Then to background manage Enstone team - but wanted to push out the Vasseur threat, who was probably the only real chance of success they had.

Now claims pleased to be shot of RBR despite begging them to stay a couple of months ago on almost any term.

Wouldn’t want him in charge of my breakfast, let alone anything important.
