It will be heavy hitting,
What's he to lose? Nothing.
What's he to gain? Book sales.

On a related note, I wonder how many chapters will just be rambles or poems about how good a player Chris Mpofu is. Butcher loved Bobby.

Asked him on twitter and this was his reply
More a memoir than an expose...?(how do you do acute accents on Twitter?) ..but there are a few surprises I think!

Bayhaus' message prompted me to look on Butch's twitter.

I noticed Prosper Tsvanhu's all over that shit, even asked to contribute some things.

Given that behaviour and the brillian, yet scathing article earlier today...I've concluded this is a man scorned and ready for revenge.

So whats happened to (the good) Prosper to initiate this?

My thoughts exactly

I think it may have to do with the fact that he is now working for AC, so am sure ZC probably gave him a 'chose who you gon roll wit' scenario.

I don't think ZC would have given him a choice! That's why he is pissed off.
Look at the u19 scenario, Ewing and Blignaut blown out because they were appointed by AC. Not only that but the positions filled at u19 including the token white guy are now all of a sudden 3year paid contracts- never before.

It seems there are two types of former ZC former employers.

Those who go out and speak up after being messed by ZC and those who just go off silently into the horizon and off the radar.
We look forward to more like Jonty and Prosper...
