Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan has been fired after holding a meeting with club owner Mike Ashley.
The 57-year-old, who walked away from the Toon in 1997, had been called to a meeting with Ashley this morning.
Rumours began to circulate early this morning after Keegan's hoped for three or four major signings failed to materialise as the transfer window closed at midnight on Monday.
Sportsmail online understands that Keegan did not take training this morning and that police have begun arriving at St James' Park and the club's training ground fearing a backlash from fans.

Crunch time: Keegan's days look numbered
The Newcastle manager was called into a 2pm meeting yesterday which club insiders described as ‘very important but not related to transfer business’ and it is believed a heated discussion took place, with managing director Derek Llambias making it clear they were not happy.
The situation has been coming to a head with Keegan stressing he needs more players, yet apparently he has been told that every player in his squad has a price
Anybody bothered....
I would love to see Bozzy eyes get the job and take them down..:icon_bigg
Either Shearer or Wise doing that would be very nice indeed
MANAGERTo be fair Newcastle do need 3/4 players! It seems to me that Ashley is trying to sell the club, only reason why he would let Millner go and trying to get Owen off the books. Anybody that goes for the job is a fool!
