Keegan Cheer At Blackburn!
Blackburn chairman John Williams admits he was delighted that Newcastle appointed Kevin Keegan as manager - ending speculation linking the Magpies with Mark Hughes.
Williams: "We're naturally relieved that it's sorted because our manager was continually linked with the post.
"I always felt that he would remain here. He values the continuity that he has and I know he feels we are close to a very good league position at the end of the season.
"We have a strong personal relationship and I never felt that he was likely to go to Newcastle.
"The job's unfinished here and I'm sure that we will continue to make good progress.
"We're having a great season and the future looks good for us."
There was added concern because Hughes took charge at Rovers in 2004 when Graeme Souness left the club for Newcastle.
