The rest of the Geordie press have given up on Fred, but the Sunday Sun - for the fourth week running - have had a "Freddy Exclusive".
God bless them.
But everything Shepherd has told them he was going to do, has not quite got off the drawing board.
Does it matter? The Sunday Sun get their exclusive and Fred gets his face in the paper ... a happy combination, I'm sure.
And talking of combinations ... Freddy has plans to buy Real Mallorca and bring in Sam Allardyce as boss.
Sunday Sun: "The long-time United supremo is already eyeing a striker — understood to be Shola Ameobi — and two other English players that he can take with him to La Liga."
All very good ... but isn't it the custom of the MANAGER to pick the players ... not the CHAIRMAN?
Yep ... the Crazy World Of Fat Fred!
