The Coronation, Already

Let’s just get this over in one go, shall we?

The most boring possible selection for England manager is now the new England manager.

Here’s how it’s playing out in the media.

1) ‘We always wanted him most of all,’ say the liars in the FA, presumably with straight faces.

2) It’s the media’s fault.

3) The requisite reassuring bio, and some pictures to go with it

4) Boro — ON THE VERGE OF THE UEFA CUP FINAL, IF ANYONE REMEMBERS — need a new gaffer: Nice timing, Steve, mate!
