Kevin Keegan is facing criticism after telling an audience of fans he does not like listening to \u201clady footballers\u201d talk about the England men\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

The former England manager made the comments to a room of around 250 people at an An Evening With Kevin Keegan<\/em> event in Bristol last week and said he had a \u201cproblem\u201d with female pundits giving their opinions on men\u2019s football.<\/p>\n

According to The Times<\/em>, the 72-year-old said: “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.<\/p>\n

“The 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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

According to the report, Keegan\u2019s comments drew applause in the room. It is also said that the former England international went on to claim he was a supporter of the women\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

Former England internationals such as Jill Scott, Karen Carney, Alex Scott and Eni Aluko are among those whose punditry work crosses between the men\u2019s and women\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

Keegan, who managed England from February 1999 to October 2000 and went on to enjoy a career on TV, went on to say that current pundits \u201ctalk too much\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t keep talking, talking, talking,\u201d Keegan said, according to the report. \u201cThey don\u2019t want people like us any more, our day is gone, it\u2019s time for the next generation.\u201d<\/p>\n

When talking about women\u2019s football in general, Keegan is reported to have said. “It is a great time for the ladies\u2019 game.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n
