Westley starts off on the back foot at Preston after bizarre late night text
Preston players are fuming after four stars were axed in a rambling late night text by new boss Graham Westley.
North End’s new chief sent the line-up for Saturday’s 2-0 home defeat by Leyton Orient in a group text to his players at 2am.
He started the message by apologising for delivering the news so late, claiming it had taken him a long time to add all the players numbers to his phone’s address book.
And after reading on, experienced stars David Gray and Barry Nicholson as well as kids Adam Barton and Harry Bunn discovered they had all been dropped despite featuring in a 3-2 victory over Wycombe a week earlier.

Not the best way to start your managerial career. Reports that Westley will send his tactical thoughts ahead of tonight’s trip to Notts County via carrier pigeon is pure speculation.
