The trouble is with Ashley’s much reported transfer ‘strategy’, if a player is sold for say £20m (Cabaye) then any incoming player/s have to come from this £20m. Sign a player for £15m then the wages for that player can only be £5m over the length of his contract. Adding agents fees into this figure then you start to knock down what you pay for the player, the wages or both. That’s before you debate the quality of the player you’re actually getting. http://www.themag.co.uk/the-mag-articles/will-mike-ashley-stick-twist-this-summer/

But Keegan says that the problems stem from the very top of the club - namely Ashley. "They've been treated with a total lack of respect," said Keegan when asked about the supporters frustrations. "These are great supporters, you know, and Mike Ashley changed the name of the stadium from St. James’ Park to the Sports Direct Stadium. You know, if he had wanted to know what the worst thing he could have done to upset the fans, that would have been it. "But they are just fed up with him," Keegan told Bein Sports, "and it’s not against Alan Pardew today, it’s not. "They aren’t that happy with Alan because they see him as a bit of a puppet really but I think that’s a bit unfair really. It starts at the top and I once had the pleasure of working for Mike Ashley and it certainly wasn’t that!" And 63-year-old Keegan, who this week declared that he would return for a third stint as manager so long as Ashley was no longer owner, also accused Ashley of buying the north east club, "as a bit of a joke." "The problem that you’ve got is that the fans feel like they’ve been absolutely betrayed and that Mike Ashley is just doing what he wants with the club," added Keegan. "He bought this football club as a bit of a joke with a mate of his. "He phoned up like you would do buying a car, saying, “look, I’ll buy this off you’. "Mike Ashley bought Newcastle just to say, look I’ve bought a football club."

Still got 12 months of his contract left here.

I thought Chris was our Happy Face.
