Hibs boss confesses: "I believe in God and the only thing that scares me is Frank Sauzee."
Hibernian FC this week settled their long-running compensation dispute with ex-manager Frank Sauzee.

Fans' favourite Frank proved to be absolutely honking vis-a-vis football management and was shown the door last season.

Since then Hibs bosses claim the club has been the subject of increasingly worrying incidents, with Frank’s agent Pete Postlethwaite turning up and talking in a Pakistani accent. Or perhaps not.

"The parallels to noir hit The Usual Suspects were just becoming too apparent" a clubspokesmcguffin told the JT,

"When that Benicio del Toro bloke also turned up and no-one could understand a bloody word he said we knew it was time to settle. We’ve all got families you know. Although that encounter might never have really happened "

A spokesreader for the JT’s legions of fan objected strongly to the whole tone of the current gag: "To base the whole premise on the phonetic similarity between "Sauzee" and the name of Spacey’s character in the movie is just lame. Or perhaps it's brilliant, who really knows?"

The spokesreader attempted to corner the editor of the JT to remonstrate but, "like that, he was gone." Or was he?

Inside: Hibs bosses advised not to go anywhere near a strangely deserted rusting freighter.
