Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: A disturbing undercurrent in the Social Media reaction to Dai leaving.
« on: February 19, 2020, 11:39:39 AM »
I agree about Derek the guy is amazing. I do think some of the comments are more aimed at some new members of the board. Who understandably have been brought in to tighten the purse strings and have maybe gone about it in a way that some are not happy with. But you cant always please everyone.
The point being I am not certain all the upset is aimed at Derek in particular. It's quite clear Dai and SV didnt see eye to eye on the direction of the club.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Statement
« on: February 18, 2020, 01:44:17 PM »
This concerns me. I had a feeling it came as a surprise to the club and was not planned. Discussions were clearly being had but what was it that caused Dai to want out? Was the new direction of the club to try and tread water for a couple of seasons in the hope things work themselves out financially?
I agree the coaching team needed freshening up but that has been recognised for a couple of years and has failed to happen. I look forward to seeing what Wasps future plans are. But I am nervous there is more to come about the financials and a knock on effect to the playing group. Launchbury seemed to imply there was something needed revealing.
Some nice comments by Derek and Dai. End of an era as said. Hopefully exciting times ahead but there is so much left to be confirmed. COYW.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Dai chopped??
« on: February 13, 2020, 08:23:53 PM »He is being asked to maintain this
Got any evidence for that?
It always puzzles me when people paint the board as a group of avaricious fools who care nothing for the success of the team.
They have more invested in this club's success than any of us. None more so than Derek who has invested staggeringly vast amounts of his own money into it with little in the way of return.
I agree I am not saying the board are in the wrong. I am only saying I can see this having been the case and the two views have come to blows. Tightening of the purse strings is a wise idea. I dont for a second believe they want anything but the best thing for Wasps future.
It just all seems sudden and unplanned so I cant see it being anything different. Only a theory.

After a disagreement with the direction of the board it's just taking time to negotiate a parting of ways. Sad. But I'm confident that's the situation.
When Dai was asked to get behined the move he made lots of promises to fans and players that initially seemed achievable. He is being asked to maintain this enthusiasm whilst having his hands tied with transfers and the much needed expansion of the coaching team which is more and more beginning to reflect badly on him as the performances begin to reflect the disarray behined the scenes. Only so long could this go on before it was going to come to a head.

I would guess he has not been dismissed or this whole thing would have been done alot more smoothly. There have been signs of frustration between him and new board members of late with the promises made during the move now being broken...training ground...investment in players. That includes holding on to players such as Will Stuart etc. Enough is enough and the silence tells me there are negotiations going on because Dai is so unhappy with the support of the board and his treatment lately that he wants out of his contract.
If he was dismissed a statement would have come by now. This has not been planned.

This isnt down to results. I reckon Dai has had enough of being asked to sell a narrative that is failing to he supported by the board. Cash is tight and only so long even the nicest of people can keep a straight face and speak to the media.

Howley was backs coach at the Blues under Dai to. I wouldn't rule it out. I believe Gleeson has been helping out with the backs so maybe he will just step in. I would like to see Howley though as said above a great track record but unfairly was an easy target for the Welsh press and public.

JB is full of crap always has been. He has to have an opinion that is different no matter what ridiculous stance hes required to take. Hes slated Wasps and their coaching team for ages yet didnt even know who Dan Baugh was. I like EggChasers but have contemplated stopping listening to it numerous times because of him. His love affair with all things Sale is a bit painful.

Tony Rowe when asked about the tittles being stripped. He said something like he wouldnt comment on it as there was still more to come. Interesting.

And Stephen Jones for that matter. He might want to take a long holiday and go quiet. Maybe do us a favour and retire from journalism.

Yeah Robson doesnt seem himself but seems to be running more comfortably. Needs to know when to put some pace on the phase play. But then again they have made a mess of our ruck ball.
