The job was advertised and was pretty low paying. But this guy seems like a football guy and there's a reason why even professional writers have editors. So let's give him a break and time to improve.
That might be the case wage/salary wise but it’s a role where surely a basic understanding of gramma and word processing is essential.
There must be many BA English/Media/Literature grads out there that are scratching around for work and are keen football fans (I’d have jumped on it myself 12 years ago if I had the chance, stepping stones and all that).
