Did James Milner transfer to Aston Villa seal Kevin Keegan's fate at Newcastle United

Sep 3 2008

Has Newcastle United boss Kevin Keegan walked or been pushed? Who knows? What we do know is that King Kev wasn't too pleased with the transfer of James Milner to Aston Villa.

Keegan's apparently imminent exit is thought to relate to the club's transfer policy and the level of influence he is afforded as manager.

James Milner was sold to Aston Villa last week despite Keegan previously insisting he wanted to keep the winger, while rumours suggest the arrivals of Xisco and Ignacio Gonzalez yesterday were not on his say-so.
