Soccer: Players are behind Keegan, says Fowler

ROBBIE FOWLER insists the Manchester City dressing room is united behind manager Kevin Keegan.

Former Blues midfielder Eyal Berkovic claimed Keegan had lost the respect of his players when he launched his tirade at the City boss following Saturday’s 4-2 defeat at Portsmouth, for whom the Israeli now plays.

However, Fowler, who is finally starting to hit form 12 months after his £6 million move from Leeds, said the players are backing Keegan to pull the club round as they look to end their 14-match run without a win at Leicester today.
