Firstly, Peter Taylor is a useless muppet and is indeed stupid.
Secondly, Wicks was disruptive in the dressing room, have that info from a current Player. Constantly fighting with Cullip and Carpenter. Anyone that went to the Battle of Longford would have seen Carpenter grab him by the throat and throw him to the ground.
Thirdly, Steele Wanted out, he couldn't get his head around training properly and was a bit like a poor mans Robbie Fowler, but I liked him and loved him as a supersub. Probably better he left though.
BTW, I hated Taylor slighty less than I hate Hinshelwood.
