Glynn and Mele leaving the club

[kpj tiger]

Apparently budget related but I can't help but feel Glynn was vulnerable since Cohen went

Seems that way; the higher up the chain someone is the bigger the saving the club will make. Sounds reasonable that the DoR takes Glynn’s role in this case. He wouldn’t have been on a small salary.

Never convinced over Mr Glynn's competency, that said wish him and his family all the best for the future. David Mele seems a classic case of last in first out, necessitated by the coronavirus fiscal damage.

I think Glynn was perfect for the job he was eventually in; there can be no doubt he supervised several years of both excellent selection and performance for the academy.

His previous role was arguably too broad though.

It's a logical move with money being tight.
Who knows what may happen in the future when things are more stable.
Wilks is excellent in his role and so things shouldn't really change.

Still hope that one day we might be able to get Jamie Taylor back in a higher position.

Does make everyone's role a lot more obvious than it was when we first announced Borthwick though.

Will they be the last? It seems to be logically economic, my sympathy to both men but will it be the end or will there be more before the AGM.

Best wishes to both in these difficult times..
Guess we all would like something to return to...

It is always very sad to see staff leave and given this terrible pandemic and little income then pruning is unfortunately necessary.Whilst I am not sure of David Mele's full role in the coaching I wish him well in the future and suggests if he is to return to France he goes before Macron retaliates with the isolation.
I always found Ged Glynn very approachable at the Open Forums and felt that he had found the right role in the development of players. Thankyou for the good debates we had and I do wish you well in the external environment beyond Tigers.
