Rusty Bullethole today ruled himself out of the running for the England Managers job citing the fact that he already has a job and he needs to complete his current project.

Along with anyone else who doesn’t stand a chance in the running; Glenn Hoddle, Alan Pardew, Martin O’Neil, Graham Norton, Janice the tea lady, Tracey Beaker, Wile E. Coyote and Dennis Wise (I know the last three are fictional characters – Ed) Rusty has also conceded the fact that there is clearly only one person now in the running to take the vacancy. Rusty wasn’t available for interview as he was doing his civic duty by once again helping the police with their inquiries.

Harry Redknapp (pictured below) has emerged as prime candidate after Fabio Capello became the latest Italian to abandon a sinking ship in the self assigned Terrygate affair.

Harry Redknapp - has lion like qualities

So is the appointment the right one? Only the media can determine the outcome as their endless pursuit of HR to become England manager finally nears its conclusion. Journalists will be waxing lyrical about HR right up until he loses his first couple of matches and then it’ll be out with the Fickleknives ready to chop his mane and stab him straight in the wallet. Ask any Portsmouth fan.
