Portsmouth signs goalkeeping coach to new contract

Soccer Betting Lines

11/20/2008 - Portsmouth, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Portsmouth has successfully headed off reported interest from Spurs in David Coles after agreeing a new contract with their goalkeeping coach.

Coles, 44, had been strongly linked with a move to White Hart Lane where he would join up with former Pompey boss Harry Redknapp.

But the former Southampton coach has now put pen to paper on a fresh three-year contract at Fratton Park to remain part of new manager Tony Adams' backroom staff.

Coles is credited with helping Pompey number one David James reclaim his England place under head coach Fabio Capello.

"Everything that was written in the papers about David leaving was completely wrong," executive chairman Peter Storrie told the club's official website.

"He has always been completely happy here and we are delighted to extend his contract.

"He's one of the best goalkeeping coaches in the country, so naturally we wanted to keep him."

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
