In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
I think he views this prospective apology as a way to continue his media work. To be honest though, there's no way he should have been employed by the BBC, Sky et al post-Hillsborough in the first place. Mackenzie's the epitome of all that's wrong with newspaper culture in the UK.
Kelvin Mackenzie said:
He really does love the sound of his own voice.
Its a pity he is alive to use it while the 96 people he disgraced are not.
JFT 96.

Christ almighty, I've never seen that quote before. Some fans drinking caused the disaster? feck off.
Maybe a few lads can get together to chant outside his house - any suggestions as to what could be chanted?Poor Kelvin is the real victim in all of this.
I'd end the sentence there, Steve.
A despicable shit. The man is absolutely shameless. Causing so much grief and anguish over nothing but his own bleeding carreer.

Looks like things are about heat up.
The police watchdog and director of public prosecutions are to launch investigations into possible crimes committed in the wake of the Hillsborough disaster, it has been announced.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said a large number of serving and former officers would be investigated over what happened on the day of the tragedy in 1989, and during the alleged cover-up afterwards.
The IPCC said both serving and former officers would be investigated.
The probes will consider if individuals or corporate bodies should be charged.

The FA & Sheffield Wednesday Football Club coming closer to the furnace now after yesterday's debate in Parliament.
Andy Burnham, Rosie Cooper, plus a few other MP's, put the spotlight on both parties.
Burnham - "The HIP presents football with failings of the first order - Hillsborough was a ground operating outside of the law. Neither SWFC or the FA have answered questions as to why this was allowed to happen"
The near tragedy at the same end 8 years earlier between Spurs & Wolves was also mentioned, & questions why nothing was done then to prevent the 1989 disaster.
Burnham - "Hillsborough is a story of abuse of power & class - We need to make this a moment of change"
Maria Eagle seems to have pretty much destroyed 'Sir' Norman Bettison:

Bettison resigns
http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-20067716
Sir Norman Bettison has resigned as chief constable of West Yorkshire Police, saying an inquiry into his role after the Hillsborough tragedy was "a distraction" to the force.
cnut. You're a distraction to the human race.

Let's not forget that 1444 police officers' names have been passed onto the IPCC as well.
Devastatingly, the mother of Kevin Williams (who could and should have been saved at Hillsborough) - Anne Williams, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. A petition has been set up in order to try and bring forward the date on which the inquest into her son's death will be held, so that she can hopefully see justice before she passes:

Yeah scouse mates are posting this on Facebook. Very sad state of affairs.
I signed the petition. Hopefully Anne Williams is around for long enough to see the efforts of herself and the rest of the campaigners come to fruition. That's the least they deserve.
Was at a lecture last night by Phil Scraton of the Hillsborough Independent Panel, fascinating insight. Will post a bit more on it later on.
Bumping this up. Over 2500 people browsing the caf now, don't forget to sign the petition if you haven't already.
Indeed, it only takes minutes people!
I'm looking forward to it, PJ.
And I'll urge everyone to read Hillsborough: The Truth, if you haven't already.
Bump to remind everyone to sign the petition.

34,000 now. Please take a few minutes to sign up, guys. Justice must be done.

Guys, can I urge everyone who hasnt signed the petition to please do so. Anne Williams is dying in a Southport hospice and hasnt got long left. If we make a concerted effort, we can give this brave woman her dying wish- an inquest into her son's death.
The caf is an amazing place full of generous people and I know we can help make this happen. Thank you

100,000 signatures now been reached. Time is of the essence now. The initial verdict of accidental death needs to overturned to one of unlawful killing. This is what Anne Williams has been campaigning for over the past 23 years. Her son Kevin, & a lot of others, could have been saved that day. A lot of people have a case to answer as to why they weren't.
Thanks once again for all your help.

That is great for the families and friends of those who lost their lives on that tragic day.
Decent song too.
