Littler must accept Phil Taylor’s offer. If Taylor mentors him, gets him in better shape, practising and more focus, he can start becoming more consistent and doing better in the majors. All that said and done though, he did top the premier league and win finals night, which some believe is the most difficult thing to do due to the sheer number of games over many months. For him to take the next step and challenge Humphrirs long term, he has to make changes.
Edit, and yes, this is post ale clarity thinking.
