REPORTS linking David Beckham with a move to Queens Park Rangers made me smile.
The Londoners, of course, are managed by one of my old bosses, Neil Warnock.
And on first sight, it’s hard to imagine the two of them working together.
Traditionally, Neil makes most of his signings from a lower level to the one he’s operating at.
The diamonds he has had are generally the types he has had to polish.
Beckham obviously comes from a different sphere, but the backing Neil has at Loftus Road has opened up a whole lot of possibilities.
I’m pretty sure Beckham won’t have had a boss like Neil, but if he bought into the way he likes to operate, it could work.
Neil has a huge amount of experience, and he has that ability to get the best out of the players at his disposal – whatever their background.
There are no prima donnas in a Warnock squad, but I don’t think for a minute Beckham is one of those.
Look at the way he willingly travels the world to play for England and help promote the country.
Football is very firmly in his blood, as shown by his eagerness to continue playing in Europe as well as the USA.
He came to train at Tottenham when he didn’t have to, and I think he would be a good fit across the capital in Shepherds Bush.
Neil might have played down the rumours, but I’d love to see it happen!
TOMORROW’S trip to Sheffield United is mouth-watering.
We haven’t played each other that many times in recent years, and Bramall Lane always has a decent atmosphere.
I went there with both Town and Sheffield Wednesday, and the steel-city derby, which will happen again this season, is as intense as most.
I always struggled to get my head around the fact that people from the same workplace or street, and sometimes house, could be up against each other so passionately.
Blades fans have put up with some tough times, but things have gone well this season.
That’s testament to the work of Danny Wilson, who as a former Wednesday player and manager, is under extra pressure to produce the goods across the divide.
It will be tough, but I believe we have the players to get the right result over there.
