His time is up at
Newcastle?
Newcastle United are ready to sell Shay Given, it has been
revealed.
The Sun says Toon manager Joe Kinnear has been given
£10million to spend but wants more to strengthen his team.
And the club accept they will be forced to sacrifice the Ireland
keeper if Manchester City confirm an £8m bid.
It now appears inevitable that Given’s 11-year stay at St James’
Park will end this week.
And his first game for City could be next week — against
Newcastle.
