Was the Geordie Messiah right to leave the club at this stage?
Following the announcement that King Kev has abdicated from his throne, one despairing Newcastle fan has gone as far as throwing his shirt and season ticket into the Tyne, in anger at the club’s board. A less vocal section of the fanbase, however, feels disappointed at KK’s decision to abandon the ship he loves so dearly - one Newcastle forum user remarks:
I’m not going to be very popular for saying this at all, but irrespective of the situation Keegan has walked out on us at the first hurdle.
So, should Newcastle fans point their fingers solely at the board, or feel a little let down by the perceived lack of tenacity of their revered leader? Votes and comments below, please.

Look at it from the bright side though - King Kev hadn’t actually taken the club forward in this spell. You were no better off under Keegan than you were under Allardyce just like you were no better off under him than you were Roeder. The club haven’t moved forward since the ridiculous decision to sack Sir Bobby.
On the other hand, we’ve just lost a manager who in less than two years turned our club from relegation certainties being run by player’s egos to a stable and improving top-half team.

Kev has not let us down. He came to do a job and others have made it impossible for him (or anyone else) to do that job. The job being “to win something” (Ashley quote).
