Keepy Ups

“Kevin Keegan has approached me and they’ve offered me more money. I am definitely leaving Spurs. It’s all about the money. I don’t care about the final, I don’t care about the cup.” - Pascal Chimbonda.

Big words. Hilarious words.

And yet... today Willie McKay (our favorite Football Agent--much like the clap is our favorite STI) says:

"There's no hiding the fact that Pascal is frustrated because the club are looking at new full-backs to replace him.

"However, he wouldn't disrespect Tottenham or his team-mates by saying he doesn't care about the club.

"Pascal cares about Spurs, he cares about his team-mates, he cares about his football and he cares about his career.

"Even if he does move on, Spurs will always have a place in his heart as will the fans.

"Anyone who thinks differently only has to look at his celebrations on the pitch after the win over Arsenal on Tuesday night and that proves everything."

So basically, Willie McKay had him shoot his mouth off and didn't expect Spurs to be upset.

Also, does anyone really rate Chimbonda as a player? I certainly don't.

Toon Army forces the club into stupid sentimental decision. The BBC and Sky Sports both call it a shock. RTE called it sensational so that's the article I'll link to.

Kevin Keegan will sensationally return to Newcastle United as the club's manager.

He's done so well in management since leaving Newcastle. Next he'll replace Fabio Capello as England Manager!

The one thing about Kevin Keegan, at least he gets better looking the older he gets.


I mean asides from the fact that he looks too old for 55 and a bit like Nick Lowe.

I am extremely underwhelmed with the names that Newcastle have been linked with for their now vacant managerial post. I'm not sure what I'm expecting but two former managers, a former player that doesn't want it, and an idiot Frenchman ain't it. (Discounting Mark Hughes because he's linked with every empty post in England).

It's club football's poison chalice, isn't it? You have deluded fans wanting the glory of just losing the title 15 years ago, a history of revolving door for managers since then, and new leadership that just sacked the best man for the job.

Reading the press today makes it look like Houllier may be the man for the job... God help us all.
