Jose Mourinho gave a clear indication that the vacant manager's position at Newcastle United would not appeal to him, saying that taking charge of a club where the objective is to stay in the top half of the table not in his nature. The Magpies are searching for a new manager following the failure to agree a deal with Rafael Benitez, whose three-year spell at the club is set to end when his contract expires on Sunday. Mourinho has been without a job in football since he left Manchester United in December 2018 and was linked with the vacancy at St. James' Park. But in an interview with The Coaches' Voice he gave a clear description of the kind of job he does not want to take on. "The only thing I know is what I don't want," said Mourinho. "What I don't want is crystal clear. I am quite pathalogical in the sense that I have to play to win. Then, if I win or if I don't win, that's my problem and the players and the club and the str

Rumours of ‘fake Melania’ ,  an extended and largely unexplained hospital stay,  repeated slip ups caught on tape; a new book is claiming they are all symptoms of a sham marriage.

Ryan Lizza wrote for  The Washington Post  that the book contains “factual errors that mar the author’s credibility”. The President hasn’t responded to the new book, but described Wolff’s first book in a tweet as, “the Fake Book of a mentally deranged auth
