Yeah, I thought that was the reason when I watched the film, but if you read the passage, up a bit, that I quoted from the book it says "The old man said you would, but that's a luxury I can't afford anymore.." which suggests to me that there is another reason rather than Tom not being good enough, I have gone over nearly every reason, and I still haven't came up with the right one... any other suggestions? Thank you everyone who posted, it good to hear others viewpoint.....
Maybe he was the only one he could really trust.I mean he grew up in his family,so he knew that if there were one person he could trust it would be Tom.
