What's the Beef?
Fat Chance
Oh Dear
Coventry City name Aidy Boothroyd of Colchester United as new manager
Coventry City have confirmed Aidy Boothroyd as their new manager, with the 39-year-old signing a three-year contract at the Ricoh Arena.
Colchester United gave Boothroyd permission to speak to the Sky Blues earlier this week and duly agreed compensation with the Championship club before negotiations had been completed between the manager and his prospective new employers.
But that deal has now been finalised and the former Watford manager has officially succeeded Chris Coleman, who was sacked shortly after City finished 19th, having endured a sorry late slump for the second campaign running.
Ray Ranson, the former Manchester City defender who is Coventry chairman, hopes Boothroyd can follow his achievements at Vicarage Road and be the man to take Coventry back to the Premier League, from where they were relegated in 2001.

Unemployment Eased by Porn
Webcam porn work advertised at Warwickshire Jobcentres
TEENAGE girls in Warwickshire are being offered the chance to become porn stars – by a firm advertising in
official Jobcentres.
A website is using branches of JobCentre Plus in Warwickshire, Birmingham and Solihull to hunt for “barely legal girls” who are prepared to take their clothes off and talk about sex with total strangers.
The smutty advert – described as a “job with a difference” – has stunned some unemployed visitors to Jobcentre Plus.
A 19-year-old from Nuneaton, who asked not to be named, said: “My job in a call centre is a fixed-term contract that’s coming to an end so I’m desperate for work. But I’m not so desperate that I’m prepared to perform disgusting acts on an internet sex line.”
Another 23-year-old from Birmingham said: “Is it really the role of Jobcentre Plus to be advertising for people willing to be naked for the purposes of adult entertainment?”
The statement on the firm’s website, www.faceclick.co.uk, says: “This is simple really, all we ask is that you will be comfortable with and willing to discuss a numinous amount of subjects with our customers from the seemingly mundane to the more sexual and explicit nature.
“You need to be 18 and provide us with proof of ID and live in the UK.”
They are also looking for men and couples.
Workers are expected to spend 20 hours a week online – potentially earning around £400 a week
The Department for Work and Pensions defended the advert, insisting it had no right to withdraw it. A West Midlands DWP spokeswoman said: “If a vacancy is legal then Jobcentre Plus has to advertise it.
"However, adult entertainment jobs are clearly marked that applicants must be aged 18 or over. Our staff do not actively promote these vacancies to our customers, it would be up to them to express an interest in applying and to ask for further information.”
Seven years ago, Jobcentre Plus lost a legal battle when it tried to refuse advertising jobs in the adult entertainment industry.
No comment was available from the company.
With redundancy looming over the horizon, i'm seriously considering this...I am on a diet you know.
