I HAD a rather spiffing idea while thinking over the various issues that are on-going at the moment.

Why not reconcile two toxic situations in one fell swoop: the manager’s job at Sunderland and the Brexit negotiations.

Theresa May in her role as Fairy Godmother could sort out Sunderland’s problems admirably as her qualifications are unparalleled. A strong and stable approach should do the trick.

Chris Coleman in his job as Wales manager has dealt with any number of awkward Europeans so that should present no problems. Job done!
