Alan would probably be better off X at this stage. It seems he feels a residual obligation to engage with fans as an ITK when he is about as sourced as I am.
Replying with "I've not heard anything" or fingers crossed emojis - I don't know why he or anyone else bothers.
He should enjoy his free time after leaving Sky.
He`d be better off joining forces with Elton Welsby.
That way they could keep each other company in the Tommy Frost and Al could act as communications officer for Elton on his Twitter account, whilst he got bladdered on pints of Stella at £2.80 a pop and also make sure Elton didn`t get battered in the bogs (again )
