Quote: mwindass "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 Ward and Jamie Langley are staying in London. Which also happens to be where your new coach is at the moment but he is only there on a short visit with his current club
