Crossword behind Sean Dyche sacking

Post by Paul Waine » Sat Jul 02, 2022 9:11 am

A little story reported by Patrick Kidd, The Tailender column in the Times.

Chris Lancaster, puzzles editor in the Telegraph, in the General Knowledge crossword had the clue "Sean ....... English manager of Burnley FC (5)." The same day in April Sean Dyche was sacked.

Lancaster did the same two weeks ago, the crossword asked to name the club that Wayne Rooney manages. Later the same day Rooney announced his resignation from Derby.

Did you mean 'insight' or were you making a cunning wordplay in line with the thread?
