Keegan came back to St James' Park in January for a second spell but rumours yesterday suggested Keegan and owner Mike Ashley were not pulling in the same direction.
One of the many issues that had been troubling Keegan was the enforced sale of James Milner to Aston Villa, and we hear today that KK was furious at Ashley´s attempts to try and sell Joey Barton last night ... another player KK wanted to keep.
Ashley was said to have refused to offer Michael Owen a new contract until after the transfer window had closed, suggesting Owen, too, was for sale.
Though it is not known if Keegan has resigned or indeed been sacked by Newcastle it is understood that he has parted company with the club for a second time.
If he did walk out on the Toon it would be the second time Keegan has quit Newcastle, having walked away in 1997 after the club went PLC.
It will be interesting to see if Ashley continues to sit with the supporters at away games.
Personally I'd STRONGLY advise him to stay at home!
