jumping ship before poop really hits the fans?

Just watching sky sports news too. Now, the delightful Charlotte always brings a smile to my face but today tops it off!

Please can someone assure us that he isn't doing both roles before I crack out the champagne. Best he focusses purely on bringing British tennis to a new low instead of both sports.

Lewis wasn't the problem. He was just a figure head. Wood and his cronies are the ones really ruining the game.

Might get a bout of tennis elbow now. The cause is from over use of the serving arm I believe.

Makes a change from his wrist, you know, all that pen pushing in red hall!



The whole lot running our game are to blame, he needs to be the first but not last to go.
A couple of cricket clubs need a new heavy roller to roll the wickets this season. Any ideas?

On a more serious note, this guy was well thought of, loads of experience and highly qualified. He has been at the helm with big Nige through many many controversies over the last couple of years.

Can't help but wonder what's next the way things are, better the devil you know springs to mind but we must ensure the right leadership is put in place to sort out our sport.

Quality Rich! Dare you to post that on the VT in response to your developing row with smokey!

Lewis is a horrible weasel of a man with double standards and an agenda. Good riddance and good luck to the All England Club, they'll need it after Lewis nearly killed tennis once before. Their loss is our gain!

A great opportunity for the RFL now to get a good man in, please not Wood or Herherington
