Mike Ashley, the Evil Cockney Emperor of Newcastle United, has flexed his mendacious dictatorial muscles and given Alan Shearer the boot, surely one of the most heinous of crimes in Toon eyes… [Read the rest of this entry »]

With Gus Poyet rejecting talk that he’s about to become Kevin Keegan’s replacement, the club appear to be no closer to appointing a new manager at St James’ Park. Indeed, it seems nailed-on that caretaker boss Richard Money will be picking the team for the visit of Hull on Saturday, and he’s expecting the eleven players selected to get a warm reception.

Kevin Keegan is unlikely to be returning as Newcastle manager for a third time and Alan Shearer has decided against throwing his hat into the ring for the vacant position at St James’ Park. Therefore, it appears as though any appointment will not be to the fans’ liking, although this one could send a cacophony of boos ringing around Tyneside. [Read the rest of this entry »]

Before attacking a teenager on the streets of Liverpool, Joey Barton let loose on his then-Manchester City team-mate Ousmane Dabo, and originally protested that he had given the Frenchman a good hiding for his own self-defence. The Newcastle midfielder has now admitted he was guilty and has got away with a pretty lenient punishment, have the FA acted correctly? [Read the rest of this entry »]

Since Kevin Keegan walked out of St James’ Park for the first time in 1997, Newcastle have had six different managers, not including the messiah’s return earlier this year. While Sir Bobby Robson had a good four years in charge of the Magpies, it’s clear that ‘outsiders’ such as Kenny Dalglish, Ruud Gullit, Graeme Souness and Sam Allardyce have been afforded much less time to get things right at Newcastle.

There are two sides to every story, although Newcastle supporters are unlikely to have an ounce of sympathy with the club’s hierarchy right now, even if they have seen their manager walk away just three league games into the season. Indeed, if this was an unpopularity contest, then Mike Ashley would be streets ahead after this latest revelation. [Read the rest of this entry »]

While Magpies fans are probably still smarting after Kevin Keegan resigned from the club on Thursday night, he’s not coming back for a third time (!), so it’s time to turn our attention to who might replace him as Newcastle manager. At least the board have over a week before their next match which is at home to Hull City. But who will accept this poisoned chalice? [Read the rest of this entry »]

The writing was on the wall earlier this week, when reports first emerged that Kevin Keegan had quit as Newcastle United manager. While the club eventually released a statement to confirm that King Kev was still in charge, this was all for nothing after the Magpies gaffer walked away from St James’ Park for the second time.

According to many reports on Tuesday, there was no way back for Kevin Keegan at Newcastle, despite the board’s vote of confidence in the manager. However, he continues to remain in charge of the first team, despite missing two training sessions this week after protracted talks with Mike Ashley et al. It sounds like King Kev is willing to stay after all, but only on his terms. [Read the rest of this entry »]

The situation remains unclear at St James’ Park, where Mike Ashley and Kevin Keegan have clearly been embroiled in some heavy-duty discussions. Only the pair and the fly on the wall are aware of the latest state-of-play, and whether the Newcastle manager has any mileage left on Tyneside. However, one of his opposite numbers thinks that if King Kev isn’t getting the respect he deserves, there is no point in sticking around. Surely that happened when Dennis Wise came in?

The transfer window has shut and, while there was plenty of excitement thanks to some high-profile manoeuvrings , there were a handful of players who didn’t get the moves that they were looking for. This includes a Newcastle striker who now remains on the sidelines at St James’ Park, although perhaps a new manager will have faith in him! [Read the rest of this entry »]

Despite a 3-0 tonking at the Emirates on Saturday, it’s been a reasonable start to the season for Newcastle, who drew 1-1 at Manchester United and beat Bolton 1-0. Nevertheless, if this latest report is to believed, the board aren’t particularly pleased with the way things are going and Kevin Keegan could be on borrowed time at St James’ Park.
