Kick out Wise and I will stay - KEEGAN
-
KEVIN KEEGAN last night told the Newcastle board: Sack Dennis Wise and I’ll stay on as boss.
King Kev produced an amazing series of ultimatums during showdown talks with club owner Mike Ashley yesterday.
Knowing he has the Toon fans behind him, Keegan called for:
Executive director of football Wise to be paid off.
Vice-president Tony Jimenez, who is in charge of player recruitment, to also be shown the door.
Control of all transfers in and out — AND given the power to negotiate all player contracts.
Just 24 hours earlier Keegan’s eight-month reign seemed to be coming to an end with the board squeezing him into a corner. The ENTIRE first team was up for sale during the summer transfer window and two players — Xisco and Ignacio Gonzalez — were brought in without his say so. But, after vocal demonstrations by the fans, a revolt by the players and threats of a supporters’ boycott of the next home game, Keegan emerged holding all the aces.
A Toon insider told SunSport: “The way Keegan is trying to pull this round is staggering. "If he gets his way, he’ll have a power which he hasn’t had since coming back.”
Most of the Toon squad felt ‘insulted’ by the discovery that they were up for sale. Now, if Keegan does go, the stars loyal to him will ALL slap in transfer requests in January. The insider said: “The players feel surprised and disappointed and they also feel insulted.
“I’ve never known it so quiet here. It’s like there was a funeral going on, like there had been a death in the family. “Kev’s hugely popular among the players, so the mood is nothing like normal — how could it be with so much hanging over the club?”
