CP needs a new Manager

CP please fire your Manager. I cannot believe he allowed you to lose that lucrative Digicel contract to Tizzy and her band. He is a waste of time. Please get someone else to manage you. I am begging!!!! How could Burga allow this to happen? And he claims to be such a excellent manager of CP. Yeah right, when cows jump over the moon. Self praise is no praise at all.

CP a word to the wise is sufficient.

I hope you won't snub Digicel the way you did your former Antiguan and Barbudan owned and operated sponsor who gave you much more than you were willing to give back.
