Keegan confirmed as Toon boss

The 56-year-old managed the so-called under-achievers between 1992 and 1997. In that time, he once had them 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League table - only to fall at the final hurdle and finish second - behind Manchester United.

Will he bring good times to Tyneside or is he no better than the cartload of managers they've had in the 10 years he has been gone? Decide in our poll.
