Huh?
On our weekly shop on Saturday we came across the following splash. Frequently the Southwark News splashes fail to make any kind of sense to me. Did the coach used to be a fish? Does he coach things that used to be fish? I suspect he is the ex-coach of fish, but that doesn't get me much further. Is this something to do with sport? Usually if I can't understand it it's sport. I wouldn't know the off-side rule from a rule forbidding a player to score a goal when there are no players of the opposing team between him and the goal save the keeper.
I also like the way Southwark News always seems to try and punch above its weight, with the splashes getting closer and closer to those of the Evening Standard. I'll try and get more of these in future.

Perhaps the ex-coach used coach a team whose mascot was a fish and are therefore colloquially known as "the fish".
In which case it really ought to be ex-coach of the fish, or fish ex-coach.
And if this is a field sport, then how appropriate a mascot is a fish? Did they have a trademark defense strategy of squirting ink at their opponents, and attempt to score goals by thrashing around on the ground whilst trying to stare out the other side?
