"Okay. No matter what, Tony Twain has left the footballing world. It's time for us to stop focusing on him," On BBC's "Match of the Day", the three guests said this when discussing the important events that happened in the footballing world. They unanimously agreed that Twain's retirement would be the second-biggest event in England sports this year. The first was naturally England's triumph in the World Cup.
This also represented the media's attitude. After hogging the limelight for more than a month, with the start of the new season on the horizon, a retired manager would not be able to attract attention anymore, even if he was a top manager. Besides, if Twain was to not manage any teams anymore, there would be no point in making a big hoo-ha out of his retirement. Outside of football, Tony Twain was nothing, and the media did not have to entertain him anymore.
