Allardyce And Keane Alliance!

Last updated : 19 August 2007 By Footy Mad - Editor

Keane claimed a lot of players bowed to the wishes of their partners who wanted to spend lots of the player's earnings in flash clothes shops and wanted to live the high life in London.

It just so happens, both Dyer and Solano had made it known they both wanted to move to London for "family reasons", and that seemed to be a big coincidence.

But Keane has suffered a similar fate as Sam Allardyce, with his players refusing to move north, while Sam had two who wanted to move south.  

Now Big Sam has backed Roy Keane in the war on WAGS - even though every female newsreader, model and the union of "Players Wives" have stood up for the rights of blonde bimbos everywhere.


The Newcastle boss admitted he has been turned down by players this summer whose wives were against moving north.

We all know the story of David Ginola, who signed for the Mags back in 1995. He was at St James' Park signing his contract while Doug Hall took Ginola's wife on a tour of Newcastle in his Rolls, and she came back in tears.

She eventually got her way and Ginola later signed for Tottenham.

Allardyce: "There is no European football here first and foremost, and it's a case of 'not a big enough city' on some occasions.

"When you find that it might be a problem because the situation doesn't suit the wife, then I agree with Roy.
 
"If you are a professional footballer, you are doing what you love doing. You are at the top of the tree in your field.

"For you to then not go to a particular football club for non- football reasons is something that is hard for us old boys to cope with.

"It's a difficult one to get your head around, but it's a fact of life now. Like Roy, I don't agree with it, but you have to deal with it sadly.

"People always find a change in life can be very difficult at first, but you have to cope with it, certainly when you have a short career in football.

"You can always go back and live where you want to live when you've finished playing and, certainly in the case of today's Premiership footballers, live very comfortably for the rest of your life."

A delight to watch, David was inspirational in his early career at SJP.

A world class player who was subject to abuse for letting slip the pass that cost his country, France, a place in the World Cup finals.

But that just spurred him on to prove the doubters wrong.

Went to Spurs in a controversial move. He said he and his wife wanted to return to France but ended up at White Hart Lane. Obviously London suited her better.
