This isn’t new news. CPFC have wanted £100m since last Xmas. They said that to put City off a mid-season purchase.. RM and City are still interested at that price. What we all want now is a bidding war. How much do Blackburn Rovers get again? 🙏
I see we’re back in summer window mode.
We don’t want to sell Adam Wharton, he’s a massive player for us, he’s not out of contract for 3 years, we’ve got a new manager coming in, we’re going into Europe again, the £100m tag is a “we don’t want to let him go” not an expectation.
@monkeyhead78@Shirt_Disciple My guess is they’ll only have school grade level equipment as professional level stuff usually comes from Europe etc so is probably subject to tariffs.
Trump’s idiocy cheapens & sullies everything, like a reverse Midas touch..
What an amateur shit show it’s going to be.💩🙄😂
@monkeyhead78@Ibrahym22Nagi His Syphilis related dementia really takes hold at night doesn’t it? Apparently he sent over 100 messages on UNtruth social before he went missing for a week. Last night he posted a pic of him on the moon with no helmet on. You’d have thought his loving wife would intervene.. Oh.
@AgentSelf99b He’s hated globally & he’s trashed your country’s reputation too. You voted him in knowing exactly what he was. Not once but twice. He’s looting you now, enriching himself & his family plus his mates too. Yet you only seem to care about gas prices. Says a lot about a country..
@HLTCO It was 60 fans, each could purchase up to 4 tickets.. FIFA could have easily given these away and created a rare positive FIFA news story, but they didn’t want that.. 🙄
🤯 A mathematician who correctly predicted the last THREE World Cup winners is backing the Netherlands to lift the trophy in 2026. 🇳🇱🏆
Joachim Klement's model factors in everything from population size and GDP to FIFA rankings and football culture. His prediction? A Netherlands vs Portugal final, with the Dutch coming out on top. 😳
🔜 Klement predicts a purely European semi-final line up in which Portugal will knock out England and the Netherlands will take down Spain.
The forecast also includes some huge shocks, including Brazil being knocked out by Japan in the Round of 16 and Portugal eliminating Argentina on their way to the final. 👀
@monkeyhead78@mark_slapinski Based on his alleged diet, the stress of being mentioned in the Epstein files 33,000 times, the despot looting and his current cognitive display, he probably had one previously and it was covered up. Hence the very regular medical checks.

@DailyMail As per usual not a word of truth about Dubai from you. You only print this fiction because the UK govt tells you to. They do that because of the huge loss of £ (& tax) as ppl have moved to the safety of the UAE. We’re all protected here unlike in UK. Report facts not propaganda!
Friendly reminder
Instead of governments
creating Digital IDs
to track citizens…
Maybe citizens
should have Digital IDs
for politicians.
Track who they meet with.
Track who lobbies them.
Track where our tax dollars go.
They work for us.
Not the other way around.
@henrywinter Another superb piece. Thank you Henry. 🙏👍🏻
Kevin is one of football’s lovely generous gentlemen, who has given back to the football community constantly.
I wish him a speedy recovery and successful treatment,
(from a fellow Yorkshireman)
One of the many reasons why Kevin Keegan is special is that he makes other people feel special, and that's a great gift. Keegan is a footballing great who wears his greatness lightly. He’s King Kev and a man of the people. He's never forgotten his Doncaster roots, indeed is very proud of them, and the work ethic inherited from his father and grandfather, both miners.
A work ethic that propelled Keegan to the top. The great smell of Brut - and sweat. That was Keegan the player. He maximised every last ounce of his talent. That's one of the many reasons he's always been so respected. Another of the many reasons why there is such an outpouring of love for Keegan, and so many messages of support as he undergoes treatment for cancer, is that as a footballer he reached for the stars with his feet firmly on the ground.
Keegan is one of the greatest footballers in English and European history, a European champion with Liverpool, a two-time Ballon d’Or winner at Hamburg, a much-loved Newcastle United player and manager, and whole-hearted in his work with England as player and manager. Diego Maradona asked for his shirt after an Argentina-England game in 1980. Keegan played against Pele, George Best and Johan Cruyff. And yet he’s as down to earth as they come. In fact, he often sends himself up.
He cares for people. I went to interview him once at Maiden Castle, Durham, where Newcastle were training at the time and Keegan was the manager of the Entertainers. He sent a message to say he’d come to the pavilion for a chat when training was finished. Great. I might get an early train home. A member of Newcastle’s staff mentioned that Kevin might take a while because this was a day when fans were allowed in to watch.
He stepped off the pitch, and spent around an hour signing autographs, chatting away, never rushing people, just making them feel special. He dropped to his haunches so he could talk to one kid in a wheelchair, making eye contact, and having a proper chat. It meant the world to this kid that Keegan cared. He reached the pavilion, changed, and gave me 20 minutes of his time. He’s incredibly generous with his time. And there have always been so many demands on it.
He tells the story that his determination to sign every autograph and meet every picture request dates back to a moment when, as a kid, he was snubbed by a Doncaster Rovers player. Keegan had waited after a Rovers game, politely approached his favourite player, and got knocked back. He’s never forgotten the hurt he felt. So he makes sure he fulfils every autograph request – no matter how long the queue.
I hosted a talk with Keegan at the Cheltenham Literary Festival in 2018. He was promoting his autobiography so was obviously going to be accommodating. But, typically, he went above and beyond. Smartly suited, Keegan arrived so early that only the security guy was there. Keegan patiently chatted away with the security guy, asking him about his job, where he lived, just being friendly because that is Kevin Keegan for you. Interested in people. Good to them.
Later, when the talk to the audience finished, Keegan headed into the Waterstones’ tent to sign books. The queue was huge. The Festival was closing for the night but Keegan stayed two hours to make sure everyone had their copy signed or their shirt. One lady had her Liverpool jacket signed (below). Keegan not only signed but had a joke and a laugh and a picture with them all.
On Boxing Day, Keegan was at Scunthorpe United, his first club, promoting non-League football. He joined in the carols and got behind the bar, pulling pints, helping out, spreading laughter. Because that’s what Kevin Keegan does – spreads joy. And that’s one of the many, many reasons people are rooting for Kevin Keegan at this challenging time.
