'The result of the Tribunal exonerates Kevin Keegan completely and raises further questions about the current regime at the club. The judgement demolishes any last vestiges of credibililty remaining and raises questions about the efficacy and ethics operating at the centre of the club. How can supporters take anything issued by the current regime with any seriousness? It re-inforces the need for a new approach and a new start for Newcastle with supporters, businesses and the city at its centre. Mike Ashley has effectively gone from the darling of the city to the Gerald Ratner of football who treats his customers with utter contempt. At least Mr Ratner has tried to re-habilitate and make amends for his mistakes, the current regime seem to be intent on repeating theirs.'
