Eddie Howe has received the Kevin Keegan seal of approval as the Newcastle boss attempts to secure the club’s first trophy since 1969.
Keegan, back in the city he lit up first as a player and then as a manager of the ‘Entertainers’ which went close to winning the Premier League in the '90s, believes his old club is in good hands on and off the pitch. With the Tyne Theatre and Opera House packed to the rafters, Keegan entertained again delving into the past but focussing very much on the present.
“When I look at Newcastle, I feel you have a manager who understands what Newcastle United is all about,” he said. “The people who own the club now are doing things the right way. For the recruitment, they have got the guy from Brighton, Dan Ashworth. Look at what he did there and what is still going on there.
