I reckon Claudio Ranieri might be the best tip for this job, despite not being mention in the article! He said he wanted to come back to English Footie! and after being sacked by Valencia, I guess the door is open for him! thoughts?

Kevin Keegan's three-and-a-half year reign at Manchester City has come to an end and the Eastlands club has put Stuart Pearce in charge of first-team affairs until the end of the season. Keegan has left City by "mutual agreement", despite still having almost a year-and-a-half to run on his contract which he had indicated last year would be his last in English football management. Following the 54-year-old former England, Newcastle United and Fulham boss's departure, the men from the City of Manchester Stadium said: "Manchester City announces that by mutual agreement our manager Kevin Keegan will leave the club with immediate effect. We all believe this is in the best interests of the club. "Kevin's professionalism, infectious enthusiasm and drive for success have benefited all areas of the club. The board and staff of the football club would like to thank Kevin for his valued contribution to all aspects of our organisation and wish him and his family all the very best for the future... "Kevin has taken the club from the uncertainty created following our relegation to Division One, winning the First Division title with tremendous style, through to the longest spell the club has spent in the Premiership. He has brought stability to a club that was very much in need of solidity and consolidation." The names of the likes of Celtic boss Martin O'Neill, Bolton Wanderers manager Sam Allardyce, Crystal Palace's Iain Dowie and former Southampton and Coventry City chief Gordon Strachan are all being bandied around as possible long-term successors to Keegan. Keegan succeeded Joe Royle in the City hotseat in May 2001 and immediately guided the club back to the Premiership in his first season in charge. City finished ninth on their return to the top-flight and qualified to play in the Uefa Cup the following season by virtue of the Intertoto Cup. However, they could only finish 16th in the table last season and Keegan's refusal to consider extending his stay at the City of Manchester Stadium beyond 2006 made his position at the club increasingly untenable. City's slim hopes of challenging for a Uefa Cup spot appeared to come to an end on Monday night when they suffered their 11th league defeat of the campaign at home to Bolton. Former England defender Pearce, who has been working as part of Keegan's backroom staff at Eastlands, has been placed in charge of first-team affairs until the end of the season. And his first task will be to lift City in time for their trip to Tottenham Hotspur next weekend.

Hari - I have met Penji a number of times and its NO its NOT a pathetic piece of metal! You can question her yourself in the case of knowing how to use and look after her kirpan - i suspect that she does! - her email address is at the bottom of the article. Penji is one of the people at the forefront of putting continuous pressure on the European Union and French government in the case of the ban on religious articles in France. As part of United Sikhs, she is leading the way to take to the government to court and she played a massive role in setting up the Ghania project in response to the Tsunami. Penji also helps many sikh societies, not only in London and Europe, but across the world - New York, Malaysia, India to name just a few. I hope that information provides a useful background to make a more constructive view point.

ok after learning how to use the tabs... here's the poster!

Tuhi if possible can u let us now when they have them in stock?

cheers Tuhi

nice!.. did u order it off the net?

it's made by Victorinox:

havent the makers of the swiss knife also made a kirpan??? would that be allowed?? neone got a pic?

yes it was

Here's the article: Press Release 07 March 2005 Belgian Police: Yes for Swiss Knife No For Sikh Kirpan on Eurostar London—A Sikh woman who had her Kirpan confiscated by Belgian police as she was checking in to travel on the Eurostar train to London today was told that her article of faith was a prohibited weapon whereas a passenger was allowed to carry a Swiss knife. "In Brussels your Kirpan is a prohibited weapon even if in London the law allows you to wear it in public places. We allow Eurostar passengers to carry a Swiss knife because it is made differently," said Inspector Vamspauweh who detained Mejindarpal Kaur, who was travelling from Brussels after an interfaith seminar organised by the Church of Scientology International. "I was taken aback because I had travelled on Eurostar from London to Brussels this weekend and on several occasions to Paris when I was allowed to wear my Kirpan," said Mejindarpal Kaur. "I explained to the Inspector that I have never and would never use my Kirpan to harm someone and hence it is not an offensive weapon," she added. A Kirpan is a scimitar, which is one of the five articles of faith that practicing Sikhs wear at all times as a commitment of their faith. "If and when the European Constitution is adopted by the European Union will people be allowed to practise their faith uniformly throughout Europe?" asks Mejindarpal Kaur, director of UNITED SIKHS, a global human development organisation which has been in the forefront of a campaign against the ban on articles of faith in schools in France. London Member of European Parliament Baroness Sarah Ludford said this in response to the Kirpan incident today: "The potential conflict with essential security controls of Sikhs wearing a Kirpan is an example of the need for European-level dialogue on the various religious and cultural needs for European citizens. It is the case that the European Convention on Human Rights clause on respect for freedom of religion to which Belgium and other EU states are subject (and the similar provision in the European Constitution's Charter for Fundamental Rights) allows derogation in the interests of public safety. But there needs to be a serious discussion about whether there are measures which could reconcile Sikh religious convictions on wearing the kirpan with a general security ban on carrying weapons." A fortnight ago, Baroness Sarah Ludford of the Liberal Democrat party jointly tabled a cross-party declaration at the European Parliament on the Religious Rights and Freedoms in France and throughout the European Union. See: http://www.europarl.eu.int/Declaration/document/ 2005/P6_DCL(2005)0005/P6_DCL(2005)0005_EN.doc The incident in Brussels Midi Station started when the metal detector bleeped and Mejindarpal Kaur pointed to her Kirpan and was asked to hand it over. She was then marched down to the police area with no explanation as to what was happening. Mejindarpal Kaur asked an officer what was going on and he replied, "What do you think is going on? Is this a circus? You are walking around with a knife." I protested that it was not a knife and that I wish to explain. The investigating inspector recorded the following statement from Mejindarpal Kaur: "Today during the luggage-check at the departure of the Eurostar train to London I was found in possession of a Kirpan. I was wearing it around my waist. This is an article of faith that I wear on me all the time. I understand that the world is gripped in fear so I have allowed the officer to take it off me. In the UK, where I live, the law allows me to wear it in public places. When I started my journey (on Eurostar) from London this time and many times before to Paris I have never been prevented from wearing my Kirpan during my journey. I therefore did not remove it and pack it in my main luggage like I do when I take an airline flight. I would like to explain to the authorities why I would like this Kirpan returned to me and why this incident should not create a bad record for me. It is ironic that I was visiting Belgium for an interfaith seminar when I explained to my colleagues from the Church of scientology what my Kirpan means and they were in admiration of my Faith. I hope one day the Belgian Parliament like the UK Parliament would allow Sikhs to wear their Kirpan in public places as an article of their faith. I have explained to the officer who takes this statement why I wear a Kirpan: that it is a commitment of my faith in the truth. The officer explained to me that according to Belgian law it was considered a forbidden weapon and that it was being confiscated." After the Inspector made arrangements for Mejindarpal Kaur to take the next train back to London, they parted on a friendly note. The Inspector commented: "Are you saying that the Belgian parliament should allow you to wear the Kirpan but not allow others to carry knives". "I smiled at him and I was pleased that he was no longer calling my Kirpan a knife. However, I knew that my work was cut out and that we had to work hard to have a healthy debate in the European parliament on the Right to Difference, which should support the righ to practice one's religion," said Mejindarpal Kaur referring to UNITED SIKHS' support for the MEPs declaration on the European declaration on Religious Rights and Freedoms.
