Officiellt: Kevin Keegan har avgått!
Kevin Keegan har nu själv bekräftat att han avgår som Manager för Newcastle United.
Newcastle United FC står nu utan manager. Kevin Keegan har ikväll annonserat, via League Managers Association hemsida, att han avgår med omedelbar verkan. Här nedanför kan ni läsa hans uttalande:
“Over the past few days, the board of directors of Newcastle United Football Club and Kevin Keegan have been in detailed discussions. The letter which Kevin received today from managing director Derek Llambias has failed to resolve the matters in issue between him and the club and accordingly he feels he has no alternative other than to resign.
Kevin Keegan said:
“I’ve been working desperately hard to find a way forward with the directors, but sadly that has not proved possible. It’s my opinion that a manager must have the right to manage and that clubs should not impose upon any manager any player that he does not want. It remains my fervent wish to see Newcastle United do well in the future and I feel incredibly sorry for the players, staff and most importantly the supporters. I have been left with no choice other than to leave.”
LMA chief executive, Richard Bevan, said:
“The LMA has been supporting Kevin during a very difficult period. We share his great disappointment and frustration that the situation could not be resolved.”

Vi på redaktionen tackar därmed för allt King Kev gjorde under dessa åtta månader han var manager för klubben. Det var länge sedan man såg sådan självsäker optimism och tro på managern bland klubbens supportrar. Mike Ashley har nu ett fyhelsikes svårt jobb att ersätta Keegan nu.
