Nicolas Anelka is now player-coach of Shanghai Shenua. Yes, really. No, I promise you I'm not. He really has. It says it in respectable newspapers and everything. It's hardly your obvious choice of role for the lad given his past history of being Nicolas Anelka.
It could be worse though and here are ten jobs he'd be less suitable for:
10. Navy SEAL.
9. Victim support liaison officer.
8. Stand-up comedian.
7. Children's entertainer.
6. Finance advisor for the Citizens Advice Bureau.
5. Tourism officer for the city of Madrid. Or Paris. Or London, Manchester, Liverpool, Bolton, Istanbul...
4. France's Ambassador to... well, anywhere really.
3. Motivational speaker.
2. ACAS mediator.
1. Careers advisor (for anyone other than his brothers)

10 things worth more than Massimo Moratti's backing
The writing has been on the wall for some time in truth, but the ultimate signal that ended Claudio Ranieri's tenure at Internazionale came after their defeat to Juventus at the weekend when Massimo Moratti said "I think he'll be here until the end of the season". 24 hours later, Ranieri was clearing his desk and Inter were ushering in their third manager of the season.
Here are ten things worth more than Moratti's backing:
10. Monty Panesar's batting average.
9. A contract to manage first-team affairs at Palermo longer than six months.
8. A timeshare in the Algarve.
7. Millionaires running a penniless country telling poor people that "we're all in this together".
6. A ministerial resignation in order to 'clear my name'.
5. An internal investigation by News International.
4. A penalty shout by an away team at the Stretford End.
3. An invoice for services rendered from noted trustworthy government outsourcers A4E.
2. A LibDem election pledge.
1. Roman Abramovich's backing.
