The Man Who Sold Newcastle to Mike Ashley

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Keegan needs his own video, kind of under rated his career, very interesting guy

[@ulfurkarlsson5885]

When Keegan started as manager the club was a bottom team in Championship and in two years time they where a top team in the Premier League. And he built up a team that is the most legendary Newcastle team ever, Les Ferdinand, David Ginola,Robert Lee the famous 95/96 side that almoust won the league and where famous for playing "sexy Football" as it was called, because it was attacking and fun to watch

[@hayz1313]

@@ulfurkarlsson5885 actually our team was dubbed 'the entertainers' during the Keegan era. It was Ruud Gullit's appointment that promised 'sexy football' but it never happened, he fell out with Shearer and his appointment turned out to be a disaster.

Kevin Keegan was not buying the most famous players, he bought young exciting players when he was building up the club, i hope we can do the same now, there is a lot of exciting young players all over the world that we now have money to attract.

[@iansmithfootball]

Great video - one correction though at the start of the 92/93 season we actually won 11 in a row, not 10. We won 10 then played the mackems, who equalised in the 70th minute to make it 1-1. The mackems chanted 'where's your record gone' but then Liam O'Brian decided to curl a free kick over the wall and we won 2-1.

Class video as they’ve all been recently. Would love to see yous highlight the continuous downfall of Sunderland (wait til our finances are released in July and we find out where our £25m parachute payments have gone!) and how the owner has broken so many promises, from tweeting updates daily to going cold turkey and the recent hiring of Jim Rodwell. We are at risk of going bust from this coronavirus crisis but our owner who said he doesn’t have enough money to fund us in league one still wants £30m 🤯

[@juliancollins8162]
