Keegan: Ashley runs Newcastle "from another planet"
Former Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan says owner Mike Ashley runs the club "from another planet."
Keegan says fans of the Premier League club had been treated with "disrespect".
"It is almost as if Mike Ashley has said, 'what is the worst I can do?" he said.
Keegan managed Newcastle on two occasions, the first from 1992-97, while he resigned from his second spell in charge shortly after the transfer window closed in September 2008, saying clubs should not "impose" unwanted players on a manager.
"It is not a great time to be a Newcastle fan. I just hope and pray they get the result [against West Ham] and then something good happens to that club, with Mike Ashley selling it or getting out of there because he doesn't understand the club," added Keegan.
