Newcastle striker Michael Owen has admitted he and
his team-mates are still feeling the effects of Kevin Keegan's
departure.
The Tyneside outfit remain without a manager after Keegan
parted company with the club at the beginning of
September.
The Magpies have lost both games under caretaker boss Chris
Hughton, while owner Mike Ashley has said that he intends to sell
the club after coming in for strong criticism from supporters.
Newcastle are currently preparing for Wednesday's Carling Cup
encounter with Tottenham, and England international Owen has urged
the squad to move on from Keegan's exit.
He told the Evening Chronicle: "We all liked Kevin Keegan and we
were sad to see him go. We are all feeling it at the moment.
"But we have got to snap out of the doom and gloom and try and
get some confidence and results, and at the minute not picking up
the results is hurting the players.
"We are as much in the dark as the fans as to the next move, and
it does not make it any easier as Kevin Keegan was very popular
with the players and the fans."
