In writing a letter of resignation from the exclusive Friars Club of Beverly Hills, the indomitable Groucho Marx crafted perhaps his most-oft repeated line: "I don't want to belong to any club that would accept me as one of its members."
By the very nature of the profession it would probably not work for footballers to be as fastidious as Marx when it comes to picking clubs, yet at the same time one can understand a reticence to join one of the second chance variety.
Mohamed Salah will have no choice. None of Chelsea's Second Chance alumni ever envisaged they would end up a member either.
