"HESTEN" TIL CELTIC?

Celtic will hold more talks with veteran striker Geoff Horsfield, who is being lined up for a deal until the end of the season.

Horsfield, 33, is a more unlikely target but Strachan hopes his experience and physical presence will add something to his attack which has lacked bite this season.

The Sheffield United player has spent the past few months on loan at Leeds. He would be available for a negligible fee and is someone Strachan knows well from his time in England.

McALLISTER KEEN TO RETURN

Gary McAllister believes he is ready for a return to management.

The former Coventry boss has been linked with the vacant role of Scotland manager after Walter Smith's departure.

McAllister, 42, resigned as Sky Blues manager in 2004 to care for his wife, who last year lost her battle with cancer.

However he is keen to work again and said in the Daily Express: "I wanted to get through the Christmas and New Year period before I thought too much about getting back into the game again.

"Now I have done that and I feel I'm ready to return."

Former midfielder McAllister, who won 57 caps for Scotland, admits he has been impressed by the team assembled by Smith.

"He was good enough to involve me with the Scotland squad and it was an experience I really enjoyed," said McAllister. "There is a great camaraderie in the present squad."

Joe Jordan has been told he can leave Portsmouth if offered the Scotland job. (The Mirror)

Portsmouth would not stand in the way of Joe Jordan if Scotland offer him their vacant manager's job.
Harry Redknapp has told his first team coach he can take up the international job if Scotland choose him to replace Walter Smith, who defected back to club football with Rangers last week.
The 55-year-old former Manchester United and AC Milan striker, who won 52 caps for the Scots, is among the favourites for the role - but his departure would lead to an overhaul of the coaching department.

VIDUKA TO START BORO TALKS

Middlesbrough will sit down with striker Mark Viduka next month in a bid to agree a new deal amid continuing speculation that his future lies away from the Riverside Stadium.

The 31-year-old's agent, Steve Kutner, has been quoted saying the Australia international - who is in the final few months of his existing contract - could leave in the next fortnight because no offer has yet been made.

However manager Gareth Southgate has repeatedly told the former Leeds frontman he wants to retain his services.

And chief executive Keith Lamb has now insisted disucsions will seriously begin in earnest once the search for reinforcements during the transfer window is over.

Lamb said: "Both Mark and Steve Kutner are well aware of our position, and that is that we want to extend his contract beyond its expiry in the summer.

"Gareth could not have made his admiration for Mark more clear and both Mark and the fans know the manager wants him to stay.

"With all of its attendant issues brought on by the transfer window, January is not the time to sit down and discuss the future of a player already under contract.

"Everyone is aware of the difficult season we have had so far. Players and staff are dedicating all of their time and energy to our improving position on the pitch.

"Once the transfer window is closed, we will be only too pleased to sit down with Mark's advisor to discuss his future."

Viduka has been a key figure in Boro's recent revival - they have taken 10 of the last 15 Barclays Premiership points they have contested to ease away from the relegation fight - and former team-mate Southgate has been delighted with his contribution.

As he prepared for the FA Cup third-round replay against Hull, the manager said: "There is no movement in my view of it in that I would like him to stay, not just until the end of this season, but beyond that."

Bare et kjapt spørsmål - er det noen som vet hvor Bob Taylor (Leeds 1985 - 1989) befinner seg. Sist jeg hørte om ham var han vel i West Brom., før turen gikk til Cheltenham.

Noen...?

Er tydlig på tampen av karrieren: 2 innhopp i serien som reserve i år, samt ett i FA Cup-en, for Harriers.

0 mål på 26 matcher for Tamworth i fjor. 19 goal'er på 37 kamper for samme klubb 2004-05.

http://www.harriers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Squad/Profiles/0,,10438~8453,00.html

Bob Taylor's testimonial match was played at The Hawthorns on 13th May 2003, in front of over 16,000 fans. It was an emotional farewell, as it also marked the end of his second and final spell at West Brom. Taylor then spent a season at Cheltenham Town, before joining Tamworth in 2004. A highlight of his time at the latter club was a 10-minute 2nd-half hat-trick in a 3-2 win at Leigh RMI on 6th November 2004. Following his release from Tamworth in May 2006, Taylor linked up with Kidderminster Harriers for pre-season training and signed a non-contract deal with the club in September 2006. (fra Wiki)

Utømmelig infotilfang 'der ute'.
Sikkert ikke bare meg som synest at dette er greit lesestoff.
Ex-player-nyheter kommer jevnt og trutt på mange tråder, kanskje greit å samle det.

Morsomt at du har gravd frem stoff om super-Bob Taylor, kjelvi. Jeg tenkte faktisk på han forleden og lurte på om han spilte fotball fortsatt. Trist å tenke på at han var boo-boy på Elland Road på tampen av sin tid i Leeds. Han har vel nærmest fått kultstatus i mange av de klubbene han spilte for senere i karierren. [

MILNER RELISHES INCREASED COMPETITION

Newcastle midfielder James Milner is happy to fight for his place if manager Glenn Roeder lands his January transfer targets.

The 21-year-old winger has started the club's last 14 games and appeared in 33 of the 37 they have played already this season with injuries having decimated the squad.

Having had to remain patient for much of the time since his Â£3.6million move to St James' Park during the summer of 2004, Milner is relishing the chance to prove himself in a black and white shirt.

Coventry-manager fikk fyken

Ett poeng på seks kamper ble drøy kost for styret.

I tillegg var Coventry-styret lite imponert over at Micky Adams ikke klarte å slå lille Bristol City ut av FA-cupen, da lagene møttes til omkamp tirsdag. Kampen ble den sjuende i rekken uten seier, en sørgelig statistikk som begynte med et ydmykende 0-5-tap for West Bromwich i midten av desember.

Coventry startet sesongen bra, men etter å ha sett laget falle til en 16. plass på tabellen, bestemte styret seg onsdag for å kalle Adams inn på teppet.

Klarte ikke målsetting
Adams, som i sine aktive dager også spilte for Coventry, tok over sjefsstolen februar 2005. Målet var å få Coventry opp Premier League igjen senest 2007.

- Alle i klubben har støttet Micky 100 prosent, men dessverre har ikke resultatene gått så bra som vi hadde forventet, sett ut ifra de store investeringene gjort i laget, sa klubben i en pressemelding onsdag.

- Jeg er veldig skuffet, men jeg forstår og respekterer avgjørelsen. Klubben vil gå videre og jeg vil gå videre, kommenterte Adams, ifølge Sky Sports.

Unskylder seg
- Dessverre er det slik fotballindustrien er, man får ikke tid nok, sier Adams, som er overbevist om at han kunne fått laget på rett kjøl igjen.

Adams tar seg også tid til å forklare hvorfor det har gått så dårlig med laget i det siste, dog forklaringen kan høres noe enkel ut. Salget av Gary McSheffrey til ligarival Birmingham var i følge Adams et langt skritt bakover for klubben.

- Salget av Gary McSheffrey var et stort vendepunkt for alle, fordi han er en kvalitetsspiller, og kvalitetsspillere er vanskelige å erstatte, kommenterte Adams, som ønsker å fortsette trenergjerningen i en annen stor klubb så fort som mulig.
