Tough On The Toon

Oct 12 2008 Gordon Waddell

ANOTHER week in the Toon, another bombshell. First Tony Jiminez, their vice president of player recruitment - or scout, as non-idiots would call it - goes.

Then Mark Viduka limps back Down Under, possibly never to be seen again.

He and Joey Barton were paraded together and hailed as the future. Now, £125,000 a week between them, and 39 starts. No wonder they're knackered.
