Kevin Keegan leaves Newcastle
Sep 2nd, 2008 • Coaches • Teams • Transactions
View The Circus has arrived at Newcastle for more information. Newcastle’s manager Kevin Keegan has left only 8 months after having arrived amid rumors that he was unhappy over the amount of control he possessed over transfers most notably in the recent sale of James Milner. (22 year old Milner was sold for €12 million to Aston Villa.) Perhaps what also irked Keegan is that Necastle’s only transfers on deadline day were to obtain Ignacio Gonzalez on loan and Spanish striker Xisco for £5.7 million.
Only 2 weeks after Keegan began working at Newcastle the executive director of football Dennis Wise decided to take control over all transfer activity. Despite many criticisms over Newcastles contiual revolving door policy with players this transfer season saw over 6 new players arrive and 5 dissappear.
His relationship with Newcastle owner Mike Ashley worsened when Keegan reportedly said that Newcastle would not reach the Premier Leagues Top Four for a long time.
ahhh they are just cycling players non-stop its ridiculous, you cant even get to know the team
