King Kev Abdicates

It's official, Kevin Keegan has left Newcastle United. The official story is that he quit(remember he threatened to quit three times in his last stint at Newcastle) the club. It seems pretty clear now that Keegan probably quit the club earlier in the week due to his problems with the boardroom. When word leaked and the fan backlash began Mike Ashley probably tried to get him back Either he wasn't willing to give King Kev more power in transfer policy, Keegan was just so frustrated that there was no getting him back, but today they finally admitted he wasn't coming back to the club. There is a question if(and how much) he owes the club for leaving before his contract expires. Most owners would probably let it go(unless he pulls an Ian Dowie), but who knows what Mike Ashley will do.
