Joe Kinnear has once again been quoted in the press (NOTW), this time he has hinted that things in the Keegan camp weren't as rosy as perceived and that the Keegan may have had a bigger part to play in his departure which could potentially sway the fans opinion of him if and when released.
Kinnear's interview revealed nothing more about the situation, but could be seen as stirring up trouble between Keegan and his fans.
"I could tell you lots of things about (Keegan's departure). You will have to wait and see. You might be pleasantly surprised.
You are making an assumption, like most of the journalists up here, and 75 percent of you are wrong. Wait until you see the statements. That is all I am saying. All will be revealed.
Maybe Mike Ashley will be accepted. Maybe he will come back and won't sell the place. Maybe he'll invest in the club.
Who knows? It only needs the team to go on a small run and people will easily forget.
I am saying ‘forget', but I don't know what the man has done. It is difficult. He's put £240 million into the club and he can't come and watch the team, but he could make peace with the fans.
It isn't all of them. He hasn't been given a fair crack of the whip by the press. He is a down-to-earth fella who loves his football. His kids love it.
I don't know what mistakes he has made because I haven't been here to look at them."
