Guardian Friday - Keane hints he may stay at Old Trafford
Dominic Fifield
Friday November 26, 1999
Roy Keane has hinted that he may be willing to sign a new deal with
Manchester United once his current contract expires next summer.
The Irishman, who rejected United's initial contract offer six months ago,
had been expected to make a decision on his future next June despite the
Old Trafford club coming back with an improved offer.
But before he left for Tokyo, where United play the Brazilians Palmeiras in
the Intercontinental Cup next Tuesday, Keane confirmed: "There is a meeting
scheduled for next week between the club's lawyer and my solicitor so
hopefully I'll have some positive news when I get back."
"Things are at a delicate stage now," he added. "But fingers crossed I'll
have some positive news next week."
The Arsenal assistant manager Pat Rice has turned down the chance to become
Northern Ireland's new national coach. Rice, who won 49 caps, has been
assistant manager to Arsène Wenger for over three years and was keen to
retain his position at the club.
"I could never imagine leaving the fabulous job that I have at Highbury,"
he said. "But I told Arsène I had to speak to Northern Ireland because it
was an honour and a privilege to be asked."
Barnsley are considering reporting Blackburn Rovers to the Football
Association for an alleged illegal approach to their manager Dave Bassett.
The Barnsley chairman John Dennis said: "No official move was ever made
from Blackburn, so we were shocked that this came up in the first place."
Bassett, who took over from John Hendrie in the summer, has now signed an
improved contract to stay at Oakwell.
The England defender Gareth Southgate has escaped a ban for comments he
made to the referee Jeff Winter after being sent off at Leicester in
September. The Aston Villa centre-back, who was dismissed for two bookable
offences, was fined £5,000 and warned as to his future conduct by a
Football Association disciplinary commission yesterday. His manager John
Gregory also faces a misconduct charge for comments made to Winter, but has
decided not to appeal.
The Sheffield Wednesday chairman Dave Richards has revealed that his club's
playing squad faces being slashed to make way for homegrown talent.
Wednesday are £18m in debt and boast a first-team squad of almost 30
players, but Richards, who is also chairman of the Premier League, is keen
to further the progress of the club's younger players.
"How are youngsters from the academies going to get into the squads if they
are as big as they are now?" he said. "Some of our senior players have
virtually never played this season, so how can you get your younger people
in? You can't."
Oxford United yesterday appointed their former youth-team coach Mickey
Lewis as head coach until the end of the season. Lewis, who has been the
club's caretaker-manager since Malcolm Shotton resigned a month ago, will
be assisted by the former Blackburn manager Ray Harford.
The Israeli Football Federation has cleared its national team players of
allegations that they spent the eve of their Euro 2000 play-off first leg
against Denmark in the company of call girls.
Swindon have transfer-listed the goalkeeper Jimmy Glass, whose goal kept
Carlisle in the Football League last season, at his own request.Manchester
City's drive for promotion from the First Division is expected to be given
additional impetus today by the arrival at Maine Road of the Gillingham
striker Robert Taylor.
Taylor is expected to complete a £1.5m transfer after more than three weeks
of negotiation between the two clubs. "He is big, he is quick and he is not
discouraged by physical presence," said the City manager Joe Royle.

Keane to stay in £11m package
By Ken Lawrence Soccernet
Roy Keane is close to becoming the man who broke the bank at Manchester
United.
He hinted last night that he may be about to commit his future to the club
and, in doing so, smash the rigid Old Trafford pay structure.
The 28-year-old United captain wore a smile as wide as an £11million cheque
when hinting that he could sign up for a further four years as early as
next week.
The indication was that United appear to have been forced to climb down
over the offer that chairman and chief executive Martin Edwards had
stressed could not be improved.
The implications of what would be a massive victory for Keane and a weekly
wage of around £42,000 run far deeper than the Irishman's personal income.
Edwards has already admitted that a huge pay rise for one player would
instigate a knock-on effect among his club's other major stars.
So, while the imminent breakthrough looks like keeping Keane away from
Inter Milan or Juventus, United will have to negotiate salary increases to
others which could run to a further £4m per year.
Keane, looking happy and relaxed as he prepared for the weekend journey to
Tokyo and the world champions meeting with Palmeiras, revealed: 'There is a
meeting scheduled for next week between the club's lawyers and my solicitor.
'Hopefully I will have some positive news when I get back from Tokyo. The
talks are probably at a delicate stage but, fingers crossed, I will have
some positive news next week.'
Keane was originally offered around £32,000 per week but it now looks
certain that he will receive another £10,000, taking his earnings to around
£8.75m for the next four years.
United will also be forced to at least match what Juventus and Inter were
ready to give him as a signing-on fee - £2.5m, taking the total that Keane
would receive to more than £11m.
Yet, given that it would take at least that amount to replace him in
transfer fees plus a similar salary for the incoming player, United will be
more than breaking even.
The real cost will lie in the increased salaries of other players. Eight of
them, including David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Jaap Stam and Dwight Yorke,
can expect rises of at least £500,000 per year.
Yet, the realisation has now dawned within Old Trafford that if the club is
to maintain its place as Champions League holders and the superpower of
English football, a drastic pay review is required.
As Soccernet revealed earlier this week, the loss of Keane threatened to
create a nightmare scenario in which Beckham, currently one of the top
players in world football, would follow him within two years, followed by
Ryan Giggs, Yorke and Andy Cole.
Now, if United do swallow their fiscal pride, they are far more likely to
be able to keep Beckham, Giggs and the rest as well as being able to
attract players of the calibre of Gabriel Batistuta, Rivaldo and Zinedine
Zidane.

MEN Andy Cole - UEFA ignore race abuse
BY STUART MATHIESON
Andy Cole appears dejected during United's game against Fiorentina in Italy.
UEFA ignore race abuse
THE racist abuse suffered by Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole during Manchester
United's defeat against Fiorentina has not been mentioned in the official
UEFA delegate's report.
The Geneva HQ of UEFA have received Hungarian Sandor Berzi's observations
on the match and the brief chants directed at the Reds' strikers have not
made his report.
With no official record of the incidents UEFA appear set take no further
action against the Italian club.
A UEFA spokesperson told M.E.N. Sport today: "There is a mention of
bottles, programmes and fireworks being thrown onto the pitch but there
isn't anything regarding racial abuse. We cannot act on anything if it
isn't in the report.
Paul Stretford, Cole's agent, said: "It is totally unacceptable for the
players to receive such treatment.''

FIORENTINA FACE FINE -
FIORENTINA TO STAY IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Fiorentina will not be kicked out of this year's Champions League despite being
accused of racist chanting and firework-throwing during the 2-0 win over
Manchester United.
The club, who were thrown out of last year's UEFA Cup after fans threw a
firework at the fourth official during their game with Grasshopper of Zurich, may
receive a financial punishment - but a UEFA spokesman said they would
remain in the competition.
He explained: "Punishment will be decided by the Control and
Disciplinary body which meets on December 16. They will base any
decision on reports from the UEFA delegate, the referee and the
observer.
"If Fiorentina are punished, it will be financial but there is no chance
of the club being thrown out of the competition."
Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole were subjected to a torrent of abuse,
and UEFA spokesman Fritz Ahlstrom added: "Players do not
deserve this sort of treatment. This has to be stamped out because it
is so bad for the game. I cannot say what sort of punishment there
will be but it could be a fine or a warning."
The FA's executive director David Davies said he would take the
matter up with UEFA: "We treat these reports very seriously. We
treat with contempt racism of any kind at home or abroad.
"It is important everyone in Europe recognises racism in whatever
form cannot be swept under the carpet."

the 1995-96 season. This was his 5th League appearance for United (2 were as substitute).
His League debut was versus Leeds United at Old Trafford on Apr 2 1995, but his United
debut was at Brighton in the League Cup on Sep 23 1992. His first senior goal was
in the European Cup against Galatasaray on Dec 7 1994.
