How about chasing a top class coach for a change?
Like who?
How should I know? I am not the one who has access to agents acting for coaches or in the loop as to who might be open to offers. That’s Rads and IL’s job to know this and it’s a job they seem pretty poor at.
"How should I know?" Jeez, can you hear yourself? Top coaches are not some Illuminatii whose names are kept secret from the world. Everyone who takes an interest can point to certain individuals who might be considered.

You appear to be starting from a position that there are in fact good and viable candidates out there, but that Rads has been inefficient in locating them and making a deal.

So who the hell are they? or is a constructive post from you asking too much? The rest of us who have to read your diatribes surely deserve it.

You are just repeating the same stupid and facile arguments people put forward when someone says we need a new scrum half or hooker or whatever. If I had a £ for every time someone has posted “Who do you think is available?” which is clearly meant as some sort of excuse that we can’t sign anyone I’d be rich. Now you are doing the same thing with the coach.

We didn’t know Brian Noble was going to be poached from Bradford or that Madge was coming from Melbourne because we weren’t party to that information. Didn’t mean they weren’t available did it?

OK so if we are saying that we should be able to prise anyone from anywhere then its a list of the best - so lets go for Craig Bellamy, Cleary (and son) or former England boss Bennett?

Its less obvious who is or might be available - so a basis for discussion also?

Well excuse me if I I' am sick of the whining and moaning that we're going to get on a daily basis from now on.

Everybody here knows your POV, Dave, you've repeated it about a million times.

Could you do the rest of us a favour and not repeat it any more, unless you have something fresh to contribute?

Not what I said or meant. As I think you know perfectly well.

Please don't put words in my mouth.
