Why RBS should take over Liverpool ASAP and Big Sam should never take over England

Bankers cannot be the brightest. They are loathed, mistrusted, yet still avoid easy popularity.

RBS – the bank we bailed out – should take control of Liverpool, asap.

By running the cowboys out of town, they will begin to repay their debt to society.

We won’t forget their excesses. But we will have a reason to forgive.

*******

Sam Allardyce suggests that we are all in Arsene Wenger’s pocket.

When people talk of “Big” Sam, they can’t be referring to his towering intellect.

He produces functional teams who operate in a vacuum of indifference.

He confuses loyalty with sycophancy when it comes to Fergie, his great chum.

To think some are seriously suggesting he should be England’s next manager.

We are not, and never will be, that ­desperate.
