REAL BIT OF LUCK, JOSE

IF Jose Mourinho walks straight into Real Madrid, following his sacking by Manchester United, then he’s the Lucky One – not the Special One.

And if the job is available to him, he should be snapping their hand off and not taking a year out to refresh himself, as I said he should do.

Talk about damaged goods getting a quick fix.

Real won’t care about his antics if he can get them back to where they are supposed to be in the short term, even if some of the players won’t be pleased to see him back.

But the fact that a club as big as Real are in such dire straits around this time of the year is to the Portuguese’s incredible fortune.

THE

FA need to show some teeth over Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa’s admission that he sent a club employee to spy on a Derby training session. The authorities have to deal with the case firmly – and I don’t mean in the shape of a letter saying, ‘Don’t do it again’. They have to act now to ensure

that it never happens again.
