As Man City go into meltdown, many contentious issues are thrown up: the owner even being allowed to be the owner, the state of the finances, the rumours of loans to pay player wages and, of course, the murmurings of Spurs taking them to court.

Spare a thought for Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan. After returning to manage Newcastle last season as replacement for Big Sam Allardyce, you might have expected the Toon boss to have a bit of cash to spend during the transfer window.
But the club is playing hardball, minding the coffers and insisting Keegan shop for youth […]

They say that if you gave a million monkeys a million typewriters and had them bashing away for a million years, you would end up with the complete works of Shakespeare. One wonders whether Sam Allardyce, if given a million years, a million players and an endless dripfeed of cash could have turned […]

It’s about time the Magpies signed another Peruvian. Little Nolberto Solano was something of a hit at St James’ Park, especially with his prowess from free-kicks.

The Sun is reporting that King Kev is prepared to […]

Kevin Keegan has made it clear that he needs to make three or four important signings this summer (as well as re-signing Michael Owen) if Newcastle want any chance of making a move up the Premiership table next year. Setanta is reporting that Newcastle might be interested in signing Toulouse midfielder Achille Emana, if the […]

If he wasn’t a talented footballer, there is no way that Joey Barton would have been given several chances to redeem himself after a string of unsavoury incidents. The Independent reports the inevitable news that the midfielder has been jailed for six months after attacking two men on a night out in Liverpool over the […]
