A little insight to the return of KK
It’s publicly reported everywhere and quoted that KK never came back to NUFC but under the radar his friend Graeme Forster took him in last year - the Academy final day before they broke for summer.
It was arranged with no fanfare or publicity because King Kev insisted the visit was for the young lads and the staff. He didn’t want the attention on himself or anything to distract from them. Typical Kev, humble, selfless, and always putting others first. 🖤🤍
They were only aware they had a very special figure visiting them and a collective gasp was drawn when he entered the canteen, which was packed out in anticipation.
There was an informal open forum chat with them inc tales and laughs then he stood for photos with everyone in attendance from players, coaches,kitchen staff to security and the best thing is…at the end KK asked director Steve Harper to round up the players being released, literally their last NUFC day as a trainee pro and he gave them all a motivational speech impressing on them they had to keep going and with rejection you gain strength!.
Sean Neave was amongst the young ones who got a proud photo with him.
Simply incredible. #NUFC
We send our heartfelt support and warmest wishes to Kevin Keegan and his family following his recent diagnosis of stage four cancer.
Kevin holds a unique and cherished place in the history of Newcastle United, and in the hearts of our supporters. His passion, leadership and connection to the club and city have shaped some of our most memorable moments.
Everyone at the club is behind Kevin and sends strength and best wishes to him and his family for the journey ahead.
Kevin will always be warmly welcomed at St. James' Park and we hope to see him again soon. 🖤🤍
Someone has gone to the effort of putting together a dossier of refereeing decisions that have gone in favour of Arsenal and supposedly- "handed them the title" 🤣
Emil Krafth will bring an end to his seven-year stay at Newcastle United following the expiry of his contract this summer.
He will depart the club with 106 Magpies appearances and a Carabao Cup winners medal to his name.
Thank you for everything, Krafu 🫶
For various boring reasons we have to say that these are Hugh Grant’s views not ours, and that we definitely haven’t printed his post out and put it in a little frame on our desk
Newcastle United fans drove Sir Bobby Robson out of the club because 5th was perceived to be a failure after 3rd and 4th the previous two season and went into decline immediately.
Kevin Keegan quit, exhausted, saying he’d taken the club as far as he could.
Eddie Howe has achieved more than both of them. He’s hurting now. Booed off, having to take the blame for everything that’s happened over the last two years.
So, take a moment and ask, who could be better? If you can’t cut the most successful manager the club has had for 70 years some slack and give him some time to get things right… #nufc
