    That's a really bad quote for the Telegraph to choose, and is actually the complete opposite of RM's ethos.

    Burnley aren't messing about. 9 goals in their first two games.

    Must be bad to be sacked by them!

    With all the Goztepe talk in other places I decided to look them up and see what I can find out about Turkish football. I found this, which sounds crazy. The reporting is sensationalist but in fairness the Fenerbahce President went on the pitch and was then pushed by someone with "a previous charge of attempted murder related to a separate football incident".

    Promoted way above his abilities and presumably thought he was untouchable. But to get done for something related to inappropriate behaviour in 2024 takes a lot of foolishness.

    It obviously wasn't for being a boring twat, not while Murphy and Shearer are still employed.

    Yeah I thought that about the agent too. Must be fairly bad for them to drop him instantly too.

    I know his agents too (he was with MC Saatchi - I've done a fair bit of work with them recently). Interesting. You're right, it would need to be something pretty bad to be dropped so quickly like that.

    Obafemi is now at Plymouth. Seems to be a rolling stone.

    Soon as I saw the Jenas stuff come out, I knew what it would be. Send enough dick pics to junior staff and you'll get yourself in **** eventually

    Isn’t that basically what Huw Edwards had to resign over?

    Jenas described it as sending texts between consenting adults. If they were consenting he wouldn’t have had complaints posted about him. Isn’t he a bit old for this…and if I was his wife, I’d call it being unfaithful.

    He said himself it was being unfaithful too, not sure there's any doubt about it. ****ing idiot no doubt though.

    What made me laugh is earlier on yesterday he was speaking about instructing his lawyers and letting them deal with it before later on making a public apology.

    Presumably his lawyers advice to him was something along the lines of "you're ****ed" <laugh>
