Mr. Jones might become free following the 6-nations :)

I would rather watch Sarries with a fez on my head or Chiefs with that ridiculous chant in my ears than Wasps with Jones on board. The club would receive zero pence of my cash if Jones was appointed. On a good day he would be about as popular with fans as a case of genital herpes.

I am not convinced regarding the mooted Erasmus talk. Don't think it would happen, for one, and basing an appointment of a WC win is all well and good, but SA had to beat Italy, Japan, Wales and England in that order. That is it, really. Sure they had a decent year before, but not outstanding. It was not exactly as taxing as the routes taken by previous WC winners, and in any case international coaching is a long way from club coaching.

Glad someone else isn't enamoured with Jones regardless that I hold him responsible for Sam's injury and Wade leaving RU amongst other things.

Options are looking thin on the ground when we take out those who are unavailable, unaffordable and unlikable.

Still looks like Howley is favourite.

We don't need to get someone before next season.  So we aren't restricted to who is free now.  I don't want to finish at the bottom of the table, but if it means we get a better DOR then I'm ok with it.

Jones is all three. Still it might be fun seeing Robson play eight and Shields at outside centre. Almost as ludicrous as Daly at full back.

Well you rotten lot could have let us enjoy the idea of Rassie a little bit longer! Ah well, back to expecting Richard Cockeril.

No chance of Jones playing Robson at 8, he'll have been swapped for Ben Youngs.

I have reservations about Rob as a potential DoR for us. I just feel that he lived in the shadow of Gats for too long. When he did run the Welsh ship, it did not go too well.

Personal choice would be Joe Worsley, with Dave Walder as a part of his team.

Agree Rob might be a good coach but DoR is, I feel, not something he or we want. Yes Joe and Dave would be great but can't see it unfortunately.

I feel like this idea of Kinga, Worsley or Ibanez is rather fanciful.
Not only are they likely happy doing what they're doing and living where they're living, but the current Wasps club probably doesn't bear much resemblance to the London Wasps they left behind.

They have the Wasps DNA that we want, but do they feel that the current Wasps club has the same DNA as them?

The answer is that I genuinely don't know, but I suspect that if any of them had a strong desire to be working with us, they'd already be here.

Of the three you note only Worsley is potentially available so people hope that he might be "the one". I doubt we will hear anything for some considerable time so the rumours will continue until people count themselves out - like King has done.
