Mocking The People's Zidane Story

Zizou
Now, The People is not a paper prone to making snap judgements and mountains out of confirmed molehills. They're an understated journal, reporting simply fact and nothing but.

That's why Mediawatch was so excited when we opened our copy on Sunday to read the following big story:

'World Cup legend Zinedine Zidane is the sensational name in the frame to take over as boss of QPR.

'Rangers owner Flavio Briatore has promised a major announcement before today's final match of the season at home to West Brom - and informed whispers insist he'll name Zidane as Loftus Road boss.'

By Christ - what a scoop! Mediawatch settled in on Sunday to await the big announcement with a baguette and a glass for champagne in tribute to the great man.

The excitement grew as Flavio Briatore strode out in all his Italian splendor to reveal....the new QPR club logo.

We would just like to congratulate the 'informed' whisperer on convincing scribe Mark Dunne that he had a world exclusive on that one." Football 365
