Keane leaves United

I am devastated. =(

*******

On another note, here's another gem from football365. Which incidentally, is where many of ur Newpaper football reports come from.

Peter Ridsdale - Leeds United (at least for the most part)
"I would have no problem with players speaking to the press if I believed that they were intellectually capable of doing so."

Nuttiness - 20
Oh, he wasn't a nutter. He was just utterly, utterly crap with money.

Worst Idea - 70
Taking charge of wage negotiations. Legend has it that Seth Johnson and his agent turned up with the idea of asking for £20,000 a week in the hope of getting £15,000. Ridsdale's opening gambit was "I won't pay you a penny more than 35 grand a week." On seeing Johnson's jaw hit the floor, he said "Oh, go on then, 40."We don't know if it's true. But we hope it is.

Success - 70
Ask a Leeds fan about he last few years and, after they stop crying, they'll usually tell you "we lived the dream." So we'll give him that, at least.

Updated 2 blogs tonight. Isn't a 'fu yan' update now right yd? Heh.. =P
