By Godwin Aideloje Arik Air shareholders are compelled by the need to clarify and correct false and misleading statements attributed to AMCON through its head of corporate communications, Mr. Jude Nwauzor. which was published in Daily Sun of 20 December, 2024, and some social media handles. We dare say that this is yet another salvo in the series of calculated attempts to cover up the truth about AMCON’s forceful takeover, mismanagement and destruction of Arik Air. However, since most of the issues recklessly misrepresented by Mr. Nwauzor are before the court, we, out of our respect for the law courts, shall only limit ourselves to restating the facts. It is unfortunate that AMCON, a public institution, under the pretext of replying an opinion expressed in a newspaper by an independent commentator, resorted to launching a malicious tirade against the shareholders of Arik Air and perhaps other government agencies, especially the EFCC. Instead of addressing the issues raised by the commentator. First, we must start by thanking AMCON for finally admitting that the takeover of Arik Air was as a result of a “directive” from the Buhari-led Federal Government. This “directive,” however, side-stepped the statutory procedure and due process that guide the takeover of companies in Nigeria. Thus, the forceful takeover of Arik was a political ambush followed by an after-thought of an economic justification of insolvency, which was badly portrayed as an “economic rescue act”. 1. On the issue of petition to EFFC: We were forced to file a petition to the EFCC through the chambers of Femi Falana & Co only after AMCON refused to obey any of the consequential orders of the Federal High Court’s judgment in suit number FHC/L/CS/1175/2021 of March 31 , 2023, and instead, resorted to disobeying and disparaging the court. It should also be stated that Arik shareholders were investigated by the EFCC at the instance of AMCON from 2021 until relieved from invitations on the unsubstantiated allegations by AMCON. This was during the tenure of Mr. Rasheed Bawa during Buhari’s administration. Mr. Bawa also authorized the investigation of the Arik shareholders’ petition, even in the face of reported intense pressure by former MD of AMCON, Mr. Ahmed Kuru, to scuttle investigations of the affairs of AMCON in Arik Air receivership. The investigation progressed even after the change of guards at the EFCC and its findings are finally seeing the light of day only because Mr. Bawa, former chairman, and the new EFCC chairman, Mr. Olu Olukayode, insisted that nobody was above the law. For the record, the same EFCC at the instance of AMCON arrested and detained Sir J.I.A. Arumemi-Ikhide on the 8 February, 2017, the eve of the takeover of Arik. Sir Arumemi-Ikhide was investigated by EFFC and released without indictment. Yet, he neither cast an aspersion against the EFCC nor castigate AMCON for the trauma he suffered from the AMCON-induced unjustified detention. It is unfortunate that AMCON is falsely alleging that Arik shareholders’ petition and the resultant prosecution by the EFCC was collusion to frame its former managing director, Mr. Ahmed Kuru; Mr. Kamilu Alaba Omokide (former Receiver Manager, Arik); Captain Roy Ilegbodu (CEO, Arik in Receivership); Super Bravo Limited, and Union Bank Plc. On our part, we respect the mandates of government agencies and wait for the courts to adjudicate without resorting to sub-judicial commentaries. Peradventure, the AMCON protagonists should be reminded that Mr. Femi Falana’s petition on our behalf is not the only one calling Mr. Ahmed Kuru’s regime at AMCON to account. Could other petitions through other lawyers to the EFCC on Keystone Bank in which Mr. Kuru and others have been charged to court also be a collusion and an attempt to embarrass AMCON and its officers? One would have thought that Mr. Gbenga Alade, the new MD of AMCON, would use the findings offered by the EFCC investigations of Mr. Kuru and others to make corrections, improvement, and allow the law to be the arbiter in disputes. It is most unfortunate that AMCON, a Federal Government agency entrusted with unprecedented special powers by our laws and offered a new lease of life with a new leadership, is playing the role of judge, jury, executioner and victim through all its dramas in the media. The descent to name-calling when the law or court judgments fail to suit AMCON’s false narratives is sad. We wish to remind AMCON that to execute the Arik receivership, AMCON used the same EFCC, police and the courts. The Alade-led AMCON should be courageous enough to own up to the fact that his predecessor misadvised the Federal Government, instead of recycling the false narrative that continue to project the country as a space not governed by values, law, order and due process. After all, no human is beyond error! In addition, he should be reminded that the case in court is between the Federal Republic of Nigeria (his employers) and former employees of AMCON and others, Mr. Alade’s utterances as reported in the media indicate he is not in agreement with the actions of his present employers, with respect to the former MD and others being charged to court. On FG’s intervention or AMCON‘s Forced Takeover: We hereby wish to restate the position in our response to the statement made in 2023 by Mr. Kuru that the Acting President at the time (Prof. Yemi Osinbajo) directed AMCON to take over Arik. We consider this claim as untenable that a learned man of law would direct AMCON to take over a private business when there are extant laws in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria governing receiverships and processes of putting companies into administration! Unless he was wrongly advised or misinformed by Mr. Kuru. It may be unknown to the public and therefore bears repeating that several companies just like Arik have been victims of Mr. Kuru’s novel “creation” of receiverships for companies allegedly of interest to him and his collaborators. President Bola Tinubu’s Angle: AMCON’s desperate attempt at invoking the name of former President Mohammadu Buhari into this matter is tantamount to disparaging the office of the President and dragging this exalted office into disrepute. We are confident that President Tinubu will not condone any act of impunity for the arbitrary take-over of a private business by a stroke of pen. Clearly this implies that AMCON’s justification of business take-over by executive fiat runs at cross purposes with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s private sector leadership agenda. This is aptly captured in his own words as follows: “There is no driver of the economy that is bigger than the private sector. If the private sector is not flourishing, there is no growth, no prosperity, no employment or development. No matter how flowery the speeches are, not even a mushroom will grow”. 4. AMCON’s Claims of Indebtedness by Arik: We wish to state that we will not discuss the alleged indebtedness of Arik Air on the pages of the newspapers, as this is one of the main issues before the courts. Unlike AMCON who disobeyed the courts and discuss all matters pending before the courts in the media and press conference. Suffice it to state the new MD of AMCON recently called on the courts to rescue it on its own terms whereas AMCON brazenly refused to obey ALL consequential orders of the judgement of the Federal High Court (without stay of execution) on the Arik Air receivership. 5. State of Arik Fleet by Unaccountable Receivership: Mr. Alade was invited and visited the Arik Air Hangars at the request of the shareholders on 28 August 2024 so he could see for himself first-hand the wanton destruction of 14 new generation aircraft and other Arik assets by AMCON and its agents. We are therefore shocked to read in the publication under reference, offer of superlative praises for the same agents and officers who superintended over the wanton decimation/cannibalisation of the airline’s fleet. 6. Other Issues: The matters of alleged loans, lease defaults, maintenance reserves , fake letters and KPMG audits have been uploaded to the media by AMCON in its traditional methods to set false narratives and promote conclusions not founded on truth and equity including inciting public disaffection for the promoters of Arik and tacitly overreaching the Courts. However, since these are key issues to be adjudicated by the courts, we have been advised by our lawyers to refrain from responding on the pages of newspapers. 7. Obstruction of Aircraft Sales etc: We are not aware of any plans to sell any aircraft by AMCON. But we state categorically that as shareholders of Arik, we exercised our constitutionally guaranteed rights for protection of our investments by seeking the court’s protection for the 3 units Boeing 737-NG aircraft that were fraudulent transferred to Super Bravo and for the reversal of Arik funds illegally used for the registration/processing of AOC for NG Eagle by AMCON. The courts ruled in our favour, and ordered the reversal the transfer and indicted the Receiver Manager for breach of fiduciary duties to Arik. The court also ordered AMCON to file audited accounts of its receivership from 2017 to date (December 2022) to the Corporate Affairs Commission which AMCON and its Receiver Managers have failed to do. 8. AMCON`s leadership for Arik: The claims of stabilisation of Arik Air by AMCON is an insult to the travelling public. The downturn and dwindled fortunes of the airline is visibly displayed for the world to see, both in the airline operations under receivership and at the Arik Hangar where 14 cannibalised and destroyed aircraft are on display. AMCON’s solely appointed Receiver Manager and CEO’s mismanagement is a testament to this fact. Capt Roy Ilegbodu, Kamilu Alaba Omokide and members of the Technical Advisory Board have used Arik to support their champagne lifestyles in retirement and enhanced their businesses/jobs while the airline is run aground. Arik under shareholders management operated an average of 120 flights daily with a route network traversing the whole of Nigeria, all west and central Africa’s major airports including Angola and Johannesburg. As well as London and New York with about 22 aircraft. But today, under AMCON, it only operates about 25 flights daily with 3 aircraft out of the 19 that AMCON inherited from the shareholders at take-over. Indeed, what a display of expertise by AMCON’s standard! That the AMCON’s “revered” aviation experts could not convert the much-sought-after Arik London Heathrow and JFK landing slots worth over USD70M to a quick cash when the receivership management discontinued flights to those destinations, speaks to his incompetencies. He lost those hard earned valuable slots to inexperience and selfishness!. If AMCON’s measure of expertise should be a bench mark in Nigeria, then the future in aviation is bleak for the country. It is surprising that rather than relieve the officers charged to Court by Federal Government from their duties pending the determination of the cases in Court, AMCON MD is protecting and keeping them in their duty post in disregard of government code of conduct. We recall that when allegations of impropriety was made against serving Minister in this administration, the President took appropriate actions. Mr Oluseye Opasanya SAN, Kamilu Alaba Omokide FCA and Captain Roy Ilegbodu inherited a well maintained fleet of 19 new generation aircraft with large inventory of over USD 200M worth of spare parts and spare engines. It should be noted that most of the aircraft have been fully paid for by the shareholders, but AMCON refused to meet the ongoing obligations for a few aircraft whose obligations will crystallise in 2025, when they took over in 2017. Yet they cannot manage the airline. Clearly the receivership manager NEVER had any positive plan for the airline. Its claim of intervention, rescue and promise to turn around the airline is a hoax and a woeful failure. It appears that AMCON is more fixated on covering the malfeasance it created in Arik by angrily attacking Arik shareholders. They should however remember other cases making headlines such as Keystone Bank that AMCON’s former executives must answer to. As stated earlier, we have answers to all the issues raised by AMCON in the refrenced publications. We have made them known in previous publications. However, since some of the matters are now before the court, we shall refrain from public commentaries as advised by our lawyers. We, the shareholders of Arik, are willing and ready for an open dialogue and discussions with AMCON in the presence of the relevant authorities such as Police, EFCC, the CBN, the Ministries of Finance, Justice, and Aviation & Aerospace. We come to equity with clean hands and ask that AMCON do the same. • Godwin Aideloje wrote from Lagos on behalf of Arik StakeholdersLatest News | 2025 to Be a Year of Transformation for Retail Industry; AI & Automation to Play a Crucial Role

Woman Who ‘Popped Out the Womb a Chiefs Fan’ Dances With Travis KelceBy Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton was admitted Monday to Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington after developing a fever. The 78-year-old was hospitalized in the “afternoon for testing and observation,” Angel Urena, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, said in a statement. “He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving,” Urena said. Clinton, a Democrat who served two terms as president from January 1993 until January 2001, addressed the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this summer, and campaigned ahead of November’s election for the unsuccessful White House bid of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. In the years since Clinton left the White House, he’s faced some health scares. In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery after experiencing prolonged chest pains and shortness of breath. Clinton returned to the hospital for surgery for a partially collapsed lung in 2005, and in 2010 he had a pair of stents implanted in a coronary artery. Clinton responded by embracing a largely vegan diet that saw him lose weight and report improved health. In 2021, the former president was hospitalized for six days in California while being treated for an infection that was unrelated to COVID-19, when the pandemic was still near its height. An aide to the former president said then that Clinton had a urological infection that spread to his bloodstream, but was on the mend and never went into septic shock, a potentially life-threatening condition. The aide said Clinton was in an intensive care section of the hospital that time, but wasn’t receiving ICU care. Be civil.

By Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss NEW YORK (Reuters) -The euro rallied on Thursday as French government bonds steadied a day after the collapse of France’s government, even as bitcoin soared to a record past $100,000, with investors cheering the nomination of a pro-cryptocurrency head to run the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The spread between French and German 10-year yields narrowed on Thursday to 76.9 basis points, the tightest gap since Nov. 22. That has helped support the euro. Despite Thursday’s gains, however, the euro was on track to post a loss this week, the fourth in the last five weeks. French President Emmanuel Macron met allies and parliament leaders on Thursday as he sought to swiftly appoint a new prime minister to replace Michel Barnier, who officially resigned a day after opposition lawmakers voted to oust his government. “The market is looking at the financial implications of the French government’s collapse. The takeaway seems to be that it’s not as impactful to the spending plans as initially thought, and that’s keeping the euro alive,” said Amo Sahota, executive director at FX consulting firm Klarity FX. “We saw a lot of similarities when Greece is going through a lot of political instability and that could be a major drag on the euro zone. We got two large economies within the euro zone with struggling governments: France and Germany and analysts are concerned about the euro and they have already lowered their projections as a result.” Germany was thrown into political disarray by the collapse of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition last month as well as disagreements over government spending. The euro was last up 0.6% at $1.0567, further moving away from the two-year low of $1.0332 hit at the end of November as traders braced for a drawn-out reckoning for France. In terms of technical factors, Shaun Osborne, chief FX strategist at Scotiabank in Toronto, said the positive short-term price action on Wednesday coupled with moderate gains through the low $1.05s on Thursday, have given “the euro a shot at extending a little higher to test key resistance and potential bull trigger at $1.0590.” Traders are also all but certain the European Central Bank will cut interest rates next week and are pricing in around 157 basis points of easing by the end of 2025. Meanwhile, bitcoin, the world’s best known cryptocurrency, has been on a tear since November on expectations that Donald Trump’s U.S. presidential election win will usher in a friendly regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies. It rose to an all-time high of $103,649 in Asian hours, boosted in part by President-elect Trump’s nomination of pro-crypto Paul Atkins to run the SEC. It was last up 1.3% at $99,147, taking its year-to-date gains to more than 130%. “With a better U.S. regulatory environment and next-generation stablecoins driving adoption in Europe, we believe bitcoin and the broader crypto market could continue to go from strength to strength,” wrote Arnoud Star Busmann, chief executive of Quantoz Payments, a Netherlands-based payments technology company. YEN ON THE RISE In Asia, the Japanese yen rose as high as 149.66 per dollar but was last up 0.4% at 150.01 as traders pondered whether the Bank of Japan will hike interest rates later this month. Analysts said comments from typically dovish policymaker Toyoaki Nakamura that he’s not opposed to rate hikes helped push the currency higher. Expectations had been growing that the BOJ will hike rates at its Dec. 18-19 meeting, bolstered by comments from Governor Kazuo Ueda, although media reports published on Wednesday suggested the BOJ may skip a rate hike this month. The South Korean won dipped slightly as the nation’s finance ministry said the government would activate 40 trillion won ($28.35 billion) worth of market stabilization funds after the chaos that followed President Yoon Suk Yeol’s martial law declaration on Tuesday, which he rescinded hours later. The won was last down 0.2% at 1,413 per U.S. dollar. The dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency against six rivals, fell 0.6% to 105.74. It extended losses after data showed initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose 9,000 to a seasonally adjusted 224,000 for the week ended Nov. 30. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast 215,000 claims for the latest week. The spotlight will be on Friday’s U.S. nonfarm payrolls report for November, which is expected to show 200,000 jobs added in the month, according to a Reuters survey, after only 12,000 jobs were created in October, the lowest number since December 2020. Bets on Fed rate cuts held broadly steady, however, partly influenced by Wednesday’s weaker-than-expected services sector data and the higher-than-expected jobless claims. Markets are pricing in about a 70% chance of a 25-bp rate cut later this month, and a 30% chance of a pause.

Assessing FG’s Strategies To Improve Crude Oil ProductionFormer Kentucky wide receiver Dane Key, one of the top offensive players in the transfer portal, announced on social media Tuesday that he will transfer to Nebraska. Key posted a photo of himself in a Nebraska uniform wearing the No. 6 he wore at Kentucky. The simple post contained the letters "GBR," short for "Go Big Red," with an emoji heart. Key led Kentucky this past season with 47 receptions for 715 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games as the Wildcats finished 4-8. In three seasons, the 6-foot-3, 210-pounder has 126 receptions for 1,870 yards and 14 TDs in 38 games (35 starts). Key has one season of eligibility remaining after he was a four-star recruit in the class of 2022. --Field Level Media
Social media start-up Bluesky is exploding as academics, journalist, and left-leaning politicians abandon Elon Musk ’s X in search of bluer skies. Now, the platform has surpassed Meta ’s Threads in user numbers, yet Threads still leads in app usage. According to data from Similarweb, app and website usage of Bluesky in the United States rose more than 500 percent following President-elect Donald Trump’s election win, raking in 3.5 million daily users. The platform still only has around 21.5 million users as of Nov. 22. “We’ve been growing by about a million users a day for several days,” Bluesky CEO Jay Graber told NPR on Monday. “It’s proving out the model that we thought would be the right approach to social [media]: Give people the tools to control their experience and they’ll have a better time.” ADVERTISEMENT The app, created by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey , debuted in 2019 as a desktop and app-based social network that operates similarly to X. Users can post text, videos and photos, reply to one another and share other users’ posts. The platform is now led by digital rights activist and software engineer Graber. Aside from the growing discontent among X users with Musk, Bluesky’s expansion has come partly from its “starter pack” feature that allows users to follow curated groups of accounts with the click of a button. This growth, however, has faltered due to repeated outages and glitches and concerns over its future success as a working business model. Still, prior to Nov. 5, Threads had five times more daily U.S. users than Bluesky. Now, the Meta run platform is only 1.5 times larger than its much smaller rival. Some have attributed the closing margin to Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg ’s decision to de-prioritize political content across its apps, including Facebook and Instagram. By contrast, Musk has curtailed content moderation on X since taking over the platform, leading to concerns about the spread of disinformation. The Tesla executive’s embrace of deregulation, his affiliation with Trump , and promotion of fringe theories prompted a first wave of user departures after the app was suspended in Brazil in September. The temporary ban coincided with Bluesky picking up 3 million new users that week. The X alternative added another 1.2 million users in the two days after Musk announced his app would allow blocked users to view posts by those who had blocked them. Since Trump’s election victory, however, several prominent businesses, celebrities, and journalists have publicly and officially left X, including Target, The Guardian , journalist Don Lemon , actor Bradley Whitford, and singer Barbra Streisand .Rookie Bucky Irving relishes opportunity to help Buccaneers any way he can against skidding Raiders
How to answer questions about your body this holiday season, according to a psychologistAt this stage, it would probably be more of a surprise if Marcus Rashford was ushered back into Manchester United ’s squad than if his current exclusion continued for another game, and possibly longer. His team are struggling for points, four places above the Premier League ’s relegation zone. Should they lose to Newcastle United at Old Trafford on Monday, that will be six defeats in December and the first time they have lost four in a row since 1961. Advertisement Who, though, can confidently predict that Ruben Amorim will bring Rashford back into a side that has scored fewer goals this season than 18th-placed Leicester City ? It feels unlikely given that Amorim’s recent selections have made it abundantly clear he does not like what he sees, or hears, when it comes to one of the club’s highest-paid players. Rashford has been omitted from the past four squads and, when a player is frozen out that way, the lesson of history is that the story rarely gets a happy ending. Roberto Mancini did make up with Carlos Tevez (or, at least, was willing to tolerate him) after their relationship at Manchester City appeared to have disintegrated. Pep Guardiola did the same with Yaya Toure and, in both cases, it ended with the players coming in from the cold to help City win a league championship. Tevez could even make light of the fact he had spent four months in exile because of the dispute that started with Mancini accusing him of refusing to come on, as a substitute, during a Champions League tie against Bayern Munich . The Argentinian disappeared to Buenos Aires for much of that time and was photographed on a golf course, leading to questions about whether he cared more about his golf handicap than playing for his club. So when he scored a hat-trick in one of his comeback matches, a 6-1 win at Norwich City, he made a point of celebrating with a golf-swing. Perhaps it is an unfair comparison in some respects given that Tevez’s dispute with City involved lawyers, some ugly public outbursts and open hostility rather than the same kind of issues that have led to Rashford’s removal from Amorim’s team — his attitude and lifestyle, in short, and the growing suspicion that a player with 60 England caps has badly blurred his priorities. The point here, however, is that it can be difficult to recall many occasions when something similar has happened with one of the Premier League’s A-listers and that player’s relationship with his manager has survived. Advertisement In theory it should not be too hard, you might assume, for a manager and player to talk it out and agree that, whatever their differences, they can still be good for one another. In practice, however, it seldom happens that way. So how does Rashford feel about United’s manager leaving him out of the squad for their games against Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur , Bournemouth and Wolves ? Is he angry? Does he feel unfairly singled out? Or does he accept, deep down, that he has been pushing his luck for some time and, if he is really honest, that he has brought these problems upon himself? All that can really be said for certain is that Rashford seems keen to leave Old Trafford for another club and we know that because he, and his PR entourage, have made sure to get it out . Nor is it the first time he has given serious consideration to leaving in the past few years. United, in turn, would be open to selling him bearing in mind the growing evidence that Rashford, at 27, is no longer the player that everyone at Old Trafford expected, and wanted, him to be. But a transfer is never going to be straightforward because of the numbers involved and, unfortunately for Rashford, potential buyers could be excused for having a few misgivings when the player in question is earning in excess of £325,000 a week ($413,000) and has been out of form for longer than he would probably wish to remember. So the other option is that manager and player reach some sort of understanding and agree to put the past few weeks behind them. And that is clearly not straightforward either if you consider that, even when Jose Mourinho’s relationship with Paul Pogba was at its most strained, he never left him out of the entire squad for one match, never mind four in a row. Harry Maguire has shown it is possible to return to United’s starting XI after being frozen out, removed as captain and made available for transfer during Erik ten Hag’s time as manager. Advertisement That, however, was a different set of circumstances given that Maguire’s absence was based on football reasons rather than, as it is with Rashford, it being about what is happening off the pitch as well as on it. United fans may point out that Sir Alex Ferguson’s relationship with Wayne Rooney survived the player handing in a transfer request in 2010 and contemplating what would have been a treacherous cross-city switch to Manchester City. The better comparison, perhaps, is what happened in the last few weeks of Ferguson’s reign, late in the 2012-13 season, when Rooney was removed from the team because the manager did not like the way he was living his life. The two men could barely make eye contact as they lined up to shake hands after Ferguson’s farewell match at Old Trafford and the presentation of the Premier League trophy. The story at the time was that Ferguson had told his replacement, David Moyes, he had teed up Rooney’s departure as a leaving present. Chelsea wanted to sign the England striker. But Moyes had other ideas — as did Ed Woodward in his first summer as United’s chief executive — and sorted it out in a frank discussion with Rooney. “Do you still think you’re a top player?” Moyes asked. Rooney replied that, yes, of course he did. “So, if you are a top player, why are Chelsea offering only £25million for you?” Moyes wanted to know. Rooney knuckled down and was United’s best player for the first half of the following season. Perhaps Rashford could benefit from that kind of tete-a-tete and, if it has the same kind of impact, maybe it would help Amorim, too. Let’s not forget we are talking about a player who, with 138 goals, is 15th in United’s all-time list of scorers, ahead of Andy Cole, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Eric Cantona and various others who are considered to be United royalty. Go back through the years, however, and there is a clear pattern that the exile of a high-profile player is usually a manager signalling those at the top that it is time to cut them free. Advertisement Perhaps you recall Mikel Arteta doing something similar with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to set in motion his departure from Arsenal at a time when many fans considered him their best striker. Guardiola did the same with Joao Cancelo because of issues behind the scenes at City. Mancini gave up, in the end, on Mario Balotelli and, as happened with Rooney, sometimes it needs the manager to leave for a player to stay. Every Newcastle fan of a certain generation remembers Ruud Gullit’s infamous spell as manager and the mutiny that was caused by him dropping Alan Shearer, the local hero, for a derby defeat against Sunderland , early in the 1999-2000 season. The more relevant example, however, is Rob Lee, who was considered to be a Shearer ally, ostracised from Gullit’s team and made to train with the reserves. Lee, an England international, was not even given a squad number. But it was Gullit who lost the civil war and ended up resigning. Lee was brought back into the team by Bobby Robson and would later receive a testimonial season to mark his service to the club. And Rashford? The saddest thing, perhaps, is that there was a time when it was easy to imagine he, a former academy player who has been at the club since the age of seven, would be awarded a testimonial of his own one day. Maybe that can still be the case. It just doesn’t feel likely at the moment and, if he is left out again, we can probably conclude that Amorim is not willing to make exceptions just because of a player’s long association with the club.
