
