Newcastle United have hit back at Kevin Keegan's criticism of the football club following his shock resignation as manager last week.
Keegan, quit on Thursday less than eight months after returning for a second stint as manager, saying he was leaving as he didn't have control over the Premier League club's transfer policy.
A statement on the club's website said Keegan had agreed to work within the structure from the outset and he had specific duties in that he was responsible for the training, coaching, selection and motivation of the team.
But Keegan disputes the statemen saying it was made clear to him that he would have the final say on player movement in and out of the club.
