Kevin Keegan says he has 'a problem' with female TV pundits talking about the men's game. 'I don't think it crosses over that much,' insists the former England manager.
Kevin Keegan is facing criticism for saying he believes 'lady footballers' are not qualified to express opinions about the men's international game. The former England manager made the remarks during an event in Bristol last week. In quotes reported by The Times, the 72-year-old said: 'I don't like to listen to ladies talking about the England men's team at the match because I don't think it's the same experience. 'I have a problem with that.
He added: 'It is a great time for the ladies' game.' 'When I was England manager I went to coach the England ladies and I had this perception of what the quality would be like and they were so much better than I thought they were going to be.'
