Desk note: The wire frame for this story led with the Sheeran clip, the visual, the celebrity quote, the fan-identity resonance. This piece used the promotion's structural significance and McKenna's managerial arc as the lead, treating the celebrity dimension as a subplot rather than the story. Both framings are defensible; the choice reflects this desk's view that football journalism's default to entertainment sometimes obscures the achievement itself.
