Wow. What a difference a week makes in football. Arabs buy Manchester City and Real Madrid’s Robinho, Manchester United sign Dimitar Berbatov and King Kev resigns.

It’s a crazy, crazy world as far as the English Premier League is concerned and who knows what else is in store over the coming weeks.

One of the more interesting stories is that Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley is on the verge of selling the club to Indian businessman Anil Ambani.

And guess what?

Newspaper rumours suggest Kevin Keegan could be back as manager in a matter of days if Indian billionaire Ambani gets his way.

As far as us punters are concerned we have to try and make sense of it all and whilst it would be wonderful to imagine a third coming of Messiah Keegan this one looks a bridge too far.

Make no mistake about, the Toon Army are in utter disarray right now and are heading nowhere fast. totesport online sports betting go 18/1 that they will be relegated this season and that’s a decent price considering the turmoil the club are embroiled in.

Morale among players and fans is at rock bottom and that just has to affect performances on the field. The bookies perceived certainties for relegation – Hull, Stoke and WBA – have shown thus far they are nothing of the sort. That brings into play at least eight sides fighting to avoid the drop and after the happenings of the past couple of weeks Newcastle are one of them.
