Keegan played for Liverpool in the 1970s before going on to manage Newcastle, England and Manchester City before taking on broadcasting roles &#8211; but has an issue with women taking up a similar punditry gig to cover games involving Gareth Southgate\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<p>Keegan has previously been employed as a pundit by ITV to cover the 2010 World Cup but lately has embarked on a tour of speaking engagements around the country. In Bristol for \u2018An Evening With Kevin Keegan OBE\u2019 he told approximately 250 people about his stance on women giving analysis on the England men\u2019s team.<\/p>\n<p>In comments reported by The Times, he said: \u201cI\u2019m not as keen, I\u2019ve got to be honest, and it may not be a view shared. I don\u2019t like to listen to ladies talking about the England men\u2019s team at the match because I don\u2019t think it\u2019s the same experience. I have a problem with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His remarks were said to have drawn some applause before he continued: \u201cThe presenters we have now, some of the girls are so good, they are better than the guys. It\u2019s a great time for the ladies.\u00a0 But if I see an England lady footballer saying about England against Scotland at Wembley and she\u2019s saying, \u2018If I would have been in that position I would have done this\u2019, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s quite the same. I don\u2019t think it crosses over that much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <strong> MUST READ <\/strong> <strong>Leyton Orient fan who died at game was club&#8217;s ex-tannoy announcer[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Kevin-Keegan-women-England-4995131.jpg?r=1696490487515\"><\/p>\n<p>However, Keegan did share that the women\u2019s team was in a good place under Sarina Wiegman after they reached the final of the 2023 World Cup. \u201cIt is a great time for the ladies\u2019 game,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen 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. I joined in and then I thought, \u2018I\u2019m getting out of this\u2019.
