Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan's future on a knife-edge after summit at St James' Park

Kevin Keegan future at Newcastle United was back in the balance last night after a summit with the club?s hierarchy.

The Newcastle manager was called into a 2pm meeting yesterday which club insiders described as ?very important but not related to transfer business? and it is believed a heated discussion took place, with managing director Derek Llambias making it clear they were not happy.

The situation has been coming to a head with Keegan stressing he needs more players, yet apparently he has been told that every player in his squad has a price.

Keegan?s loyalty to bad boy Joey Barton is believed to be a bone of contention with owner Mike Ashley, who tried to move the player out of the club when he was jailed. Keegan also wants to build a team around striker Michael Owen but the club?s contract offer has left Owen in a difficult position.

Yesterday, coach Chris Hughton informed Keegan the club were looking at Lazio defender Gugliemo Stendardo but the move was later ruled out by executive director Dennis Wise.

It is understood that Keegan had little knowledge of the signings made so far, including yesterday?s deal for striker Xisco from Deportivo and the loan capture of Nacho Gonzalez from Valencia.

To add to Ashley?s frustration, he was spoken to by police after downing a pint of beer during his side?s defeat to Arsenal on Saturday in view of the pitch which is not allowed.

 

I made no secret of my bet pre-season, so I'm currently feeling a tad smug! Fingers crossed for a result! :D
