Known as ‘King Kev’ among the Geordie fans the former England boss has been reportedly sacked over a row with owner Mike Ashley about transfer funds.
It is believes that the 1970′s legend was unhappy that he was not given more money to strengthen his squad and build on a solid start to the 2008/09 campaign.
So Keegan’s going but who will replace him? Dennis Wise is the obvious favourite and is already available to back at 2/1. The former Leeds manager is the director of football at St James Park and has an excellent relationship with the board. It is also thought that the diminutive former Chelsea midfielder had the final say on signings at the club, which means the current squad has been part built by him.
Also in the frame is the Alan Shearer. The clubs record goal-scorer is yet to make his foray into management but the fact he turned down the job last time and is enjoying his TV career probably means the 4/1 about him is too short.
Gus Poyet, who worked with Dennis Wise at Leeds, is also fancied for the role. At 3/1 the Spurs assistant has impress many in his role at the North London outfit.
Lastly David Moyes at 5/1 is interesting – lets face it he’s not having a great time at Everton this season.
