Kevin Keegan (Newcastle United, 16 January 2008 - 4 September 2008)
Newcastle chairman Mike Ashley delighted fans when he announced 'the Messiah's' sensational return as manager. Keegan, despite his own admission that he hadn't been watching much football since he left Manchester City three years earlier, did reasonably well with a poor team when he finished 12th in his first season. He resigned just four weeks into his second, citing disputes with the board over transfer policy. Newcastle would be relegated at the end of the season.
