AND THE AWARD for the most over the top announcement of a 35-day emergency loan deal goes to… Coventry City.
They’ve picked up Joe Cole — remember him? — for the next couple of weeks and it seems like they can’t believe their luck.
“Welcome to #CCFC Joe Cole,” the club tweeted this evening.
“Yes actual Joe Cole. Seriously, Joe Cole. The real Joe Cole.”
Which begs the question: have they seen Joe Cole play lately?
Although maybe we’re just presuming that the tweet is excitable. Maybe it’s actually an apology.
