Crawley & Evans high in the popularity stakes again!
From BBC website: Luton boss Richard Money slams Crawley's Steve Evans
Money has made it clear Keith Keane is not leaving the club
Luton Town manager Richard Money has hit out at Crawley Town boss Steve Evans for publicly stating his interest in midfielder Keith Keane.
Money has laughed off Evans's claim he is preparing a "six-figure" bid for the 23-year-old midfielder.
He told BBC Three Counties Radio: "When they put a bid in, I'll tell them where to go in no uncertain terms.
"Steve Evans is trying to be clever. I wouldn't call it mind games. I'd call it petty, ridiculous rubbish."
He added: "I don't think Keith Keane wants to play in front of 700 people. (I especially liked this bit!)
"We've had no bid for Keith Keane, from Crawley or anybody else."
I've been chasing him for a while to be honest. He's got great experience, and he's economical and sensible both with and without the ball

The prospect of the Hatters letting the academy product leave the club seems unlikely, considering he signed a new two-year contract just one month ago.
"I'm hearing they're going to make a six-figure bid. So, I presume we'll get a bid on 13 August for £100,001," Money continued.
"That's clever, isn't it? Unless the number starts with a nine, they can forget it."
