TRANSFER RUMOURS!!

[breakdown]

Wouldn't be surprised if he turned his back, i'm sure he is 'in demand' given what he has done over the past 3 seasons with us. While I want him to join the academy because it is an important job, he probably is annoyed how the thing was handled and wants to look for a better job else where, probably on more money too...

I heard that Brian may not be taking up the academy post after all, he may have been headhunted by a prominent establishment across the water.

Taking a path that was very recently red?

What clubs over the water have vacent coaching jobs?

Have Ospreys or Glasgow sorted any coaching set up for next year? Sale?

[Bring Humph On!!]

Gloucester? Or what about something closer to home??

Gloucester? Or what about something closer to home??

Heard it was ospreys or gloucester, and more of the current team than just mcglocks!

We need Brian to stay. If he doesn't, we won't be making any headway in the Academy, as was the plan when we offered the job to him.

BUT:
1. UR have already said he will take up an Academy role. Sounds like a pen-on-paper deal has been done, and if he was to turn his back on that it would look very bad on his part.
2. He has a family here to cater for. Don't think he'd want to desert them in a hurry.

I think he'll stay. Gut feeling

[moondance]

Possibly Neil Best and an NIQ back rower? Part of bringing back a lot of homegrown players?

Ruckover, please tell me you have posted this on the wrong thread? It was meant to be on Joke of the day? A very sick joke?

But then again it could be connected with the plans to move the War Memorial Arch - to fit his head in.

[breakdown]

I doubt Neil Doak will be leaving with Brian if he goes

[ColinM]

They can have the boat

We'll have to wait and see! Offer is there....

[Gary]

If any of the coaches or players want to leave a potentially great , on the up team for a fading English side or an over-rated welsh one, then they can go. Don't think we would have a problem replacing them.

[nonplussed]

If mcglock goes elsewhere I can't help thinking he'd be found out

[breakdown]

Who would replace them?

[Jackie Brown]

If mcglock goes elsewhere I can't help thinking he'd be found out

I agree, don't under estimate the influence of Muller, Pienaar, Afoa and Terblanche in getting us to this level.

Neil’s new coach role
5:00pm Friday 16th March 2012 in News

WORCESTER Warriors’ former Ireland flanker Neil Best has been appointed Warwickshire’s new head coach for their forthcoming County Championship campaign.

Best, who won 18 international caps, will combine the Warwickshire role with his playing commitments at Worcester.

Best is an RFU level two-qualified coach but is working towards his level three standard.

Gary Watts, chairman of the Warwickshire senior side, said: “His experience of working with international and Premiership coaches will bring a slightly different edge to what we are doing.

“He doesn’t suffer fools and seems to be a straight-down-the-line guy.

Only took up the appointment a month or so ago. Can't see him coming back here.
