      Now they are keen on Sunderland legend Phillips, who has impressed as a boss with a title win at non league South Shields.
      The ex-England striker, 49, and North East club announced the mutual decision following their final day 3-0 defeat to Stafford Rangers.
      Despite the result, South Shields are still looking forward to playing National League North football this term.
      A club statement read: “Since promotion to National League North was confirmed earlier this month, discussions over the future direction of the club have been held between Kevin and chairman Geoff Thompson.

      “It has now been decided it is in the best interests of all parties to go their separate ways as the club continues on its road to a more sustainable model.”
      Phillips added: “I feel that this is the right time for me to depart, for a number of reasons.
      “To be manager of South Shields has been an amazing experience and I’m very grateful for everything Geoff has done during my time at the club.”
      The 2000 Premier League Golden Boot winner worked as a coach at Leicester and then Derby and later Stoke after retiring from playing in 2014 before taking over South Shields a year ago.

      Walsall axed Flynn having won just once in League Two since the start of the year.
      That miserable run left them floundering in mid-table, with his final match in charge being Tuesday’s 3-0 home defeat to Harrogate.

      Erik ten Hag has seen his side win the Carabao Cup already this term, and is hoping for more domestic glory.
      But rivals City could become top dogs yet again as they too bid for the FA Cup — as well as the Premier League and Champions League.
      United famously won the treble in 1999, and City could become the first English team since that year to achieve the same brilliant feat.
      The thought is sure to horrify Red Devils fans around the world.

      And Keane gave a brilliantly blunt answer when asked whether City winning the treble would “irritate” him.
      Responding to ITV host Mark Pougatch, Keane simply said: “Yep.”
      Fellow pundits Ian Wright and Karen Carney were left laughing as Keane cracked a wry smile.
      But the former midfield ace soon admitted he would not begrudge City all three titles, with the Etihad club clearly worthy of anything they win.

      Keane explained: “No, no I don’t begrudge teams.
      “I’m not one of those people, I look at people and I know how hard it is to win trophies.
      “So if City go on to win it, then honestly well done, because we know how tough it is.
      “But they’ve got a few hurdles to get over, particularly in terms of Real Madrid. 
      “But obviously they’re red hot favourites for the FA Cup and of course the league.
      “But I think Real Madrid is the big one. I think it’s the biggest problem getting over Real Madrid.”
      Meanwhile, Arsenal icon Wright reckons it will be “unbelievable” if City win all three trophies.
      That’s as the Manchester side prepare to catch his beloved Gunners in the title race.

      Wright added: “The reason why the treble is such a tough thing to do is because it’s an unbelievable achievement. 
      “They’ll have done well to do that.” More

      Jamie Carragher reveals his prediction for Kane summer transfer as Man Utd target Tottenham star

      The Red Devils are keen to add a goalscorer in the summer, and Kane is a reported target.
      However, Carragher reckons Daniel Levy will turn down an offer from Old Trafford.
      The Spurs chairman rebuffed Manchester City’s efforts to sign Kane in the summer of 2021.
      And Carragher reckons Levy will do the same and turn down an approach from the Red Devils in the upcoming transfer window.

      He believes United will then turn their attention elsewhere, with Napoli star Victor Osimhen another reported target.
      In Carragher’s opinion, Kane will then stay at Spurs as he has his sights set on breaking the all-time Premier League scoring record.
      Carragher tweeted on Sunday: “#Kane saga!
      “Levy will turn down an offer from MU [Manchester United], who will then have to sign another striker this summer.

      “Then every top team in the PL [Premier League] has a striker, Kane wants the PL [Premier League] goal record so he won’t go abroad for free the next summer.
      “I think he signs for Spurs!”
      Kane is out of contract at the end of the 2023-24 campaign.
      But his consolation goal in Sunday’s embarrassing 6-1 defeat to Newcastle took him to 207 Premier League goals.
      That is just 53 strikes behind Toon icon Alan Shearer’s all-time record.
      So Carragher can’t see Kane leaving the Prem, although Bayern Munich have been linked with a swoop for the England captain. More
