5x expanded by The Rambling Man (talk). Self-nominated at 15:20, 31 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

5x expansion from 28 January confirmed; inline cited throughout and sourcing looks good; didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing; hook is interesting, mentioned in article and checks out to source; QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 14:42, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, one thing The Rambling Man. A bit repetitive to say "after his side won ... the winning manager", is there a way to rephrase? - Dumelow (talk) 14:44, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, I've updated the hook. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 14:56, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Just to confirm I'm happy with the amended hook - Dumelow (talk) 15:35, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
