They can’t sack you if they can’t find you – at least David Moyes will hope that’s the case.

The former Manchester United man is all but done at Real Sociedad after a poor start to the season, but he won’t be sacked just yet.

But it’s not a last-minute change of heart from the club’s owners – Moyes may have a bit longer in the job because his flight back to Spain has been cancelled.

Moyes had returned to the UK after La Real lost to Las Palmas on Friday night, and many expect the former Everton boss to be sacked upon his return to Spain.
