Until 'at least' the end of the season I think...

This effectively counts out Blackett. Diamond has first dibs.

We had made our approach to Blackett, it's now really about relocation and whether he wants to be effectively the 2IC. Hope he does. Looks a good fit for us and the players like/respect him.

Lofty has agreed to 'onboard' him this week...that should sort it (Oracle in attendance as his glamorous PA...now, try unseeing Oracle in a pencil skirt and lip gloss...I can't).

That is a truly frightening thought - we are trying to keep Blackett aren't we??????

I only need 5 mins to convince him to stay.

That is key - you have some inside info here, so like the others I truly hope he can be persuaded to stay! The Scarlets, at least, don't have a 'hire and fire' mentality, if that sort of stability means anything to Blackett.

And yet if brighter lights and bigger wages are the prerequisite....we wouldn't begrudge him.....yet again I've always said if there are visions and your heart elsewhere and you don't want to stay....off you jolly well go. And thanks.

Blackett won’t stay I’d he has a head coach offer somewhere else, sadly

  Impressive start! but turning over possession  or kicking away  is unacceptable.

Can someone tell me is this approach going ahead ....I've got new shoes and the pencil skirt is really uncomfortable...can someone tell me I need to wear tights or go the full hog mog with suspenders and open crotchers 

Lofty pm me as I've lost the receipt Confused

That is usually the caseWasp but interestingly Blair is leaving Edinburgh because he wants to go back to being a full time backs coach. He has given the head coach role a chance but finds the non coaching things like renewal & retention etc not as fulfilling.
