From RTE sport.....
Manchester United do not want their players to publish any more books following Roy Keane's controversial autobiography. "We need to make it clear that we don't think it's appropriate for players to publish a book while they're still playing for Manchester United," David Gill, a director of United said.
"We want them to concentrate on playing," Gill said. "We believe they can do other commercial deals. (David) Beckham's here doing Castrol and Pepsi, Roy Keane does Aer Lingus, that's fine. A book is another issue."
But Gill said the club would not stop the publication of England captain Beckham's planned autobiography. "You can't apply rules retrospectively. If he's signed a contract, we're not in a position to deny him that opportunity," Gill said.
Sounds pretty sensible, lets get back in the headlines about football matches. This has been a turbulant few months and im getting a bit sick of it.
