The battle for Arsenal could hot up again after David Dein resigned as chairman of Red and White Holdings. The former Arsenal vice-chairman, who left the Emirates Stadium 18 months ago, sold his 14 per cent stake in the club for £75 million to Alisher Usmanov and became the chairman of the Russian billionaire’s bid vehicle, Red and White Holdings.
West Ham United hope to speak with Slaven Bilic, the Croatia manager, before the World Cup qualifier with England on Wednesday as they move closer to appointing a new head coach.
David Gill, the Manchester United chief executive, says the club would be forced to consider Manchester City's proposed £135 million offer for Cristiano Ronaldo, but said he had taken the reports "with a pinch of salt".
Steven Gerrard ought to be the Bryan Robson de nos jours. Instead he is in danger of becoming a new Paul Madeley who, with Don Revie’s Leeds and England, was so proficient in a number of positions that he never settled in the one he wanted. The Liverpool captain regards himself as a central midfielder, full stop, and has come to regret the versatility that has seen him shunted into different roles, for club and country. He offers a startling statistic: in 68 appearances for England he has patrolled his preferred beat just five times. He could not recall Robson or Paul Ince playing wide on the left.
NEWCASTLE UNITED lost patience with Kevin Keegan because they told him to manage the team in the style of Arsène Wenger and he wanted to do the job like Jose Mourinho. With the credit crunch looming, Keegan was given a £12m transfer budget in the summer, but produced a wish list that would have cost more than 10 times as much. His nominated transfer targets were David Beckham, Frank Lampard, Ronaldinho and Thierry Henry.
