Kevin Issue Ultamium

Showdown talks between Kevin Keegan and the board continued today at an unknown location in Manchester to resolve the current crisis that is being plaguing the club recently.

It is understood from an insider that Kevin issued an ultimatum to board; either Wise and Jimenez goes or else.

A strong one by the gaffer who is facing one of the difficult weeks of his life as a manager.

Whether or not Kevin will get what he wants, is yet to be seen.

The power struggle between Kevin Keegan and the directors have gone overboard with news leaking out that every Newcastle Utd player could be bought during the last transfer window; some thing Kevin wasn't aware of at that time.

It seems logic that a manager should take control of the team affairs, he's the one who field them every match day and keep them shape up in training.

What is happening now is that there are dealings behind the back of Kevin's (ins and outs) and Kevin job is reduced to a mere coaching role; something which is simply unheard of.

The situation now is getting worse, clubs hiring Technical directors will end up managers getting the sack or leave. Alan Curbishley is one fine example as he left West Ham due to a behind the scene politics.

For the love of the game, owners or chairman or directors should give the manager power to build his team ...... I'm not saying on behalf of our club but as a whole. You don't see Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger or Rafael Benitez getting their powers taken .... don't you.

As fans we want this issue to be settle fast, it's no use having Newcastle Utd on the press for the wrong reasons.
