Hunt fails to impress Hickey

The minister responsible for culture, media and – yes – sport, Jeremy Hunt , has failed to impress the Daily Express. The newspaper's diary column, Hickey, jides Hunt for his, er, less-than-incisive response when asked about the future England football coach on Thursday. "Wherever the manager comes from I think we want the best man for the job," said Hunt, bottom firmly on fence. Hickey complains: "As opposed to what – the second best? The candidate who's no more than fair-to-middling? That's the sort of lack of insight we more commonly associate with Match of the Day's Alan 'he'll be dissapointed with that' Shearer." Ohhh, two in one. Go Hicky; but beware, Harry.
