KEVIN Keegan is widely believed to be on the verge of quitting Newcastle United after his relationship with owner Mike Ashley became untenable.
Rumours currently sweeping Tyneside suggest the Magpies manager decided to quit the club this morning after a series of disagreements with Ashley.
The pair are understood to have held a series of discussions after Newcastle only signed two players on transfer-deadline day despite Keegan's admission that he needed "four or five new signings".
However, with Keegan currently at Newcastle's Darsley Park training ground and the club refusing to make any comment, the former England manager's future is unclear.
Keegan threatened to resign on at least three separate occasions during his previous spell at St James' Park, only to be subsequently talked around.
