“It’s about creating content, basically,” Kane Cornes told the podcaster Dylan Buckley in 2021. “You’re always thinking, ‘what am I going to say next?’ Or you’re lying awake – what’s the angle going to be tomorrow? What’s the reaction here?”
Cornes has been in the football news all week. Jason Horne Francis was the matchwinner on Saturday night, but Cornes became the story. It’s the same most weeks. He trends on Twitter. He defends himself on TV, radio and social media. He drives the agenda. He weighs in. He lashes out. He pushes back. He’s the game’s most divisive figure.
