Steve McClaren
Here I was, sitting on the bench as I watched my team train for the upcoming Championship match when one of my mates decided to text me out of the blue.
'Check this out! Roy Hodgson taking a dump in the bushes! Lol.' I must admit - I did laugh at first but then I realised the full extent of that text. It was supposed to make me angry just because Roy was managing the team I was supposed to manage. In true form, I did manage them and even if it was unsuccessful, I was still their manager so you can count me for something. I paused for a moment before getting up from the bench and making my way home. I didn't need to tell anybody I was leaving, I just left I guess. I got in the car and put on talkRadio who were talking about Roy and his squad for next year at the World Cup. I groaned and proceeded to cut their talk out and put a CD on that I found near the dashboard. Singing along, I arrived home. Kathryn was sitting on the stairs when Josh came in.
"Seen the news?" he asked and I shook my head. What on earth would make me read or see the news other than sport? I went in the living room and checked the newspaper.
Roy's being stalked an newspaper headline read. Looking firmly at it, I read the article and saw that someone was stalking the poor bloke. It wasn't until Dean - my mate had text me the same piece of news that I became suspicious.
'I'm the stalker' he text me and immediately I felt disgusted. Sure, Roy was not my favourite person but I had respect for the man. I stopped in my tracks and ran upstairs and gave Dean a call.
"For f**k sake! Dean you idiot, why the hell are you doing this? Stop it!" I yelled and he just chuckled.
"Doing ya a favour. You want your old job back right? This will easily get you the job. Wait and see." he cut the call and I just stood back, once again disgusted. Kathryn was right beside the door and heard everything.
'Are Steve's boys back on?' Dean text. I once again paused and just watched Kathryn.
Could I really do this?
