The Express and Star back page screams “Peron says non” as our mercurial talent turns down the Keegan and Al Fayed bankroll. Clearly the E&S sports desk either didn’t hear about last night or were a damn sight braver than those at the Meet the Manager thingy, because I wouldn’t have gone back there.
For what it’s worth, it looks as if someone thought it may be a good idea to swap Jeff Peron (one of the more popular people in Walsall) for Steve Hayward (presently one of the Town’s less popular people). Blimey. There’s a word for people who come up with notions like this and it rhymes with rick.
