Newcastle have confirmed that Kevin Keegan will make a dramatic return to manage the club.
The 56-year-old former Manchester City boss managed the Magpies from 1992 to 1997 and will return to St James' Park as Sam Allardyce's successor.

Gerard Houllier and Didier Deschamps were strongly linked with the position in the last two days but the club unexpectedly turned to Keegan.

He was initially linked only with a partnership role with Alan Shearer.

The ex-England coach was running his "Soccer Circus" in Glasgow after qutting his job at City in March 2005.

He was also linked with a return to the club last summer as director of football following Mike Ashley's takeover.

No,not in the slightest you see we are prepared to give our manager and set up enough time to establish themselves and get things right for the long term.
It's not blind faith more of a give them enough time to have a real go at getting things right .
We are 6 points behind Newcastle without spending over £100 million over the last 8-10 years.
So, again no not worried about anything mate, we always knew there was a chance that we could get relegated but so what,we regroup build a stronger team and then try again.
Personally i preferred the football and the fans in the CCC, they actually appreciated their clubs and teams and had a real passion for football.

I am just going to concentrate on what Newcastle are doing anyway mate. Let's see where the respective clubs are at the end of the season. I am confident that we won't be in the championship, not so sure about Sunderland though.

However you do have to question the decision making here I feel ... Seems a bit knee jerk to me. Keegan has been out of touch for a while so it will be interesting to see how he fares.

Will he stay the course!
