Kevin Keegan will be the next manager of Newcastle after agreeing to return to the club he ran from 1992-1997. The club, perhaps giving in to the moment of giddiness that would naturally follow on the heels of such a development, released a statement that read, in full:
Geordie messiah to return - Kevin Keegan [...]

This week’s Run of Play at Pitch Invasion feature is—you might want to sit down for this—an exclusive interview with Newcastle owner Mike Ashley about his decision to sack Sam Allardyce. Ashley is notoriously reclusive and suspicious of the press, but I don’t know, I guess he decided I was different, probably when he [...]

Sam Allardyce is out at Newcastle, which is a good thing, because he’s been sacked in spirit for so long now that I was starting to worry he might zombify in the middle of a match. Newcastle are of course portraying the decision as one reached by “mutual consent,” which is always the phrase [...]

Spurs have confirmed, to the delight of whatever PA at Blackburn takes Mark Hughes’s phone messages, that Juande Ramos is their new manager. They’ve done well to get him, although it remains to be seen whether he’s enough of an improvement over Martin Jol to justify the ten-story belly-flop of what can only with charity [...]

In other [...]

Ramos has yet to prove he can break the sort of hold that Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea have over the rest of the league. This quartet dominate the Premier League in the same way that the Real Madrid and Barcelona duopoly do in Spain, and [...]

After a house burns down, the ashes all look the same, and after a prominent team falls out with its successful coach, the commentaries tend to be more or less identical. By the time the end comes, every aspect of the story has been gone over so many times that analysis has settled on a [...]

Martin Jol is out at Tottenham following a 2-1 UEFA Cup loss to Getafe at White Hart Lane—Spurs’ fifth game without a win, if anyone’s still counting. Did he quit, or was he sacked? Or (just to throw out a third option) was he slowly roasted over a low-burning fire fueled by media speculation, board [...]

Leicester City’s new manager Gary Megson is now Bolton’s new manager instead. Bolton fans will be unhappy, but then it’s not as though they were happy to begin with.
