Not Walking in a Keegan Wonderland.

For sometime now I’ve been a bit confused over peoples thoughts that somehow Kevin Keegan taking up to £10,000,00 out of NUFC is a good thing. I just can’t see any sensible scenario where NUFC being left £10,000,00 less in the kitty is some how for the best. Am I missing something here? Have I not spotted some tiny detail that explains all of this? I really don’t think I have, but I am willing to be shown what I’ve missed, so I too can finally see why this is a good thing to happen to a club that needs every penny it has.
My personal opinion on the matter is that it is not a good thing, that Keegan wants to take £10,000,000 out of the club. How can it be? Ashley won’t invest any money, so we need to hold onto what money we do have, so we can invest it in the team. £10,000,000 would get some cracking players to boost the squad for a Championship promotion campaign. I also think a lot of people don’t realise that it isn’t Mike Ashley being taken to court, it is Newcastle United Football Club. Just think about that for a moment. Any ruling in Keegans favour will be against the club, not Ashley. Is this pro Keegan stance because people think it will be a shot in the eye for Mike Ashley. A way of getting back at him for all the trouble he has caused? Are we really saying that Keegan is bigger and more important that NUFC? Would people be as supportive of Les Ferdinand, Peter Beardsley or Frank Pingel taking us to court? How about old boss eye himself, Dennis Wise? What if the stories of him being booted out at Shearers request are true? Rumours are that we are having to still pay him for his remaining contract. Is that right? What if Ashley had though he could try and get away with not paying Wise, so Wise took us to court? Would people be so supportive? I’m willing to bet they wouldn’t be.
Keegan has really annoyed me, I loved watching the guy play, I was head over heels with his management style in the ’90’s and now I feel like I’ve been stabbed in the back. Thanks a bunch King Kev, your crown will forever be tarnished.

That is all I have to say.
