Well that has put a smile on my face. I hope he appoints Shearer as his assistant, although he’s one of the few people in the world who might be able to cope with a ‘king over the water’. Have to say, with respect to Shearer, that the whole saga is a bit like one of those soap operas where you can see that two people fancy each other rotten but just never get it together. You want to shout ‘just shag each other and get it over with!’ Sorry if that’s a bit coarse…
