Posted December 14, 200717 yr Take That shut door on Robbie Williams Source: bbc.co.uk Take That's Gary Barlow has said there will be "no place" for ex-member Robbie Williams in the group in future. "I think, when it comes down to it, he's just not going to be in the band again," the 36-year-old musician told The Big Issue magazine. Group member Mark Owen said that when the act reformed after a 10-year gap, Williams was invited to join in, but he decided to "walk his dog" instead. Until recently, the foursome had left the way clear for the star to return. They had said the door was "always open". Panned While the group have enjoyed renewed success since they reformed in 2005, with chart-topping singles, a new album and sell-out live tour, Williams' fortunes have waned. His most recent album Rudebox was panned by critics, and its lead single peaked at only number four. The singer had previously enjoyed a string of chart-topping releases. He failed to make any impact at the Brit Awards earlier this year, while Take That won best single for their comeback song Patience. Williams quit Take That in 1995 to embark upon a solo career, amid reports that his relationship with Barlow was strained. The group got back together after a television documentary which did not feature Williams.

I think its a bit more complex than just 'shutting the door' though (again - the media putting a 'shun' slant to things). I think both parties realise it is just a no-goer. None of the fans on either sides would want it. Take That this time - are about fun, laughter, putting on a brilliant show with songs and dance (OK - so Gary and Howard do dad-dancing - so what!) and it is about a foursome - there wouldn't be any place for ANY fifth person - no matter who. I think that by these recent statements - they're hopefully laying the ghost to rest and pleading with the media - in a roundabout way - please stop asking the 'Robbie' question - its embarrassing for both sides. If you want to see how excruciating it is - just watch Jason's face when the question is asked on the Jonathan Ross show recently (on Youtube) he looks quite angry - and I don't blame him. I would have thought after 10 years people would have moved on. Norma
