Kevin Keegan allegedly made a list of players he wanted to sign, then set off on his summer holidays confident at least one or two would arrive at St JamesīPark.
Did that list end up in the bin?
Then Mike Ashley told us of his old marra from London business who had strong connections with Real Madrid, and was put in charge (along with Dennis Wise) of bringing in new signings.
We found ourselves with FOUR from the Spanish League ... but we have to ask the question - did Keegan know anything about them?
Because rumours from St JamesīPark suggest the whole summer transfer fiasco is what started the bust up in the meeting on Monday evening.
Keegan is understood to have made his feelings plain over the club's summer transfer activity, and was again summoned by the hierarchy on Tuesday morning as rumours of his exit started to surface.

The role of former Leeds manager Dennis Wise, who occupies the position of executive director of football at the club, is another subject that seems to īboil Keeganīs pissī... just as it does the majority of Toon fans.
Keegan voiced his disbelief on Friday after James Milner's Ģ12million departure for Aston Villa, and we hear Ashley tried to īshiftīJoey Barton and Michael Owen on the last day of the transfer window ... two players KK insisted he wanted to keep.
