Please read ourIn February 1992, Kevin Keegan arrived as manager at a club that had been so badly run for so many years, with no ambition.
After survival was reached, a busy summer saw some inspired value for money signings, both mature and younger ones. Newcastle United smashing it the next season, winning the second tier title in the 1992/93 season and roaring back to the Premier League. Kevin Keegan also making some excellent late season signings with Andy Cole the very special stand out.
Another electric start to the season saw KK’s side win 11 of their opening 13 PL matches, drawing one and losing only the one. Kevin Keegan regrouped in the final strait of that 1995/96 season, three 1-0 wins in a row, then it looked a fourth in row at Forest in the final away match. Newcastle missing loads of chances when a goal up and then late on a Woan wonder goal from nowhere saw Newcastle robbed of going into the final game of season level on points with Man U.
What the media and certain Newcastle fans didn’t want to acknowledge was the fact that Man U had a much bigger and better quality squad in terms of depth. Like all managers there will be things with hindsight even he will say he would have done differently, but that doesn’t change the fact, that this season became all but an impossibility to manage successfully from early December 2023 onwards.
Despite that, Eddie Howe inspired Newcastle United to a fourth place finish in 2022/23 and a return to the Champions League for the first time in two decades, also leading NUFC to their first cup final in 24 years. Remarkable. That week Newcastle dominated both Chelsea and Man U, winning both games, in between they were cheated by a shocking penalty decision in Paris that prevented all but certain Champions League progression to the knockout stages in the fifth group game.
Yet by the night of 2 December 2023, he had United fifth in the Premier League and on the verge of qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League and on the verge of another League Cup semi-final, which would have been only the third in NUFC history, two of the three under Eddie Howe.
