“Let’s not mince my words. I rested on the bench for 10 seconds to have a discussion with Paul Raynor, and someone screamed when I came out,’He’s come out from concealing’.
“I answer them. I don’t hide. I’m out the trenches. I don’t hide. I’m not like the others hiding behind the ownership. I don’t do that. I’m not doing my job, neither’s Paul, neither’s Byron , neither’s Tomo .
