I'm not sure what all the angst is about - to be perfectly honest.
What we have been doing is watching a mismanaged and haphazardly constructed collection of footballers, coalesce into something resembling a good standard premiership football team.
- under the leadership of (yet another) manager, who has taken over from an (uneducated and completely) inexperienced premiership manager, employed as a temporary stand-in until the incumbent arrived.
The naivete's predecessor (the Golden child) took over from, arguably, the closest manager we have had to (adhering to) the ethos of Bill Nick, who was sacked for being too big for his boots, by having the entire British press corps declare him the best "next" England manager.
The Golden child managed to transform one of the most exciting and entertaining football teams in Britain - into a form of sporting narcolepsy - instantly transforming the resurrected "spirit of 61" into a footballing variation of "The Walking Dead."
The incumbent has somehow managed to take the aforementioned rag-tag army to the vinegar strokes of nirvana (CL qualification) and has now had the effrontery to not consummate the promise, despite (in footballing terms -) being hung like a hamster.
So now – to take a medical view of things - we have the dispiriting and, to be perfectly honest, fucking embarrassing shit storm of an autopsy - where multiple personalities with no relevant medical qualifications, attempt to deduce the reason for death, without ever considering that the child hasn't actually died yet.
The self-appointed coroner had been predicting death for a while, and whilst protesting that he wasn't blaming the incumbent child minder, has now come out and declared "him" as the murderer, without seeking to concern himself with the lack of a (totally) dead body.
Several other self-qualified practitioners have decided to work their way through a variety of previous suspects, and we now have a major medical dilemma.
A massive argument over the diagnosis of death, of a still live body, by unqualified physicians, who have not only attempted to declare the reason for death - but also the culprit...............the Coroner taking the simplest, easiest and least intelligent path of resistance - by declaring the current baby sitter as the murderer of the still live corpse of baby “Spurs.”
It seems such a shame to ignore the fact that the child was sick when he was given the job, and yet despite the limitations, got the child to sing and dance before it fell back into the semi comatose state it was in before he was employed.
Nobody has missed that the child is ill, and doesn't sing as well, or dance as divinely, but we all seem to be missing that we all want the child to get better, stronger and go on to better things, and that fundamentally we all have the same set of desires for the childs future.
And that we should recognise the skill that the current baby sitter has ably demonstrated, with nothing but a sickly child to work with.
Personally, I'd like to reserve judgement on his terms of employment, until he has shown what he can teach a fit and healthy child to do.
