    billy you really are touchy aren't you! lol

    at no point was what i said aimed as a dig at you but it happens sometimes that a boxer starts to think they know best and don't listen to their coach as much. that means that the boxer doesn't have the same trust or respect for their coach.

    i don't understand what luke losing should make to ricky and deciding who he wants to train him? rickys head is obviously all over the place just like his boxing is at the minute, asking you to coach him again then deciding to stay with tony.

    imo ricky needs to decide very quick the coach he wants and he needs to stay with it, if he has realised that he made a mistake leaving you and that you are willing to coach him again (pretty sure you said on here that it would be impossible to take him back) then that is what ricky must do but if he is to have any chance of getting back to winning any kind of title he needs to get this decision right and fast!

    and your whole post about TRUST answer me these questions sensibly.

    if ricky TRUSTED you and believed in you then why did he leave in the first place?

    if ricky TRUSTS tony sims then why would he be asking you to coach him again?

    1+1= 5 when i do your maths. lol

    Ricky and I have spoke about what went wrong and a few home truths were told to him.However he made a decision to train in London with Eddie and Alex and in all honesty it hasn't worked for him, he was trained a way that suited his style and it worked for him, I know he's not happy with his current style but being in and around Matchroom will give him chances of titles
    With regards to Luke and Kevin, it was as clear has the nose on your face they were ahead in the pecking order, they both lose and Ricky is now ahead of them!

    that is good to hear, maybe that is exactly what is needed. he will still be with matchroom wether he trains with you or tony? he must have some sort of contract and if training with you would mean he would reproduce his best form then they should be trying to make that happen because the bigger fights he is in the more money they can make getting big fights to glasgow.
