Be interesting to see how many follow him.

Chance for Di Young to get back into coaching ??

Can’t stand the Daily Fail but unfortunately when it comes to rugby they’re normally very reliable when it comes to their exclusives.

Can think of one major ball drop recently involving a stand off between club and players, but generally would agree.
Wasn’t it a Mail journalist who first uncovered the Saracens problems

I think it was to do with how they were being coached. I may be wrong though. I’m sure I read this somewhere.

What’s the betting that Cips was one of the revolters 😀

All a bit of a worry for Gloucester fans - after it looked like they were on the up aswell.

Perception is a very strange thing as Gloucester have actually lost more games than Tigers :smt003

Didn't win anything, if it was a Tigers coach then some would have called his initial improvement impact a 'dead cat bounce' or some such, Glaws then reverted to type and dropped down the table, Ackermann then turned tail and left at the first sign of another offer.

Not much loyalty, irrespective of how good he is viewed to be. Maybe by sheer luck or good judgement - based on whether we realistically considered him - our board got that one right? Will never know and it's easy to say these things with hindsight.

At least we ejected MO'C, he wanted to stay :smt002

Seems we may have had a lucky escape overall.
