He just suddenly turned round, looked me straight in the eye and said: ‘If you ever do anything like this again I will bin you.’ That’s all he said. The fans were booing me and I honestly felt he’d get rid of me as soon as he got the chance.”We were in the car on the way to the police station I was in the back seat He was in the front with the driver. It wasn’t the best way to introduce myself, especially considering my reputation, which I obviously feared he’d believe. “We had to go down to a police station to receive a caution because I’d been caught on CCTV urinating in an alleyway. Little more than a week later and Dyer gave his new boss all the ammunition he needed “My first time alone with him was not ideal,” Dyer recalls.

Having refused to play on the right wing for Souness’s predecessor, Sir Bobby Robson, the midfielder had incensed not just his club’s supporters but those from across the country for an act which seemed to confirm his reputation as a petulant playboy.
Souness, after all, had been handed the job of tackling troublesome players head-on. Just a few days earlier, the England international had been booed by his own supporters, and his Newcastle and international career appeared on the verge of collapse. When Graeme Souness became Newcastle United’s manager in September 2004, Kieron Dyer sat alone in his hotel room and prepared himself for the worst. It was very unusual and surgery would have meant locking a part of his back that he needed to keep flexible.”. They cannot stop Mourinho from talking to someone in his own club who can phone down to the dressing-room and do what he wants. What can Uefa do about that?”Ahead of today’s game against Norwich City, when he will start Gilberto Silva for the first time since mid-September, Wenger admitted there were fears that the Brazilian midfielder might have been forced to retire through injury.He said: “We had to consider that possibility [of retirement] at some stage because of where his fracture was on his back.

But I don’t feel it really harms the chances of the team.”And no one can stop you from talking to someone We live in the modern world It is a little bit artificial. I think it’s important for English football and the Premier League that we know where he wants to go and where he wants to take the club.” Part of Mourinho’s punishment is a touchline ban for both legs of their Champions’ League quarter-final against Bayern Munich, but Wenger believes that will not unduly harm the club’s prospects for progress.He said: “It is frustrating for the manager to be away from the touchline more than it is harming for the team. Sometimes as managers we have to be reminded what we are about and what way the club wants to go.”Wenger cited his own club’s bad behaviour in the infamous draw at Old Trafford in September 2003 and subsequent punishments as being what motivated the Gunners to take the moral high ground.”After the Old Trafford match in September 2003 we drew a line under that and moved on because it mattered to Arsenal and people who love football,” he said.”Every club, like every football federation, has a code of conduct and it’s important everybody knows where you want to go.”I think it would be helpful if Abramovich spoke up That’s what I call the voice He is just a little bit powerful. At the moment that has not come out from Chelsea.”Football is about values and those are on the pitch as well as off it. Some moral leadership is what I’m saying.”At the moment they miss that voice I think it’s important for English football.

Arsene Wenger has called on Chelsea to show some “moral leadership” and to make their direction as a club known to everyone in the wake of their punishment by Uefa. I would never allow anyone to train who isn’t in proper shape.”He has got his own idea of football and believes that all that matters is to be physically fit.”. “From my point of view I hope he scores lots of goals and is very happy but also that he stays in England. Some players arrived late for training, and others arrived having drunk too much and they were never reprimanded by Irureta and I wasn’t happy about it I wouldn’t go back to Deportivo for anything in the world. I’m very happy at Birmingham.”Irureta refuted Pandiani’s accusations and said the striker was clearly frustrated at his lack of success at Deportivo.”It is absurd, what he has said is not true,” Irureta said. “He selected players who shouldn’t have played and chose the ones who trained the least.

The Birmingham City striker Walter Pandiani has launched another blistering attack on his former coach and team-mates at Deportivo La Coru?saying he has no intention of returning to the Primera Liga club, writes Patrick McCurdy in Madrid.
The Uruguayan, who is under contract to Deportivo until 2007, was loaned out to the Premiership side until the end of the season in a last-minute deal before the end of the January transfer window after fierce criticism of the coach Javier Irureta.In his latest attack he reiterated his criticisms of Irureta and went as far as accusing some of his former team-mates of arriving at training in an unfit state.”The coach wronged me,” Pandiani said yesterday. The guy who alleged this incident with Wayne then turned up at a police station with a reporter. What’s going on in this world? The boy should have been charged with [wasting police time] The club had CCTV which showed nothing happened. It’s unbelievable.”Ferguson confirmed the release of six youngsters, Paul Tierney, Ramon Calliste, Ben Collett, David Poole, Steven Hogg and Lee Lawrence, following his decision to disband one of United’s reserve sides.. People go into nightclubs, they see a footballer and they think ‘There’s a golden pot here, there’s an earner’.”That’s the sad part about it. Cable & Wireless have now agreed to release all seven players from their books – the emerging young players Dwayne Bravo, Fidel Edwards, Dwayne Smith and Ravi Rampaul are the others. What’s he going to do, sit in the house all day for the rest of his life and not go out? What happened doesn’t surprise me Human beings are not stupid.
