Manchester United's assistant coach Carlos Queiroz, who has been cited
as a likely candidate to take the helm of Benfica, said he was staying put
at the English club."Don't even go there. My future lies with
Manchester United," he told Lisbon-based news radio TSF when asked
about the Portuguese media reports linking him to a move to
Benfica.Benfica are looking for a new coach since Dutchman Ronald Koeman
resigned Monday to join PSV Eindhoven on a two-year contract after leading
the defending Portuguese champions to a third place finish in the domestic
league.Queiroz, who has coached the national teams of Portugal, South
Africa and the United Arab Emirates, joined Manchester United for the
first time in June 2002.He was was appointed coach of Real Madrid one year
later but returned to Old Trafford shortly after he was sacked by the
Spanish giants in May 2004.

Boardman as denied he would have thought about being Forge's No2 ,even

Steady Go'
In October
of 1978, recordings for a second Generation
X album
produced by gentleman & dinosaur rocker about town Ian Hunter of Mott
the Hoople followed, the resulting "Valley Of The Dolls" hitting
the streets in 1979. Guitarist Bob Derwood eventually quit the lineup
after completing a Japanese tour
and the recordings for a third album in 1979.(The
final Derwood lineup LP actually doesn't resurface for almost 20 years
until 1998, and was finally released on an indie against Idol's wishes as
"Sweet Revenge").
After a troubling 2 year period of uncertainty due to legal &
financial battles with manager Stewart Joseph, Billy Idol and Tony James
re-recruited & re-christened for their re-dubbed Gen X
project. Friends, foes, pros and fellow fools then
convened and attempted to get another record out. Outside the core
Idol/James duo, studio collaborators like ex-Sex Pistols guitarist Steve
Jones, ex-The Clash drummer Terry Chimes, Chelsea guitarist James
Stephenson, Steve New of Rich Kids, Danny Kustow of Tom Robinson Band, as
well as John McGeogh of Siouxsie & the Banshees.
With renewed spirit and producer Keith Forsey at the helm, Gen X
would go on to release one more LP "Kiss Me
Deadly" in 1981. After neither the album or the singles Dancing With
Myself & Kiss Me Deadly failed to take the charts, the band broke up.
Idol joined up with NYC based Kiss manager Bill Aucion, re-releasing
"Dancing with Myself" and the rest , as they say, is history.
A one off Generation
X reunion
occured in 1993
at London's Astoria.
What if
2008 a 30th anniversary reunion without Idol (still solo)+James (Silly con
Carton) but with The other two + Craig Boardman (William Board)
