McDermott accused Pearson of being naive..
So unless AP is particularly thick skinned I can’t see him employing him as our coach..

McDermott did come out recently apologising for his comments and behaviour at the start of the year though.....maybe with his application being in the post was the reason for that

Most of us were pretty pleased with him. We had to watch sone absolutely dire stuff for most of his reign, but he pulled it round come playoffs, so we forgave him.
I actually don't think his style of technical coaching is that good (despite Peacock and Sinfield saying he's the best coach they've ever played for....)

It was his bluddy stupid comments. He began to sound like David Icke - expected him to recommend yogic flying

He definitely started to get a bit odd towards the end of his Leeds tenure didn't he. I sometimes thought the pressure was getting to him a bit.

I'm warming to the idea of having Danny Ward (with Jamie Langley) come in. Watson, Powell, and Wane are all pipe dreams. I can't see McDermott coming in after he criticised AP earlier in the year.

Ward has continually had to rebuild his London side and got them overachieving every season. He's developed youth too while with them like Walker, Bienek and Butler. He's also brough players in on the 'cheap' who are now in most teams starting 17, Kear, Williams; Abdul, Battye, Cunningham, Gee, Pitts, Yates.

Going by what AP has said we're going to need to tighten the purse strings over the next few seasons too. If Kelly and Jones leave, hopefully Ward can find us a decent replacement at the fraction of the price. I'd be tempted to add Shaul to that list as well and see what fullbacks are on the market. Salford and Cas have proven recently you don’t need to break the bank to compete at the top end of the table.

I know his team got relegated but in reality, they didn’t stand a chance, the London squad had the smallest budget of any SL team, but he got them to within 80 mins of survival. His teams have a strong bond and has created a great fighting spirit. We seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly, too many times in the last few seasons when the going gets tough we just roll over. Plus, they played a good attacking style too.

Danny Orr is leaving Cas. Reading their statement it sounds like he has a head coach job lined up...

Not with us

Chemics?

Would it be impossible to think we might go for Sheens?
Would he be somebody who could put systems in place ?

Not saying he’d be my choice like.

Ask him tomorrow IH he’ll be snoring his head off now.
