Ollie’s tactical prowess is also of the “smack to the collarbone with the edge of a ruler” school of subtlety, best highlighted by his admiration of Gary Penrice’s “genius” at making Jason Roberts the player he is today, although the alleged gift consisted of little more than the former repeatedly calling the latter a “fucking tosser”. And the decision to sign Paul Furlong at QPR appears to have been influenced by the order in which Mrs Holloway dealt a deck of tarot cards. Should Ollie ever be installed as England coach, we can look forward to players being picked on the strength of their cribbage skills or their ability to tolerate being called a “CU Next Tuesday” (one of the many irritating jocularisms that pop up throughout the book).
