Grey clouds continue to hover over Tyneside

NEWCASTLE remained silent yesterday as the fallout over the departure of Kevin Keegan continued.

Keegan quit his post as manager on Thursday, less than eight months after taking charge of the club for a second time, citing differences with the club’s board.

The 57-year-old did not have full control over transfer policy and consequently his relationship with owner Mike Ashley and London-based executive director of football Dennis Wise broke down.
