Oh boy, what a challenge/gamble to continue persisting with Tom. Yeah, we can go on about luck, and even pull out exceptions like Teddy to make us feel better, but....
How do we decide his “bad luck” is just that? Or that it’s about a growing body and it will mature and settle down? I doubt anybody at the club knows that answer, and even if they did, they probably wouldn’t want to answer.
It’s a lot of money tied up in a roll of the dice.
