Kevin Keegan has been given the backing of the NewcastleCity Council. It was understood that the Toon boss could be given the axe last week, but it seems he will be staying in charge.
Nick Forbes said: "Council recognises the widespread public support for Kevin Keegan, and knows how much he means to Newcastle United fans.
"Council believes that he is an asset to the club, the city and the wider community and expresses its support for his continuation in the role of manager.
"Council regrets the adverse publicity being caused as a result of the current situation and urges Newcastle United (which has been awarded freedom of the city by the council) and Kevin Keegan to come to a mutually acceptable agreement which will allow Mr Keegan to remain in post and manage the team effectively."
