Keegan: "The Fans Shouldn't Worry"
By Tyne-talk August 30 2008
Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan has called for people to stay calm and not to worry, as he isn't. He spoke out regarding transfers, contract negotiations and the injury crisis which has left him with little selection for the next two or three matches.
After the recent sale of James Milner and the reported issues with Michael Owen's new contract, the worry has been that there will be no new replacements and that should more players incur injury the club will begin to suffer.

Keegan said:

"I don't think any player is untouchable, that's the first thing I have got to say.

That's not to say in any way, shape or form that we want to see Michael Owen leave this club. I certainly would not support that.

But look around football and look what's happening; and I'm afraid a club and a manager not wanting a player to go sometimes is not enough.

At the moment, I am sat here very relaxed about where we are. Yes, we have got a lot of injuries - that happens in football - but those players will get over the injuries, they will come back into the team and they will perform for the club.

The fans shouldn't be worried. I am certainly not - and if I was worried, I would tell them."
