Keegan Leaves NUFC

Probably not the best post to start my new blog with, but how can I write about anything else when I'm gutted?

Kevin Keegan has resigned as manager of the Newcastle United Football Club. The guy who took the team from relegation to almost-champions in his last stint, and turned around a losing season to a mid-table finish last season. The King, the Messiah, King Kev... gone.

Gone but not forgotten by the fans. See www.nufcblog.com, or www.nufc.com for some of the opinion of this change. The ower and management team are not popular, to say the least.

Why on earth would new owner Mike Ashley, who seemed to understand things, have let the situation get to this point? Why are Dennis Wise and Llambias still there? WTF is going on? How, how, how could this have happened?

Newcastle have never been a stable organization, nor the easiest club in the world to support, but this is too much. I hope the fans who could go to the game against Hull, don't. Stay away in droves.
