[fentiger]

Widely reported and Tweeted by Fissler that he has left Worcester!

From Twitter:

I believe Dean Ryan has left Worcester Warriors am trying to confirm but players called in for a meeting tomorrow.

Worcester News reporting 'speculation' that he's moving to the Rec.

Was rumoured last week, but board gave DR more money and Eastmond wanting out of Bath has started again too. Bath sound in a mess, poor form if they've poached though.

I wonder if Tigers can nip in and steal Bryce Heem from Wuss in all the confusion!!

[tigercaspian]

If that's the case,poor indeed from Bath and not much better from Ryan.
Poor old Wuss......everyone feeds off them.

Is there a bookie giving any sort of odds on the welcome DR will have when he takes Bath to play Glaws?????

I wonder just how much Worcester travails last season were attributable to Ryan. Talk about Glaws, that was one team that failed to achieve under his tenure. He talks a good talk does Dean, which makes for decent punditry, but I wonder just to what level he is capable of taking a team - I seriously wouldn't have thought that his coaching style would translate well at Bath.

Ryan Lamb on the move next?

I'm with you here Roly. I'm surprised. That doesn't seem like a good fit at all. A really strange appointment if he's going to Bath.

Amongst various rumours flying around, one of the rumours I've seen is that Dean Ryan wasn't happy about having a plastic pitch. If that is the reason, then fair play to him.

[tigercaspian]

Wuss Unoffy quotes Ryan as saying he "......no longer wanted to be DoR at a Premiership Club".........plastic pitch mentioned by some on there also

[rocktop51]

I have always thought that Ryan punched above his weight. May be totally irrelevant but my mind goes back to when he played for Wasps. The team was warming up at the club house end when there was the white picket fence and a young lad of about 8 asked him " excuse me Mr Ryan but could I have your autograph please' He looked at the lad, so he had heard him, and turned and walked away. The boy looked amazed, so had Rob Andrew who came up to him and signed his book. RA may not be the perfect administrator but he was polite.

I know I have gone on a tangent but it shows to me at least that he's a waste of space.

Apparently the row was over money, there was a Warriors press release last week to say Ryan would have "a top six budget" (whatever that is) which would then go up 25% next season. He has apparently assured the Warriors board he isn't going to another Premiership club.

Eye on the Roy Hodgson job looking after Rooney and Co.????????
