Jimenez is new powerbroker at Newcastle
Tony Jimenez is being hailed as Newcastle United's saviour after he influenced Kevin Keegan's shock return to Tyneside this week.
The Sun says Jimenez, a pal of Tottenham boss Juande Ramos and Mike Ashley's friend Paul Kemsley, has extensive contacts in the game through property deals. He is not an agent but is well respected for his football knowledge.
Between him, Ashley and chairman Chris Mort, they targeted Keegan.
They heard Keegan still had the passion for the cause and when they met on Wednesday they were not disappointed. The deal was signed and the Geordie republic began a party.
Jimenez will be playing a significant part in player recruitment and will be working with Mort.
Whoever Keegan targets it is the board's aim to give him what he wants. If they did not, there would be no point in Keegan being there.
