Will Slattery

Where's all this coming from, the briefing against him?

Is it from potential political opponents?

Is it just unhappiness in the Madrid press?

What's kind of the backdrop here?

I see at one point as well, or at several points rather.

So he had sheets in front of me and he had his phone and he would very dramatically take out his phone and read aloud excerpts from critical articles directly, you know, naming journalists, naming the newspapers and then the journalists in the room, some of them push back.

So all of that was going on.

And then as tends to happen, there's a moment which has gone viral where

he read an article by a female journalist and then questioned her understanding of football and then turned to another journalist at another point, a female, and said, well, let's let her ask because you men are all ugly.

And I presume he, at 79, thought that was kind of a charming compliment.

Well, this is just something a gentleman here, let the lady ask, you know, you're all ugly.

But all of that, I suppose, feeds into a man whose time is coming to an end, perhaps.

Just on foot of Perez threatening maybe to withdraw his subscription.

Wow.

Les Sexta, this is, you know, these infamous late night TV and radio shows which are so popular in Spain.

And I presume, is it the dude I'm thinking of with the grabbly voice and the dramatic music?

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

The down the lens kind of soliloquies, that dude?

He's super popular, I saw he's got like 2 million Twitter followers for instance, he's a big voice in football.
