If I was Jack, I would have ducked out of this situation too - it’s wholly embarrassing and demonstrates enormously just how ineffective her “campaigning”over the years has been. That a young footballer can come along and, within a year, and with charm, humility and a whiff of deference combined with determination and absolute steel in his spine, can trump every single goal and objective of a ten year “career” - well, must be hard to cope with - never mind the fact that she absolutely cannot demonstrate even a whiff of sour grapes on this occasion, like she did with “THAT MAN”, as she risks looking even more of a dick.
I am still utterly convinced maintaining her relationship and contract with her publisher is why she isn’t here. We know the political book and the Mrs Beeton knock off would have been atrocious, and almost certainly need some serious revision/re-writing. Her “time off for health reasons” story has changed way too often to be a credible reason. Rehab is just the excuse for daring to submit such awfulness, so very very late. She is bright enough to know the publishers will cut her some slack, if only to show they did their best by her, and supported her to the best of their ability, when they finally get do rid. After all, it won’t cost them a great deal to push her back, and she hasn’t got a chance to get mileage from the “My contract was dumped after I admitted addiction” Guardian articles. Like she did when she decided she was trans for a few weeks.
