------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------- [18] Tributes to Keane --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, June 13, 2006 by ed: from BBC Eamon Dunphy - Keane's biographer He will be remembered as a great footballer and a very charismatic, candid and intelligent man - quite a unique figure. He has taken his coaching qualifications and he would be a great coach and manager. He has all the qualities for the job. He was Sir Alex Ferguson's enforcer on the field at Manchester United, his leader. He had turbulent periods in his life. He's an extremely candid man and that can land you in bother from time to time. But when the smoke of the controversies fade away, a great career of a great Irish footballer will be remembered. Paul Parker, former Man Utd colleague He was one of the best captains Manchester United have ever had, alongside, or maybe ahead, of Bryan Robson. When he came to United he was loud and said what he thought - he didn't care what he said to anybody but when you could play the way he could, the players put up with the other side to him. --------------------------------- [17] David Lacey in Guardian on Keane --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, June 13, 2006 by ed: 'A footballer's true worth is measured in part by the difficulty with which he is replaced and for this reason alone Roy Keane will always be numbered among Manchester United's greatest players. His retirement from the game, following a brief appendix to his career at Celtic, finds United the poorer for his absence. While recurring injury problems indicated that Keane would have to give up playing sooner rather than later, Sir Alex Ferguson's failed attempts to find the Irishman's successor in midfield have underlined the immense contribution Keane made to Manchester United's growing domination of the English game through the 1990s and beyond. On the pitch he was Ferguson's alter ego, bringing to the team all the rage for perfection and impatience that the manager demanded. Keane's 12 years at Old Trafford ended abruptly last November following a row with Ferguson over critical comments about the team the United captain had made on the club's television channel, the interview being pulled by MUTV for being too inflammatory. He had never been one to hold back where what he considered sub-standard performances were concerned but this was clearly a rave too far. In fact Keane had already announced his intention to leave Old Trafford this summer, having been sidelined by a foot injury at Liverpool last September suffered in a tackle with Steven Gerrard. At least the storminess of Keane's departure was in keeping with much of his playing career. He could enjoy a perfectly clean and disciplined game yet remain a brooding, intimidating presence on the field. Channelled properly this gave United's football an invaluable influence, although when Keane flipped the outcome for an opponent could be painful and nasty. Ferguson was aware of this. Recalling in his autobiography the incident during the 1995 FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace at Villa Park, when Keane was sent off after stamping on Gareth Southgate, the United manager observed: "His Irish fire was fundamental to his immense value as a footballer but his tendency to go beyond the bounds of acceptability would have to be curbed." Generally Keane was able to preserve a proper balance between what was and what was not acceptable. But the vengeful tackle on Alf Inge Haaland in a Manchester derby and the subsequent admission in his autobiography that the foul was premeditated, which brought him a five-match ban and a record £150,000 fine, left a lingering sour taste. So did his personal attack on Mick McCarthy, the Republic of Ireland manager during the 2002 World Cup, which led to Keane leaving the Irish squad shortly before the tournament began. Against that the good memories of him will always be precious and none more so than his contribution to Manchester United's greatest Champions League victory when they defeated Juventus 3-2 in Turin in the second leg of their 1999 semi-final after going 2-0 down in 11 minutes. Keane received a booking which was to rule him out of the final but went on to give one of his greatest performances. "I didn't think I could have a higher opinion of any footballer than I already had of the Irishman," Ferguson recalled, "but he rose even further in my estimation at the Stadio Delle Alpi. The minute he was booked and out of the final he seemed to redouble his efforts to get the team there. It was the most emphatic display of selflessness I have seen on a football field." Keane was the ultimate team player which was one of the reasons Brian Clough signed the slightly-built 19-year-old for £10,000 from Cobh Rangers in County Cork and immediately put him in the Nottingham Forest team for a match away to Liverpool. The first time Keane met his new team-mates was in the visitors' dressing room at Anfield which also turned out to be his last port of call for United. Three years later, when Forest's relegation coincided with Clough's retirement, Keane raced from the pitch at the City Ground like one who could not bear to be associated with failure. This turned out to be his greatest strength and Manchester United's midfield has struggled to cope in its absence.

Leeds United gave borrowing a bad name in football, and fans across the Pennines are right to be concerned about the risk that the clubs new owners have taken, supposedly on their behalf. One year on, though, and the Glazers, and Man United fans, have reasons to be more optimistic. With broadcasters tripping over themselves to show Premiership football, domestic TV income will leap by about two thirds, helping the club to £14 million a year not anticipated at the time of the Glazer buyout. Meanwhile, Vodafones decision to cut short a shirt deal turned out to be another boon, because along came AIG to pay £5 million a year more. It is too soon to be definite, but these kinds of solid commercial deals should herald good news. At the very least, they help to offset some on the pitch mishaps, such as the failure to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League although they would not be enough in the event that Man United somehow failed to qualify for Europe at all. So it is hardly surprising that there is growing talk that the Glazer family has an opportunity to refinance their debts. The timing is uncertain but the quicker they take advantage of the more positive sentiment (what better backdrop than a World Cup?) the better for the Old Trafford faithful. If the opportunity is there, it should be seized a motto that hopefully England will also pursue.' --------------------------------- [15] Glazers to refinance --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, June 13, 2006 by ed: from Times on a long term rumour 'MANCHESTER UNITEDS owners, the Glazer family, are considering plans to ease the clubs interest bills by refinancing the £540 million of debt taken on when they bought the club last year, The Times has learnt. The prospects for a successful refinancing have brightened because Uniteds financial outlook has improved since the takeover, on the back of more lucrative TV and shirt sponsorship deals. It is estimated that these are together worth about £19 million a year more than the Glazers anticipated in the confidential business plan that was leaked to The Times last year more than offsetting the loss of income from the failure to qualify for the Champions League knockout stages. The timing of a refinancing is unclear, but the Glazers are understood to be pleased with Uniteds financial prospects despite warnings at the time of the takeover that they were overloading the club with debt. The family used NM Rothschild and JPMorgan to advise them during the takeover, and the banks are likely to be involved in any future work. Most of the extra money comes from the FA Premier Leagues television rights deals. According to the business plan, the Glazer family expected TV income of £28 million a year between 2007 and 2010. The actual figure is likely to be about £42.5 million a year. A shirt sponsorship deal with the insurer AIG will generate £14.1 million a year over the next four seasons £4.5 million more than forecast by the Glazers. The family took on borrowings with punitive interest rates to help them to buy the club, including £210 million of preferred shares that accumulate interest at a rate of 20 per cent, and a further £65 million at 14 per cent. A further £265 million of bank borrowings attract rates of between 7.3 and 11.1 per cent at current rates.' http://www.qksrv.net/click-795737-5590780 Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news --------------------------------- [14] Order the Red News Summer Mag - only available by mail order and not on sale at any game --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, June 13, 2006 by ed: The Red News Summer Special (issue 126) is out at the end of June and is ONLY available by online or mail order.

We are not doing anything behind Manchester United's back but, first of all, we must find out whether he is really on the market for a fair price." --------------------------------- [12] Rooney not to play yet --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, June 13, 2006 by ed: from BBC 'Striker Wayne Rooney is unlikely to make his comeback for England in Thursday's World Cup game with Trinidad and Tobago, according to reports. It is understood that the medical experts who said Rooney's foot bone had healed will join England on Friday - so will not reassess him before the game. They are thought to have warned the 20-year-old he risks a secondary injury if he returns before he is match fit. Coach Sven-Goran Eriksson is unlikely to risk playing him without clearance. England know that victory over Trinidad and Tobago in Nuremberg will guarantee their place in the second round of the tournament. Rooney's club, Manchester United, made a statement after Rooney was passed fit saying he would not be able to play until after the group stages of the World Cup. It appeared that Eriksson refused to accept this agreement, promising instead to bring the independent medical experts to Germany to give Rooney the once-over before he played. That would seem to suggest that Rooney will not play at least until the final Group B game against Sweden on 20 June. Rooney has been training hard and is expected to play a full part in Tuesday's session. However, he has not played since breaking his foot against Chelsea on 29 April. BBC Five Live Sport World Cup correspondent Jonathan Legard said Rooney's eagerness to play was clear to all the England players. "Rooney is difficult to hold back, according to Peter Crouch. He wants to play all the time," said Legard. "It's how Sven-Goran Eriksson handles this driven mentality - which is very different to Michael Owen - which will decide England's World Cup prospects. "Owen needs matches, Rooney needs matches and England need both players." --------------------------------- [11] Telegraph - calm down Rooney --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, June 13, 2006 by ed: 'The two independent consultants who last week declared Wayne Rooney fit to join Sven-Goran Eriksson's World Cup campaign rejected an appeal from England to let him play against Trinidad and Tobago on Thursday. The Daily Telegraph has learned that Professor Angus Wallace and Professor Chris Moran, the two specialists from the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham who had the final say on Rooney's broken foot scans last Wednesday, were asked whether it would be possible to rush him back to play the game in Nuremberg. They advised against it on the grounds that he would still not be match fit and was at risk of further injury. Eriksson and England appear to have accepted that advice and Wallace and Moran will instead fly to the England team base in Baden Baden on Friday to check on Rooney's fitness, with a view to him playing some part in the final Group B match against Sweden next Tuesday. The latest developments in the saga came as Football Association chief executive Brian Barwick last night attempted to defuse the row with Manchester United over Rooney. In an exclusive interview with The Daily Telegraph, Barwick said peace had been restored with Old Trafford after a furious row last week. It also emerged yesterday that there are growing concerns inside the England camp at Rooney's exuberance in training. It is understood he has been told to calm down amid fears that in his determination to prove his fitness, he could injure himself or his team-mates. It is not clear if the FA's latest attempt to clear Rooney has won United's blessing, but they are hoping a clean bill of health from Wallace and Moran will persuade the club to drop their concerns. United, in public at least, accept that it is ultimately a decision for the FA but are examining their legal options in the event of Rooney being injured on England duty. United and the FA were involved in a stand-off after Eriksson indicated that he was prepared to go against medical opinion and play Rooney before the knockout stages. But Barwick insists a truce has been called and that the sides are working together. He said: "I think it's important to say I have never had a heated conversation with David Gill, ever. "I find him one of life's genuine people, and a very easy person to talk to and do business with. I'd like to think that he thinks the same of me, and we did our bit to make sure there was a sensible dialogue. "Manchester United and the Football Association have a very decent and long-standing relationship. Period. "My role last week involved keeping communication open with Manchester United and David Gill, which I did. We had some constructive dialogue and now we move forward." Barwick refused to comment on the threat of legal action from United but added he would not hesitate to take steps he believed were necessary to give England their best chance of winning the World Cup.' --------------------------------- [10] SKY on Ruud --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, June 13, 2006 by ed: 'Van Nistelrooy believes critical comments from Vieira in the Frenchman's book and also those of Wenger portray the pair in a bad light. "I don't care," continued van Nistelrooy in response to Vieira's aspersions. "Obviously the incident that happened after the Man United - Arsenal match in September 2003 has affected him. "To talk about it three years later with so much aggression, that means he must have been very frustrated. He can say what he wants - he's promoted his book very well. "I didn't understand why Arsene Wenger let himself down like that. Maybe he wanted to put some doubt in my mind - some coaches are ready to do anything." http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-795737-10366578 Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news --------------------------------- [9] More Ruud --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, June 13, 2006 by ed: "I am not frustrated.

Sir Alex Ferguson's information is that the striker will be held back, although the United manager is also aware that he may be in for a nasty surprise. United's medical staff have been in almost daily contact with the Football Association and they have been told that there is no need for a delegation from Old Trafford to travel to Germany yet. Sven-Goran Eriksson has promised that the club doctor Tony Gill and an independent specialist, Prof Angus Wallace of Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre, will be welcomed into England's headquarters as soon as it is believed Rooney may be fit enough to play. As a courtesy the two men will be allowed to provide a second opinion, although Eriksson has also made it clear he will not necessarily go along with their recommendation. As far as United are concerned, that invitation has not yet been issued and preliminary discussions have been about the possibility of sending representatives to Baden-Baden after Thursday. Ferguson has taken this to mean Eriksson will not involve Rooney, although it should not be definitively ruled out. Relations between the two managers are at an all-time low and Eriksson in his current mood may think he has nothing to lose. The Swede has shown a new side to his character in the past few weeks and has been giving serious consideration to making Rooney a second-half substitute. Rooney has already informed Eriksson that he regards himself as fit and ready, although it also emerged last night that there have been misgivings in the England camp that he may be exerting himself too strenuously in his desperation to show off his condition in full-contact training.' --------------------------------- [6] The Best --------------------------------- Posted Tuesday, June 13, 2006 by ed: The Best Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news M, L (28 inches high, 22 inches wide), XL (29 inches high, 24 inches wide) and XXL sizes available Just £15 inc p&p UK, £17 ROW - product code is, simply, BEST You can order by sending a cheque to Red News, P.O.Box 176, Manchester, M16 8LG.

Hands even tabled a Commons motion condemning Ferguson for his continuing efforts to prevent Rooney from playing for the England team, attacking what he called the shenanigans over when the young striker will play. The motion says: This House condemns the shenanigans of Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United manager and his continuing efforts to prevent Wayne Rooney from playing for England in the World Cup and calls on the Prime Minister to use his long-standing friendship with Sir Alex to lobby for Rooneys inclusion at the appropriate time. Mr Hands said of the Scottish manager: It seems to me that Sir Alex is motivated more by the interests of Manchester United. Kev, Dublin --------------------------------- [33] The next...film...
