Keegan Has To Trim £10m Off The Wage Bill!
Keegan insisted Ashley had to ensure striker Michael Owen was handed a new deal ... which has not happened.
"The manager has made it clear he is only really a coach and all the major decisions are being made above his head in London.
"Several back-room staff have been brought in without any reference to Keegan and he is understandably frustrated.
"But it is the Owen situation that has really brought matters to a head. Keegan has been asked to trim £10m off the wage bill and it looks as if Owen's £5m-a-year is the number one target."
