What users say about Kevin Keegan
Alvyn: Keegan should have been given 5% equity in Newcastle United's floatation cos he took them from the brink of the 3rd division to the brink of the EPL title. He should have stayed for over 10ys years at Newcastle as a manager and built a global brand. If he did he would have been worth at least 100m pounds cos the value of Newcastle would be that Tottenham. It pains me to know that Mourinho is worth 100m pounds and not king Kev. Keegan will always be the greatest manager for me. (March 21, 2021)Reply »
