Kevin Keegan: "I said we didn't want to go down as the worst ever, and we have equalled it.

"What can I say? It's disappointing - but at one time it didn't look like we would get that many.

"You have just got to be grateful for small mercies. We have had a transition in the manager - we haven't had a transition of players because we haven't signed any yet.

"It's not a surprise. When things don't go smoothly at a football club, you don't pick up the points you should.

"It's definitely going to go down as a disappointing season. It might have been a lot, lot better.

"When I took over and looked at the fixtures, we only had one game away against the teams around us.

"Every game was against teams in the top half. We had to play the whole top four either home or away.

"I think the players have done marvellously to get together and sort it out.

"It was a challenge. The bigger the club, the bigger the scalp it is in this league.

"There will be players who will go home and reflect over the summer and think they could have had better seasons and contributed a bit more, and players who think they should have been given more chances.

"And there will be players who know they have given everything and just not had enough around them."
