Bonner gives knock back

Schools are better down there too.

Then of course there's the O/H, does she want to move "oop North"?

I get the other half comment, but schools? Really?

Is it that the RUFC job is a poisoned chalice, not at all as attractive as it should be?
,

Everyone points out that we are 8th in the Championship and looking like staying up comfortably with a Talented squad, yes. But with us looking likely to lose some of the better ones in January as things stand, or at the end of the season for sure, and having no money to spend to push on or strengthen, and without any permanent coaching staff to help the transition, doesn’t it look more likely that the only way is down and anyone taking the job is on a hiding to nothing?

Beau, let's see where we are after a very tough set of fixtures in November. We should then have a more clearer picture as to what we're all about. Who knows, we might have cemented ourselves even better than anyone of us could have thought before November.

November fixtures

Burnley (a)
Norwich (h)
Sheff Utd (a)
Luton (a)

Pick your points out of that lot!

South Yorkshire always seems to be on the list for the worst schools along with inner city London and Sandwell.

And private schools are ridiculously expensive now.

This is a list I’ve never seen. Not saying it doesn’t exist, but this seems a colossal generalisation.

This loyalty thing doesn't wash with me. Firstly, why come for an interview then?

2nd, according to reports he verbally accepted the deal he was offered and changed his mind later in the day.

That's not loyalty is it?

Would PW have been loyaly if he'd turned Derby down? This site would have been in melt down.

Interesting you should mention loyalty avondale, even with people who, rightly so, are classed as gods at our club UTM

Didn't breckin leave us once upon a time. Not so long ago?

[Townerslovechild]

I'm pretty sure that if someone doesn't want to be our manager it's nothing to do with living in the town.

Not so long ago "heroes" was good enough. Now these guys are "gods". Do get a grip. They are just players, managers and owners, acting in their own interests that sometimes coincide with ours. Shakespeare dealt with it inCoriolanus and Schuckman explores it in his 1998 paper, Masculinity, the Male Spectator and the Homoerotic Gaze

Yes, there seems general excitement when a club employee actually succeeds in the job he's paid to do.
