Football FanCast columnist Jerome Johnstone feels that Kevin Keegan made a valid point and feels his words can be levied at a lot of other clubs.

Kevin Keegan is very much an enigma in football and you really either love or loath him. I personally have great admiration and respect for the man for the simple reason that in the modern day game it is rare that you are treated to honesty. There are no flies on Kevin Keegan, no false promises, no 5yr plans - a man who is desperate to bring success to a football club and realises that he hasn't the resources at present to achieve it. What is so wrong about that?

He makes valid points and I don't think that Keegan was just speaking about Newcastle as it can certainly be levied at other clubs. How many teams can you really see cracking the top 4 come next season? I personally can only see two in Everton and Spurs - are the likes of Aston Villa, Man City, Newcastle or Portsmouth really going to have any higher aspirations than finishing in the top 6, given their current squads?

Everton and Spurs have been in and around the top 4 in the last few years with the toffees actually achieving the feat back in 2005. They once again had a fantastic season and David Moyes has performed minor miracles and produce as hardworking an outfit as there is in the League. If the Scot is able to go out and bring some genuine quality and more depth to this squad then they have a great chance to overhaul their great rivals. Injuries have cost them dear and you kind of feel that Yakubu needs assistance in the goalscoring stakes. It will be interesting to see if Moyes gets the full backing of the board - they are certainly have a great foundation laid and you really don't want to see them miss the boat.

Spurs for me have been the biggest underachievers this season and it is absolutely criminal given the quality they have. I remember seeing them at Anfield this year and for long periods of the game played us off the park, and this is when they were 3rd bottom. They are geared up very much to join up at the top and fully understand why the likes of Jose Mourinho were claiming that they had bridged the gap and it should be considered a top 5. It just hasn't clicked this season for them but they have already shown signs under Ramos that they mean business. The Carling Cup would have given them a real boost and a taste of more to come and the fact they have brought in Modric, have signalled their intent and his arrival of will be the first of many no doubt.

I really hope that Keegan doesn't get the dressing down we are rumoured to believe he will in London this afternoon. I think clubs need to get a sense of reality. Kevin Keegan has arrived at Tyneside on the back of seriously poor managers, who have brought in some bad players in and the Toon boss has a huge rebuild on his hands, that isn't going to happen overnight and I'm sure most Newcastle fans are aware of that. The gap between the top 4 and the rest of the Premier League is ever growing and unless you are in a position of momentum you are going to fall further behind.
