Manager tries to turn football team into chapter of the Klan

Coach turns out to be a Kleagle

An under-10s football Manager was sacked from his post for attempting to turn the team into a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan.

Coach Michael Joveson was rumbled when the new training kit, financed by Chad Maverickson - an active member of the White Supremacy group, showed up at the houses of bewildered parents.

"It was mad, I thought the missus had got hold of my MasterCard again, she was watching the shopping channel the other day and they were advertising a bathroom set, I thought she'd gone ahead and bought one," said one angry parent of a child who played for Hangleton Rangers youth team.

Joveson was sacked under a breach of the FA rule which states that "football kits must not carry any kind of political message plus that whole 'kick racism out of football' campaign that we've spent a fair bit of coin on," according to an FA statement.

"My son is renowned for his overactive imagination. So when he told us that the coach had asked the boys to refer to him as the 'Grand High Wizard," said Toby Hicksburg, a shocked parent of one of the players, "turns out he wasn't fucking about, he really was a massive racist."

According to one of the boys, training sessions involved dressing in the robes, which had previously been supplied on training day by the coach, and standing in a circle doing passing drills around a burning cross whilst chanting. The two assistant managers rode horses throughout the training sessions, with the horses also dressed in white hoods.

Players were also encouraged to target players of the opposite team who were 'darker' and coaches would routinely ask larger players to man mark players of the opposite team who were clearly of a foreign origin.

"It all falls into place now," added Hicksburg, "Big Dan is the best keeper we have, and he's got a beast of a left foot. The coach put him up at right midfield and we were all flabbergasted at the decision. Turns out, the kid playing in left midfield was Chinese, ended up going off on a stretcher, but oh well, his parents own the local chippy, and they forgot my prawn crackers once so I was kinda happy about it. 'Teach the bastards a lesson' I thought at the time."

"At first, I thought Joveson was really friendly with little Stevie Lynch's parents, he always said he was off to the Lynch party, but.... shit, that's a point, I haven't seen Akinwa for a good few weeks now. Bollocks, I hope he hasn't.... you know.... shit, he was our best striker and all."
