You need to bear in mind he has been saying he's retiring for years, though he does seem certain this time.

@Ginge and Ginge light: Keep it going, fraggles.
There was already danger that this could become the first discussion in years that has a significant percentage of on topic posts....

Let's hope he doesn't do something in a caravan to get that revoked.

Oh, hang on...
I think this post is relevant to the quoted one and therefore shouldn't be at risk of deletion, mate.

Nope he gets between 2-3k an exhbo, we tried to book him for our league presentation but he wasnt available.
Are you sure it was the real Phil Taylor for that fee?

I can remember a couple of years ago someone saying it was £5k plus VAT for him, sign of the times maybe?

I think phil might still play in the PL next year, who knows, it will be interesting over the next 6-7 months, even he if does still retire after the wc 18 there will probably still be plenty of talk of a comeback in a few years

He should go.

He knows he can only beat a well under par MvG so why bother hanging around.
