Reid was clearly divisive figure at BP. Many had probably made their mind up about him on the day he signed. Ok, Reid shouldn't have posted his views on twitter. Mellon should have had the balls to deal with him, it should have been done behind the closed door of his office. The matter should have been concluded there and then.

Wheater behaved similarly and was dropped by that Moroccan idiot. Who suffered? Not Wheater. Yet the supporters were behind Wheater. What was different?

Then Reids loan ends, Mellon elects on a second dose of retribution, throws him straight into the team, and then out on loan again. Whose the bigger idiot?
