سرد محمود الخطيب رئيس النادي الأهلي تفاصيل كلمته الشهيرة التي وجهها لجماهير القلعة الحمراء بعد اعتزاله عالم كرة القدم في عالم 1987.

وقال الخطيب في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة “أون تايم سبورتس”: “كنت أحضر ورقة في يدي بها بعض الجمل سأقولها للجماهير، وظللت أكرر قول بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم، ولكن الجماهير قالت لي (لا يابيبو لا)، فلم أر بعد هذه الجملة الورقة ولا أعرف ماذا قلت”.

وأوضح: “أصبت في مباراة غزل المحلة وكان يتبقى 9 أيام على نهائي إفريقيا، وعندما أصبت ودخلت العمليات قلت إذا ربنا أكرمني ولعبت ربع ساعة فقط في هذه المباراة سأعتزل اللعبة، وخاصة أنني أصبت كثيرًا، وكانت معظم إصاباتي في النصف اليسار من جسدي”.

وأكمل: “حتى عندما أجريت عملية جراحية في المخ كان في الجانب الأيسر، كنت مصابًا بورم في المخ، وأجريت عمليه يوم حادثة بورسعيد وظللت 10 ساعات في المستشفى وكنت لا أعلم ماذا حدث”.

وبسؤاله عن دوره في تولي الجوهري تدريب منتخب مصر قبل التأهل لكأس العالم 1990؟، أردف: “كنت مقتنع بالجوهري كمدرب، وهو أكد لي أن طموحه كبير ويأمل في تدريب منتخب مصر، وعلاقتي كانت متميزة بالمسؤولين ورشحت الجوهري، وبعد ذلك بيوم تم اتخاذ القرار بتعيينه”.

واستطرد رئيس الأهلي: “أنشئت لائحة لمنتخب مصر قبل كأس العالم 90، ووضع ميزانية كبيرة جدًا من أجل التأهل، وكانت هذه الميزانية تتعدى ميزانية اتحاد الكرة برقم كبير، واجهت اعتراض وتحدثت مع عبد الأحد رئيس مجلس الشباب والرياضة وقتها وقال لي طالما الأمر يتعلق بتأهل منتخب مصر فالأموال ستتوفر”.

وأشار: “ولكن بعد ذلك شعرت أنني أديت رسالتي، وكان لدي اعتراض على أسلوب التعامل بيني وبين الجوهري، وقلت له أنت أهم مني لمنتخب مصر ورحلت عن منصب مدير الكرة بالمنتخب”.

وأوضح: “قدمت استقالتي من إدارة منتخب مصر في مرة ثانية وقمت برد 87 ألف جنيه هو عبارة عن ما تقاضيته خلال تواجدي، اعتراضًا مني على أسلوب التعامل، وزوجتي حزنت بسبب أنني أعدت الأموال، بعدها قدمت إعلانًا ومرت الأيام وكنت لا أتحدث في الأمور المادية”.

واختتم: “بعد فترة جاء لي شخص وأعطاني شيك وتأسف لي عن التأخير، ورحل ففتحت زوجتي الظرف فوجدت الشيك وسجدت على الأرض، وإذ فجأة تجد نفس المبلغ الذي أعدته إلى اتحاد الكرة هو في الشيك من الإعلان”.

Tottenham Hotspur could end the summer transfer window on a sour note if emerging reports are to be believed…

What’s the word?

According to talkSPORT sources, both Liverpool and Everton are interested in a move for Spurs’ third-choice goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga on deadline day.

Jurgen Klopp could be without his first-choice Allison Becker for six weeks and after a humiliating drubbing by Aston Villa on Sunday evening, no one would blame the Reds boss for losing faith in back-up Adrian.

Whilst Carlo Ancelotti appears to be desperate to sign genuine competition for Jordan Pickford with Man Utd’s outcast glovesman Sergio Romero also a name mooted.

Could prove to be costly

Despite dropping down the pecking order following the arrival of Joe Hart in north London, the departure of Gazzaniga to one of Spurs’ rivals could prove to be a costly mistake.

Liverpool are the defending champions and are a shoo-in to finish inside the top four this season whilst the Toffees look every bit like genuine contenders for a place in Europe next season.

Therefore, strengthening either team could come back to hurt Spurs later in the season. They should know better after last season’s near-disaster as outside the top two, it was rather close.

Jose Mourinho’s side were three points from breaking fifth place whilst only five points split sixth to tenth.

And it’s not like Gazzaniga is a bad option to have at the club either having kept ten clean sheets in 37 appearances, per Transfermarkt.

The Special One has previously lauded the 28-year-old too, calling him “magic hands” after his display at Wolves in December whilst former boss Mauricio Pochettino, who brought him along from Southampton for just £2.5m, always believed that he had “the potential to be [a] top [goalkeeper].”

CIES Football Observatory value him as high as €7m (£6.4m), so is he really worth selling in the long-run? Probably not.

Levy simply can’t afford to risk this unforgivable blunder.

West Ham United have been linked to a new striker this week and it’s a player that has haunted east London before…

What’s the word?

According to Italian transfer expert Ciro Venerato (via Arena Napoli), the Irons are one of the teams interested in veteran Napoli forward Fernando Llorente this summer.

It’s claimed that Carlo Ancelotti is also keen to bring him back to the Premier League having been the man to bring him to the Serie A outfit last summer.

The 6 foot 4 colossus is seemingly free to leave the Stadio San Paolo, although it remains to be seen how much he could cost with Transfermarkt valuing him at just under £3m.

Past it now

Llorente is a player that many at the London Stadium will know well as the Spaniard enjoyed three seasons in the Premier League from 2016 to 2019, playing for both Swansea City and Tottenham Hotspur.

During a League Cup tie with the Irons in 2018, the 35-year-old caused Manuel Pellegrini’s Hammers side all sorts of problems, scoring in a 3-1 victory.

David Moyes’ current defensive pairing Angelo Ogbonna and Issa Diop struggled to cope with his physical presence – Llorente won 60% of his duels whilst the Frenchman committed one foul and had to put in one last-ditch tackle, per SofaScore.

However, he could potentially be another expensive flop with him reportedly on over €60k-per-week (£54k-per-week) at Napoli.

In the past, Llorente has caused mixed reaction in the press – Frank Lampard once said in 2017 that there was a “sluggishness” about him and “sloppy” whilst Irons legend Trevor Sinclair believes his hold up play is “superb” and that he’s a “great plan B”.

It’s unlikely that a 35-year-old is going to come into United and outscore Sebastien Haller despite only scoring seven times last season, therefore, Moyes should steer well clear of this move.

An MP has made a claim on the proposed takeover of Newcastle United which involves fans of the Tyneside club.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Wansbeck MP Ian Lavery said with regards to the prospective £300m deal between Mike Ashley and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabian (KSA) group:

“We could [alternatively] raise it with the DCMS Select Committee. So, this might just be the catalyst which means that football supporters nationwide might be invited in through the doors to be involved in the decision-making process.”

Indeed, if Lavery as well as the other 40 MPs who wrote to the Premier League last week do not get a reply from the top flight or its chief executive Richard Masters, then they could well go to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to raise the issue.

Lavery argues that fans from around the country may then get an invite to be involved in the decision-making process.

The Saudi-led consortium, consisting of the Middle Eastern crown prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS), his country’s Public investment Fund (PIF), businesswoman/head of PCP Capital Partners Amada Staveley and the London-based billionaire Reuben brothers, officially withdrew their own bid after growing increasingly frustrated with just how long it was taking for the Premier League and its CEO to come up with their final decision.

However, if supporters were potentially to get involved in the process, then it may well be accelerated and perhaps make it easier for the Premier League to arrive at their final decision.

Nevertheless, the league will surely have to give more clarity as to how exactly their process works in order for this to happen, in addition to giving their full cooperation to the parties involved in the deal.

Geordies, would you get involved in the takeover process if given the chance? Comment below with your views!

Unless you have been living under a rock, you will have heard that Lionel Messi – a player who was targetted by Glasgow Rangers all the way back in 2004 – has told Barcelona he wants to leave the Camp Nou.

In a truly monumental story, it looks as though the Argentina international could be leaving the one and only club he has ever played for as a professional. He has managed a huge 635 goals and 285 assists in 731 games, whilst he has four Champions League titles and a record six Ballon d’Ors – he is arguably the greatest player to ever walk the planet. Currently valued at £100.8m by Transfermarkt, it would be interesting to see who could afford him.

There was a time, though, when he could have been a Gers players – albeit on loan. In 2004, when Messi was still just a 17-year-old, the Ibrox outfit made an approach to Barca – but in the end, they ended up signing Alex Rae.

With this news emerging, the Glasgow Times have put together an amusing article discussing Messi’s former Gers link, and it has attracted plenty of attention from the supporters, leading to some amusing responses. They took to Twitter to share their thoughts, and you can see some of the best comments from the social media platform below.

Let us know what you think!

Since it was announced that AFC Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe would be leaving the club when his contract expires this summer, Celtic have been heavily linked, and Danny Mills believes he has a lot to prove, which could be ideal for the Hoops.

Ibe’s career has not exactly gone the way that many expected as he emerged into the Liverpool side, but was then sold to the Cherries for a reported £16.20m. He has struggled to live up to that price tag whilst at the club though and has only managed to score five goals in 92 appearances, per Transfermarkt. However Neil Lennon has been an admirer of the player and looked to sign him last summer, via the Express.

Speaking to Football Insider about the winger and his future, Mills said, “His career has gone backwards. A £16million move and he has had a handful of appearances. A lot of clubs were after him at the time.

“Why has a player of that quality and that value not been able to get into the Bournemouth side? You wonder if it is his attitude or perhaps he is just not good enough. He needs to sort himself out. He needs to be playing regular football as quick as possible. A player that is still young with a lot of quality but he has a point to prove.

“Young players often get too much too soon, think they have made it and they do not keeping pushing. They think they have hit the big time but very quickly it can be snatched away from you.”

It is very true what Mills says here, Ibe’s career in England has probably seen him go through a rollercoaster of emotions and at the age of 24, it feels like the next step in his career will define how he is remembered and he will also want to prove that he can do well on the big stage.

There is no better place to do that than Celtic, and Football Insider revealed in March that the winger would be willing to take a cut on his £40k-a-week wages to Neil Lennon’s men this summer.

At Celtic he will be given the chance to prove himself and be given more consistent appearances, as it looks like he could be the Hoops alternative option to last season’s loanee Mohammed Elyounoussi as it was recently reported they would not pay the price tag that Southampton want for him.

The Ibe transfer looks to please all parties, with Celtic being able to acquire him on a free whilst the Englishman gets another chance to be at a big club.

Would Ibe be a good alternative to Elyounoussi? Comment below!

Newcastle United’s imminent takeover deal is still not yet complete, and it could still be a few more days before the official word comes from all parties involved.

Many Magpies fans appear desperate to sever ties with their infamous chairman Mike Ashley as a Saudi-backed consortium lead by Amanda Staveley is edging ever closer to landing the club in a reported £300m deal.

The Athletic’s George Caulkin spoke about the latest in response to a fan on Wednesday. He claims that even after Premier League approval, the transferal of money would take ‘a number of days’ and thus, the chances of any official competition should too.

He tweeted:

It’ll soon be the dawn of a new era in the northeast – maybe, just maybe Newcastle will be back playing in Europe before too long.

AND in other news,ÂNewcastle fans go berserk over this managerial news…

Newcastle United fans don’t particularly like former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys, and his latest comments have only riled them up even more.

Last month, the BeIN Sports anchor revealed that he wished it were a different Premier League outfit getting taken over by a wealthy Saudi Arabian consortium, which in itself caused anger.

And now Keys has claimed that he expects the takeover to get the ‘nod of approval’ this week before wishing the northeast side ‘good luck’.

The single toughest football logo quiz of all time…

He also joked that Yasir Al-Rumayyan, governor of the Public Investment Fund thought to be behind the deal bears a canny resemblance to himself.

Crazily, he’s not wrong.

It appears as if Newcastle’s takeover will edge closer this week with the Saudi-backed consortium, fronted by Amanda Staveley, agreeing to a deal worth approximately £300m, according to the BBC.

Keys’ comments were relayed by popular Twitter account @NUFC360 and the Magpies faithful have been reacting in their droves.

Many slammed him for being a “hypocrite” as well as being “bitter.”

Aston Villa will be looking to return to winning ways when they host Newcastle United on Saturday in the Premier League, but in the meantime one of the club’s most consistent performers in the current campaign has been delivering on the stage of international football.

Whilst away with the Scottish national side, John McGinn has been adding to his growing reputation in the 2019/20 season with yet another goalscoring performance, this time against Kazakhstan, and Villa fans have been reacting in their numbers. 

During the international break, the 25-year-old also netted against Cyprus and Villa boss Dean Smith will be hoping that the former Hibernian man can translate his promising international form into revitalising his club’s domestic fortunes, having lost three consecutive games to Manchester City, Liverpool and Wolves.

But for now, these fans are simply enjoying the sight of the Scotland international finding the net. Here are some of the best reactions following a tweet from the club.
