But that's the last time."Nicolas Anelka is in trouble with the Real Madrid coach, Vicente del Bosque, after Tuesday's 3-1 victory over Rosenborg Trondheim in the Champions' League. Del Bosque is angry with the striker for the way he slowly peeled off his track suit when preparing to come on as substitute for the Dutch midfielder Clarence Seedorf in the dying seconds of Madrid's win."I wasn't happy with the way he accepted the instruction to prepare to play," said Del Bosque, who is temporarily in charge. "When the stadium is completed by next August it will hold more than 52,000 and be one of the finest stadiums in Europe."Liverpool and Sunderland are competing for the signature of Bolton's stylish midfielder Claus Jensen. The Liverpool manager, Gerard Houllier has made an inquiry for Jensen who would be an ideal replacement for Jamie Redknapp, who has a long-term injury. But the Irishman claimed he would make a decision on his future at the end of the season. After the Champions' League defeat by Fiorentina a fortnight ago, Keane hinted that he would have positive news. Juventus were believed to be at the head of the queue to take Keane away from Old Trafford. But United have wrapped up the deal before 1 January, when he would be allowed to sign a pre-contract agreement with any European club under the Bosman ruling.The deal proves just how highly Sir Alex values his captain, who was a driving force in United's historic treble last season and scored the winner to seal the World Club Championship last week.
Privately, Keane always maintained that he wanted to stay at United.United's gamble in giving Keane his record contract was given a thumbs- up in the City when the club's shares shot up 4.5p to 191.5p during the day, a rise of over two per cent.Newcastle have reacted warmly to the suggestion by Kevin Keegan that England could play their World Cup qualifier against Germany at St James' Park. The England coach believes the intimate atmosphere of the Tyneside stadium could prove to his side's advantage with Wembley under reconstruction."Newcastle would obviously be very interested in hosting an international game at St James' Park," the club's chief executive, Freddie Fletcher, said. Keane had delayed an announcement about a new deal in August, sparking rumours that he would be leaving the club. The new deal, reported to be worth pounds 50,000 a week, will make the United captain the best paid player not only at Old Trafford but in English football as a whole. How then can it hold the cup finals in April and May and be converted in time for athletics in August or September?".
SIR ALEX FERGUSON, the Manchester United manager, finally got his way yesterday when his most prized asset, Roy Keane, signed a new four-year contract. Middleton also warned that if Wembley was redesigned to also house facilities for athletics events it would cast doubt on the major football events, including the FA Cup final.He explained: "If Wembley is to become an athletics stadium too and bids to host the 2005 World Championships, it will take six months to convert the stadium. We are aware of the emotional attachment for the fans and we are in good-faith negotiations with Wembley - but we shall not be held to ransom."Our concern is over admission prices when Wembley is servicing a debt of at least pounds 350m and we want guarantees about the level of entry prices. If you have one of the lower division clubs in a play-off final and you are asking pounds 50 a ticket then not many fans may be able to afford to turn up."The League holds five major football finals at Wembley each year - the Worthington Cup, the three divisional play-offs and the Auto Windscreens Shield. I'm in great shape and my boyfriend is with me on the tour," she said.Wiberg will again be among the favourites in today's giant slalom which takes place on the same piste.. THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE has warned that it may be forced to take its five major finals away from the rebuilt Wembley Stadium.
