If he actually resigned, he would not have received a pay-off. My money would be on a sacking, which both sides have agreed to call a resignation.

It's beginning to sound like maybe he really did resign. OEM's take can be found at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/tennis/article7066113.ece

OEM is sticking to his line that Greg will be offered the job - and he must know enough to be pretty confident, because having had his first report about them talking to Greg denied, I doubt he would risk getting proved wrong again.

I'm not in favour of too much player power, but Andy does have a point when he says:

Its not just me who wants to have a say but the players collectively, Murray said. I dont want to be responsible for everything in British tennis, I just want to play and get on with my own career.

I have to say, in regards to this whole "the LTA will be reviewing" etc... it's about ruddy time. They've been making a right hash of things. Especially with grass roots tennis.

I can exclusively reveal that in the campaign to save indoor tennis courts in a certain area (I shall refrain from naming names at this point, until the moderators confirm whether this is an issue or not), the LTA was brought in for the attempt to try and save the courts. The LTA consultant, whom I shall refer to only as Mr D, was then awarded the contract for maintaining the outdoor courts in the complex (only the indoor courts are being torn down), and in the final meeting to decide the fate of the courts Mr D from the LTA then chose to side with the SCL and support the tearing down of the tennis courts in order to build a ten pin bowling alley. This agreement between the LTA and the SCL was kept secret until the final meeting, previously the LTA had assured the campaigners to save the tennis courts that it would do everything to support them. And yes, this is the cause that Judy Murray supported, stating that "We need all the indoor courts we can get as our weather is so bad in the winter months. We need to be investing in tennis facilities not removing them or we will never grow the game."

For shame, LTA, for shame. As Judy says, this is what's wrong with tennis in this country. And the LTA have the audacity to be surprised and wonder where they're going wrong?! What's going wrong is that they are destroying the grass roots which tennis in this country desperately needs to thrive and grow. We can all see how the situation is currently, and the LTA are seeing grass roots tennis shut down even as we lost that tie in Lithuania, thus making the situation worse and depriving British tennis of badly needed facilities, I ask you where will the kids train if their regional tennis centre has been shut down? The next nearest facilities could be over two hours drive away! - things are bad now well they're going to get worse in future if this continues!
