There's an article in the Grauniad today which provides a lot of background. It would seem that the Manchester City directors thought along the same lines as you Al Tel. Despite him passing a fitness test, they were suspicious and wanted to restructure the fee to include part based on appearances. Fowler took this an an insult and bailed out. Apparently he liked Keegan but was not impressed with the directors. There's a lot of info about Leeds' financial situation too. Much like Robbie himself, it's not pretty. �77m in the hole and they need to make some big payments (15m or so) smartish. The Man City directors have not only upset Fowler, they've messed up Leeds too because now Robinson, Woodgate and Smith are reported to be available and everyone knows that Leeds are in a parlous state and the buyers have the upper hand. P.S. Ethel - congrats on the victory over the corporate monsters. Subscription info WWW http://red11.org/list Reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] = subscribe to the list.
