WHAT’S HOT WHAT’S NOT

HOT

VINCENT KOMPANY

DANIEL LEVY and Gordon Taylor have had their stab at leadership this week and the search for ethical wisdom in their approaches is ongoing. Then you have Vincent Kompany, who is said to have offered to make up the financial shortfall if Anderlecht players do not agree to pay cuts. Different kind of guy.

JAMES CAMPBELL

HE holds the Scottish record for throwing a javelin and this week he raised £26,000 for the NHS by running the 26.2miles of a marathon in his back garden. Some of us haven’t even got the mower out. ALL ENGLAND CLUB

EVEN by the standards of an organisation that prides itself on planning to the tiniest detail, you have to be amazed by the diligence of the unnamed soul who swayed the room into taking out pandemic insurance for Wimbledon.

NOT BILLY JOE SAUNDERS

IS HE the most obnoxious man in sport? He’s certainly campaigning hard for that crown. His apologists — and my God, boxing is full of them — say it’s just his kind of banter. But it boils down to this: there are those who joke about the best ways to punch women and those who don’t.

JACK GREALISH

HE’S very sorry and we’re sure he is. Or maybe we’re not. Because he also told us all to stay indoors and then he got in his car a few hours later to go to a party. The only part of this guy in lockdown is his brain. DANA WHITE

THE Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) boss says his show scheduled for April 18 must go on. That being a show which has lost its venue because of coronavirus and its main name in Khabib Nurmagomedov for the same reason. White says it will go ahead because he is ‘absolutely f****** relentless’. Relentless is one word for it.
