Boum Not Bust

Feb 3 2008 By Kevin Mcallion

FORMER Rangers star Jean-Alain Boumsong has blasted back at the snipers who left him a broken man at Newcastle and Juventus.

The Frenchman has come under fire since leaving Ibrox for St James' Park three years ago but hopes a move back home to Lyon from Juve will rescue his career.

Boumsong said: "I regret how relentless the critics have been. It can destroy you.

"During this time you can't ask yourself too many questions otherwise you are on a spiral to self-destruction."

I'm sure a wee look at the bank balance was enough to cheer him up.
