I wish there were this many chickens and eggs come breakfast time in Toulouse.

If the players decide they aint playing for the coach is it time for a new coach?

Is that an hyperthetical question?

Not from what i'm hearing.

BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Leigh press the self detruct button again!

We may be seeing the same smoke, lets see.

Hmmm... if thats true, it would be interesting to hear if the same person having a hand in it as last time. He should have gone then, but instead was bumped up and/or across, no matter how much of a hero he was on the pitch.

Whos to say who was in the right or in the wrong last time?
Benson lost control plain and simple.
Did you ever hear about the Video session and Deal or no Deal?

Nope

The contestants black mailing Noel Edmonds and the banker beacuse of a sex scandal caught on video, i heard that to

The Story goes that all the players were sat round the TV to watch the Video of the previous game, the first thing that came on the TV was deal or no deal, a certain large bald Yorkshire fellow demanded that the channel not be changed until he had watched the conclusion and all the players and coach did as he said and sat waiting until he was ready and let them turn the DVD on!!! Discipline wasn't the order of the day in that season i'm afraid!

I do think it's time for a new coach - a brand new coach, not one who's already here.

But to answer your question, a coach should always have total control of his players and have confidence that the board will back him rather than the players - so no IMO, if the players won't play for the coach then they should be shown the door. A coach is the boss, full stop, if the players don't like it then they should leave.

That's just for the players though - once the speccies and board have lost confidence in the coach then he should be gone - end of!

Well said.


Also are we really going down that well trodden road again of another coach change ?

I have faith in Neil Kelly. And I do.
