Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley said on Sunday he had put the Premier League club up for sale after falling foul of the fans following coach Kevin Keegan’s resignation.

Ashley was absent from Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat by relegation favourites Hull City when Newcastle fans protested before, during and after the match about his running of the club and the manner of Keegan’s departure.

"I am now a dad who can’t take his kids to a football match on Saturday because I am advised that we would be assaulted," Ashley said in a long letter to fans on the club’s website (www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk).

"Therefore I am no longer prepared to subsidize Newcastle United. I am putting the club up for sale."

Fans’ hero Keegan resigned on September 4, just eight months after returning for a second spell as manager, saying he did not have full control over the buying and selling of players.

Keegan has a history of walking away whinging, he's not a manager.
