Reckon he'll turn them into slow, over-muscled donkeys like was done with the Scottish lads? Razz

Graham takes up Padova position as Bitcon is lured south by Gloucester

Futher info on the movements in the Scotland coaching team in this article.

.....with Graham, Tait and Bitcon gone, Andy Robinson and Sean Lineen stepping down, it leaves the SRU with a number of national positions to fill in the coming months.


Interesting comment from Graham in the article too -
Quote:
"It's not that I had difficulties with Frank (Hadden], but it's just like any job – we're both pretty headstrong characters and we would have disagreements on the way forward sometimes. We would discuss it and as much as I did disagree, or felt frustrated at decisions that you couldn't do anything about, we always came to an agreement that he was head coach and the buck stopped with him.

Since Frank is the only one still there, it seems to me the buck didn't quite make it as far as him! Razz

Several references in the article about differences and where the buck should have stopped. Perhaps George Graham has more to tell - but will he?

Good luck to him over in Italy, I hope he finds he is with people who want to improve their team.
