Keegan: 'I Am The Man For Newcastle!'!

"I don't have to learn those things.

"This is a very special club, and that's what people outside this area don't understand.

"I think I'm the best qualified person to come and do this job.

"I asked Mike Ashley 'what do you want at this club' and he replied 'I want to win something!, and that was good enough for me!"

As for Michael Owen ...

"Yes I have read his book, well ... I've read it in the newspaper ... and he is a great player, and he is entitled to his opinion."

Alan Shearer ...

"I will be talking to Alan Shearer, yes certainly".
