Chelsea FC announced today that Kate and Gerry McCann, parents of missing toddler Madeleine McCann, have been appointed as new joint managers of Chelsea. The surprise move has stunned the football world but the board of Chelsea FC have explained their motives.
Chief Executive Peter Kenyon said at a press conference yesterday 'Yes, they are an unknown quantity in terms of their football pedigree but they've shown time and again they can handle the press well.'
He went onto explain that the McCanns, who are currently classed as 'aguidos' (or 'self publicists' in Portuguese), were appointed on merit. 'You've only got to look at their record so far. Last season, they won £250,000 and only lost one.'
