Jose Mourinho Jose Mourinho is going to be bad news for Manchester United. Oh, I'm sure he'll win matches. He's widely regarded as one of the best managers in the world, speaks five languages, and knows his onions. But in every other respect he's going to make the most irritating football club on the planet even worse. Because Jose is bad for football, full stop. 1. Image rights This is a man who in 2013 sold his autograph. Not an example of his signature, but his actual autograph. The thing he squiggles on cheques, in birthday cards, on his passport. For 10 years. Along with his face. To Roman Abramovich. Lots of footballers do the same in deals about their image rights, but what good has the sale of image rights done for the game?

President Muhammadu Buhari   President Muhammadu Buhari during a brief chat with some journalists have revealed vital information on some burning national issues. It is one year already since he became president and has been faced with many challenges like the killer herdsmen, Niger Delta Avengers and Biafra agitators.    Buhari said:  "To speak in the order the question was asked, on the herdsmen, note that Gaddafi ruled Libya for 43 years. During his 43 years, Libya was a small country in terms of population, but very big in terms of resources. They have oil reserves, light crude like Nigeria’s crude. But he was quite generous to some of the countries in the Sahel. He took their young men and trained them. But unfortunately, he didn’t train them to become electricians or plumbers, bricklayers or mechanics. They were trained to shoot and kill.   "When that administration was removed, of course, those who removed it knew that he stabilised his co...
