    A house of fury & the truth about Lauryn Goodman’s move… what’s really next for Annie & Kyle after THOSE pics?

    FOR a man who fathered two children with his ex-mistress, enjoyed a covid-busting orgy with hookers, exposed himself in a bar and romped with a reality star in his Bentley, this is by no means a disaster for Kyle Walker.So what if he was pictured leaving an Italian hotel with two women late at night before heading off to a nightclub – merely hours after playing happy families with his estranged wife and four kids on a shopping trip?Love rat Kyle Walker got touchy-feely with Annie lookalikes at a hotel bar and club until around 2amCredit: BackGridHe treated the pair to £5,300 Super VIP extravagance at the Italian city’s star-studded Tocqueville 13Credit: BackGridAn onlooker said: ‘The women looked at ease in Kyle’s company, sticking close by his side’Credit: BackGridHe’s done far worse, surely. And yet, that’s the problem, isn’t it? He has set the bar so low that being photographed with two women leaving a hotel and heading to a nightspot is unlikely to cause him a sleepless night in the grand scheme of misdemeanours.But what about Annie?Those close to the couple have been at pains in recent weeks to stress that they are in the best place they’ve ever been since the scandal involving his former lover Lauryn Goodman erupted long over a year ago.In public, his representatives insist that the pictures taken outside the Casa Cipriani hotel are entirely innocent and there is no reason to believe otherwise. In private, they will be tearing their hair out that he could have put himself in this position, yet again.Sources tell me he flew home at the weekend (he’s currently injured) to collect more of his belongings to fill his £10,000-a-month apartment in Milan which is now ready for him to move into.He jetted back before the images of his latest night out emerged – no doubt thankful of the timing.FINAL NAILS IN COFFINBut whilst Casa Walker will be filled with fury today, those who advise him will also feel a twinge of exasperation. They had repeatedly warned him to behave from the moment he touched down.It was a near daily mantra for the England full-back. He was desperate for breathing space to gather himself away from the prying eyes of the British tabloid media.Man City star Kyle Walker confesses to betraying ‘soulmate & best friend’ Annie Kilner in astonishingly honest interviewBut far from using it to reflect, he appears intent on adding a few more final nails to the coffin for good measure. The images, however innocent they may be, will undoubtedly upset Annie.Sure, she’ll have been far angrier in the past, and with good reason. But it’s the lack of thought for her feelings that will sting most.He must have known how it would look just 24 hours after Annie and the kids made a flying visit to Italy? The images, however innocent they may be, will undoubtedly upset AnnieCredit: BackGridAnnie was pictured without her wedding ring this weekCredit: Eamonn and James ClarkeLauryn’s proposed move to Italy appears to be off – despite posing next to a removal truckCredit: BackGridOne source said: “He doesn’t care. It’s as though he is deliberately sabotaging any hopes they have of staying together. “And nothing is going to change. The bar has now been set at baby. If that can’t end their marriage then being pictured with two women outside a hotel isn’t going to cause any problems for him.”It’ll be put down to Kyle being Kyle. It’s what he does. It’ll anger Annie without a doubt, but he’s been doing this to her for years and it’s now an accepted part of their relationship.”They’re up and down. It changes from week to week. But the chances are this is going to be a bad week.”But they will no doubt take some comfort from the fact that Lauryn’s proposed move to Italy appears to be off. After vowing to emigrate to Italy to be closer to the £150,000-a-week footballer – whilst posing next to a removals truck with her worldly goods on the back – she remains in Blighty.

    Wigan SACK club legend Shaun Maloney as manager after two years but show class in statement

    WIGAN sacked club legend Shaun Maloney with the club 15th in League One.But they showed their class with a touching farewell gesture.Shaun Maloney has been sacked as Wigan bossCredit: GettyMaloney spent four seasons as a player with Wigan from 2011 to 2015 and was part of the team that famously won the FA Cup in 2013.The former Celtic, Aston Villa and Hull playmaker – who had a stint as Hibernian boss – returned to Lancashire when he took over from Kolo Toure at the Latics in January 2023.He provided some much-needed stability amid chaos at the Brick Community Stadium – despite being unable to save the club from relegation in 2023.Maloney kept Wigan in League One last season despite an eight-point deduction. READ MORE IN FOOTBALLBut Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat to Reading spelt the end of his tenure – leaving the club just six points above the relegation zone.Wigan said: “Shaun was appointed Wigan Athletic Manager in January 2023 during what would be an extremely turbulent period in the Club’s history. “Whilst he could not prevent the Club’s relegation from the EFL Championship, Shaun ensured that the Club returned to the third tier with fighting spirit.”Furthermore, through a change of ownership in the summer of 2023, Shaun stuck by the Club and helped us overcome an eight-point deduction and a squad overhaul to retain our 2023/24 League One status comfortably with matches to spare.Most read in EFLCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS”During his tenure, Shaun and his young team have provided the Club and its supporters with some proud moments, including an Emirates FA Cup Third Round tie with Manchester United, as well as three memorable victories over rivals Bolton Wanderers, just to name a few.”Shaun has also helped develop a number of our young players, some of whom have moved on to further their careers to the mutual benefit of the Football Club.Where are they now: The unusual careers of former footballers”However, it cannot be overlooked that the current League One campaign has clearly not progressed as anticipated. “Home results and performances, in particular, have been disappointing and below the standard at which our supporters expect. For this reason, the Board felt that it was time for a change.”The timing of such change will allow the club the necessary time to appoint a successor and enable the Club to look forward to the future.”Maloney’s No2 Max Rogers has also left his role with former Stoke midfielder Glenn Whelan stepping up as interim gaffer. However, despite his dismissal, Wigan ensured the 47-cap Scotland international was given a classy send-off – and insisted he is “always welcome” back at the club. The statement added: “As a Board of Directors, we would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Shaun and Max for their service, efforts and dedication to the Club.”We hope that in the years to come Shaun’s time as Manager is remembered fondly by supporters, as is his time as a player for the Club. Shaun and Max will always be welcomed back to Wigan Athletic Football Club and the Brick Community Stadium.”Maloney provided the assist for the winner in the 2013 FA Cup finalCredit: News Group Newspapers LtdHe racked up 47 Scotland capsCredit: Kenny Ramsay – The Sun Glasgow More
