Blackett to Edinburgh

Sounds like a top guy and a cracking coach. Been great to have him but I'd be very surprised if he stayed

Edinburgh coach (Blair) is leaving at the end of the season, so the stars seem to be aligning.

It leaves us in a mess again , we are losing 2 coaches and gawd knows how many players and we are wishing him the best ...I say bollocks , if we want to be a top side we can't afford to lose people like this ....people have short memories , b4 this guy arrived we couldn't buy a win , now we are loosing him and Frank's , I'm not full of confidence for the future ....probably will see peel serving in the new bar at half time tooo.

I travel over a 1000 a week and its a killer. Luckily though I have a company vehicle so I was surprised Lee doesnt also have one. Running my own car for that mileage in the current climate would make me think about somewhere else anyway. If he goes to Edinburgh that's a hell of a commute.  One reason for him to stay here.

Ha .. but I think a Head Coach job there with the money on offer plus long contract, will prove a no brainer and it’s a fantastic city ( no disrespect to Pemberton 😉)

Apparently all his family have been life long supporters of Edinburgh.
