Charlie Nicholas’ desperate attempt to avoid obscurity reached a new level today when he compared Chris Sutton with Donald Trump.
The outgoing President of the United States is certainly topical but rather than come to a conclusion Nicholas left it to Express readers to work out the connection.
With Sky Sports pulling the plug on his long term deal as a pundit the former Arsenal striker has been left with just a once a week column in The Express to share his opinions with.
Since leaving Celtic for Arsenal in 1983 a large number of Celtic fans have viewed Nicholas with suspicion. At the time he had an offer to join Liverpool during their golden years that brought European Cup wins in 1981 and 1985 under Bob Paisley.
When Nicholas returned to Celtic in 1990 he was a virtually unrecognisable from the player that had departed seven years earlier.
As he attempts to revive a career in the media trying to outsmart Chris Sutton probably isn’t the wisest of moves.
‘The more I listen to him the more he reminds me of Donald Trump!’

Charlie Nicholas is very quickly becoming the forgotten man, past it. Therefore he’s going out of his way to be controversial and antagonistic.
Seems to be anti Celtic ????now he’s attacking our ex players @chris_sutton73

Charlie Nicholas is a weird guy.
Always seem to gloat about Celtic getting beat and always criticise us. Weird behaviour from someone who is supposed to be a Celtic fan.— Steve (@Mookieblayloch) November 10, 2020
