"Football, bloody hell."
Sir Alex Ferguson.
Let's talk about footy...or, to be more precise, Kevin Keegan's shock return as Newcastle United's manager this week. The former Newcastle player and manager has agreed a 3½ year contract and according to one report, the club has promised him “carte blanche” in the transfer market.
So now Keegan leaves his "Soccer Circus" football academy in Glasgow to rejoin the Toon madhouse. But with Keegan's arrival, a new sense of optimism appears to have enveloped St James Park.
Football fans and management appear to want instant success nowadays - but success didn't come overnight for Arsène Wenger or Sir Alex Ferguson. I hope "King Kev" gets the time needed to deliver success at Newcastle. But while I wish him the best of British luck (except against Arsenal), I think it's a big risk on Keegan's part - it could all go horribly wrong if results turns against him, and this week's dream return "home" could turn into a nightmare.
Still, I bet Keegan will love it he succeeds in returning the swagger and style back to the Toon....
