Former manager John Carver has said that Newcastle United will never be successful again.
Newcastle slipped to a 2-0 defeat to West Ham United on Monday evening and are rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table.
"Kevin [Keegan] created this monster and the monster needed to be fed. Unfortunately since Kevin left and since Sir Bob [Robson] was there, we've not been able to feed the monster," Carver told The Mirror.
"He created something when I was a young football coach at the time and it was so enjoyable to watch. The fans think we can get back to that but I don't think we ever will."
Newcastle will continue their Premier League campaign against Watford on Saturday.
