Watch out Trump, you’re up against a knight now.     The UK version of The Apprentice stars Sir Alan Sugar as… well, The Boss… the one who fires people.  Though in its fifth series outside the U.S., BBCAmerica is starting a run of the first series starting May 5th.     It’s much the same game, but with outrageous British accents, and to some degree or other a bit more decorum.  The contestants are similarly Type-A, but there’s rather less drama just for the sake of drama...Read Full Story

Well he has the experience after his stint at Spurs I guess and we are all aware of his ability to shake it up successfully, so will the FA come knocking now that Lord Triesman has resigned? They haven't as yet but with the possibility of Alan Sugar taking over our pitch for the 2018 World Cup, it isn't such a bad idea really. Even though he may have angered certain folks during his tenure at Spurs...Teddy Sheringham, he is someone worth considering.Read Full Story
