We are devastated to learn of the passing of Kevin Keegan, one of the most iconic, influential and deeply loved figures in our club’s history.

Kevin was more than a legendary footballer and manager. He was the beating heart of Newcastle United for generations of supporters.

@GaryBarlow I didn’t think it would be possible to top the original but you did. Phenomenal show x

@ZackPolanski ‘Gut wrenching’?? Taking a sledgehammer to a police officer’s back goes well beyond just protesting you absolute muppet. You’d be an absolute danger anywhere near being in power in this country.

@GeordieSpurs @SkySports Clearly! Let’s cut away cos we don’t like the result…

[Gingafreak @gingafreak77]

@SkySports why has Chelsea v Newcastle switched to arsenal so the same thing is now being shown on 2 channels? Absolute joke.

[Gingafreak @gingafreak77]

@ZackPolanski ‘Not the criminals here’? So fracturing someone’s spine with a sledgehammer isn’t criminal then? Absolute muppet. The thought of you anywhere near running this country is horrifying.

[Gingafreak @gingafreak77]

@RichJLong 😂😂😂 true unfortunately.

@FabrizioRomano “Contract until June 2031”. Contracts mean nothing as he’s proven this summer!

@TPTMerch @footballontnt How confusing is this to follow….

[Gingafreak @gingafreak77]

@worflags Dan burn’s quote seems very apt for a flag! "Nobody has done anything at this club without each other."

A lot to unpack.

Firstly, he's under contract, one he willingly signed.

Secondly, and I've experienced this as have a million players, I think he's alluding to ( on signing that contract) the old "do well and if someone offers £80m for you we'll let you go. Answer to this of course is a buy out clause that both parties should maybe have entered into.

Thirdly, he's doing something every modern ( and I hate it) player does. Won't take the very old school route of transfer request as it means giving up a large chunk of bonus/loyalty/salary. In short, modern players want to leave, be paid on leaving and on signing for a new club. Cake meets eating it.

If Newcastle said to him and his agent a year ago " we'll let him go if he has a great season " but it wasn't written down, tough on Isak.

If the player wants to leave but doesn't want to go on the transfer list, then that's the player wanting that cake and eating it.

If he's desperate to leave, put in a request, that alerts every club on earth of his availability ( if Newcastle accept it, and that should because no club wants a player who doesn't want to stay publicly/officially) he forfeits some cash but he's outta there pronto.

Newcastle can play hardball and make him fulfill his contractual obligations but they'll lose money month on month plus they'll need a replacement who does want to play for Newcastle.

I'd sack the agent if I'd received the advice he has, because his contract didn't have a " if you do well you can go at £xxxx", he's basically been out of action for a couple of weeks ( what's the agent doing to get him and club to agree an exit strategy???), an agent several weeks in should advise pulling the transfer list rip cord ( " you're going to lose some dough but your next club will make it up ") etc etc. And any public statement can be used in any tribunal against the ayer do advise him to keep it shut.

Piss poor agent work, naive player, "possible" renaging ( pure speculation at this point) on handshake by club, a football transfer room 101 in how not to handle a febrile situation.

"Howay, Dad" ♥️

It's fair to say Eddie Howe's kids are loving life in Newcastle.

[Gingafreak @gingafreak77]

Remember this muppet claiming Newcastle had no ceiling…. 🤔.

[Sky Sports News @SkySportsNews]

"There's no ceiling for Newcastle. Congratulations. Some other club's have ceilings."

@HotelChocolat unbelievably shambolic service from a supposedly premier chocolate company.. would not use again. Would love to speak to someone who can actually help.

Last month, @anthonygordon met @NUFC fan Ivy, who was diagnosed with hyper IGE syndrome.

When Anthony scored his first #ThreeLions goal on Sunday, he stayed true to a promise he made to her ❤️🤸‍♂️
