Roy Keane: Former Ipswich boss
ROY KEANE READY TO RETURN

Roy Keane has revealed he is ready to return to management when the right challenge comes along.
The Irishman, who has been linked with the vacant manager's job at former club Nottingham Forest, has been out of work since being sacked by Ipswich in January.
The 40-year-old admits he has enjoyed his break away from football, but is now waiting for the right opportunity before going back into the game.
"I left Ipswich about eight or nine months ago and it has gone pretty quick, I have to say, and I am hoping the right challenge is around the corner," Keane told Sky Sports News.
"But having said that, I am enjoying my bit of time off because before that I have been involved in the game intensively for 20 years.
"So when you step back you do have to recharge the batteries and appreciate there's more to life than football and that's what I have done.
"But I know pretty sure if the right challenge comes up, I will be ready for it and I will be looking forward to it."

Andy Thorn: Not leaving Coventry
ANDY THORN: I'M GOING NOWHERE

Manager Andy Thorn has released a statement confirming his commitment to Coventry following "unfounded and malicious" rumours he is set to quit the npower Championship club.
Speculation was circling on Wednesday night that Thorn, who has held the reins since first being put in temporary charge in mid-March, was weighing up his future with the Sky Blues.
But, in response, he has told the club's official website: "I would like to go on record to dismiss the speculation surrounding my position at Coventry City Football Club
"I am as committed as ever to bringing success to the club, improving the players and the team, while at the same time playing attractive football. The squad of players are equally united in the same desire.
"The rumours I am considering my position are both unfounded and malicious. I am not sure where they come from but they are clearly not emanating from people who love the club. I hope that will put to rest this nonsense and allow our players and I to get on with our jobs."
Meanwhile, there remains no official comment from Coventry over the future of chief executive Paul Clouting, who is reported to be on the verge of leaving despite having only been appointed in March.

Eriksson: Not looking for loan deals
ERIKSSON HAPPY WITH HIS SQUAD

Sven-Goran Eriksson is not looking to add any loan signings to his Leicester squad.
The City manager brought in 12 new players over the summer and is pleased with the group he has assembled at the King Power Stadium.
However, the Swede did suggest that midfielder Franck Moussa could temporarily leave to gain some first-team football.
"There is nothing going on at this moment in terms of players coming in. I think this squad is good enough, as long as we keep producing results like we have recently," Eriksson told the Leicester Mercury.
"I don't think we should disturb the atmosphere in the squad by bringing in more players. They would have to be very, very good players, and that is not in the frame at the moment.
"Also, no-one will leave at the moment. Steve Howard wants to stay and he was important when he came on against Derby last time. I hope he stays.
"Moussa might go out in the future on loan for a month to get some games, but you never know. Against Derby, Moussa was in the squad but he might not be this week if everyone is available. Things can change."
