Gazza ready to fight for Kettering control

Paul Gascoigne’s involvement at Kettering is shrouded in confusion after chairman Imraan Ladak claimed the former England man had left the club, with Gascoigne insisting he was prepared to buy out Ladak in order to stay on.

The 38-year-old former Tottenham, Lazio and Rangers player became manager of the Rockingham Road club at the end of October but a statement by Ladak on the club’s official website appeared to end his tenure at the club after just 39 days as manager.
