Uncle Colin

And he hasn't asked them to hang on to see if he gets a better offer.
Or perhaps he did and they said no.

So Cardiff City FC weren't prepared to just accept a handshake on the deal? ... what is the football world coming to?!?! (LOL)

RUFC has got to grow out of this amateurish "jumpers down for goalposts" type approach to just about everything, with the possible exception of the building of the NY stadium

I'm not sure that RUFC ever accepted a "handshake" deal with Colin.

I believe they would have jumped at the chance to sign a contract. He wanted to wait to see if anything better cropped up. I don't blame him for that at all. Probably his last job in management he wanted the best possible.

TS's dilemma was whether to wait or to say no and look for a new manager. He obviously believed that NW was the best we were likely to get so he hung on as long as possible.

Personally I think he should have said no

And 3 managers later we've started winning games again. All other managers have been on good long term contract apart from the bloke who turned it round. Funny old game.
