For my wife it will always be Percival after winning over $A 6,000 for a A$ 10 win treble bet at a charity race meeting in Sydney. She was posting on here at the time and Rueben Percival was the third winning horse of her treble. TWF was one of her favourite posters both on here and Hull CityMad. All the winnings went to her local hospital charity.
Jim White is going to explain exactly what happened at Derby on his show which starts in a couple of minutes at 10am on Talksport
Apparently he had a massive bust up with Mel Morris on Monday and had to be restrained, it's really not a good idea to try and twat your boss. Think on.
I didn't listen to Jim White but the rumour I heard was Morris tried to pick the team and Pearson went ballistic. Pearson is right to be angry and completely correct to fight his corner however there is obviously a right way to do that and it appears he hasn't.
Derby clearly have a large group of egos who have proven to pack it in when the going gets tough in previous seasons. Nigel wouldn't have any of that. He created the 'group of mates' feel at Leicester and I would imagine that the Derby cliques had none of it. Feel sorry for Nige because he's never done anything over night. It took him a while to sort us out but both us and you lot benefited from him being at the club. He needed time but to buy his time he needed to have a reasonable start and he's not managed it. Have to say that he deserves to go, because the players clearly don't want to play for him.
I agree he does need time to mould the team to how he wants them to play. His Achilles heal is that he doesn't know how to handle criticism diplomatically.
Fancy that ..... Nigel getting upset over players ego`s.... they should have realised he has the market cornered as far as massive ego`s go.
