yeah thats been in quite a few of the papers and news websites in the past week.i think they should let him do it.considering how much money they have its almost nothing. if it works they can say they funded it and helped produce the talent.if it doesnt then they get lloyd off their back which he has been for a few years seemingly.he wasnt very happy about not being one of the recent appointments they made at the top of their management structure

yeah its a win-win situation for the lta if he gets the backing, if he succeds the the lta shows courage and initative, if he doesnt he gets slated in the press and they then get him out of their hair

I wonder if this mystery individual is Scotlands very own Katie Gater. He did say 3 years of funding.....She'll be 17 in 3 years........Speculation!

Although.....it could just as easily (and perhaps more plausible just now) be Jade Curtis, who is currently doing quite well on the circuit. Who knows. Give him the money fools!

I know I'm paranoid. But am I paranoid enough?

'...after seven years, the day he overtakes Henman in the rankings and should become British No 1, Andy Murray leaps ahead of him. Someone is telling him something.'
LOL. I made this pint last week about Rusedski. It's sad, but amusing.

Isn't it just. But then again, he knew going into this year that it was a three man race, said so in Aberdeen. I just hope he gets another stab at it before Andy (and if he stays on form- Tim) runs up the rankings and leaves him behind. It seems to mean something to him and it's be nice.

Yea I think they should let him do it. I mean we're not exactly bursting with success are we? (Apart from Andy of course!)

If at first you don't succeed, you fail.
