Published Date:

Newcastle United have announced that Tony Jimenez has left the club.
The 43-year-old was appointed vice-president (player recruitment) in January as part of owner Mike Ashley's new management structure.
But, his role was criticised by Toon fans after manager Kevin Keegan left the club in September, blaming a lack of control over transfers.
Ashley has since decided to sell the club and a Newcastle statement said Jimenez would "pursue other interests".
It continued: "Newcastle United thanks Tony for all of his hard work and efforts and wishes him every success in the future."
Jimenez built a network of contacts in football through his property development empire and then in his role as an agent.
Ashley brought him on board at Newcastle at the same time as appointing Dennis Wise executive director (football).
