WE'LL TAKE THAT FROM HERE

In what looks rather like a bit of political window-dressing rather than an actual move, Take That are saying that their manager Nigel Martin-Smith won't have much to do with the reunion shows. Martin-Smith and gurning buffoon Robbie Williams don't really get on, and it's thought that by playing down the role of Martin-Smith in the events might make it easier for Robbie Williams to turn up and spoil everything.

Don't do it! Someone ring up Williams and tell him that Nigel is actually going to be on stage all the time, carrying a laptop running powerpoint presentations on what the band should do next. Stop Williams.
