WICKED WHISTLE

Which Premier League flop, packing up after being unceremoniously sold in the transfer window, summed up his feelings when he glumly returned the keys to his luxury apartment and told the estate agent: “I f***ing hate my manager”?

The one-horse race to be England’s next manager didn’t stop Radio Five Live from holding a phone-in on the subject.

Best opinion? The caller who opened with: "My first choice would be Brian Clough, but he's dead.”
