Off Topic Ospreys, Wales & BIL

Fukn hell

 

They said c6,500 - but they include season ticket holders whether there or not .....

 

I watched it on S4C with my Father-In-Law, we rather enjoyed it! Sam Davies had missed a penalty, rather surprisingly as he'd kicked well, quite near the end and made up for it with the drop goal. Great result for the fans.

 

Ospreys thumped (and ‘whitewashed’) by the Turks ....... 44-0

Davies was told almost 2 years ago that the Ospreys was being run badly, and around 20 months ago that the Turks et al were ‘after’ them to take them out.......

Given that there were 2 rights issues needed in 2018 it seems that the first warning was correct...... and the so-called merger debacle suggests that the second warning was correct as well .....

Strange to think that since Cuddy was sidelined all those years ago, the Ospreys have won ferk all.......

 

Well well well

It's so sad how far they've fallen in just a few seasons. I always looked forward to beating the Scarlets, that scoreline was unthinkable in my lifetime!

 

Decisions made by Hore and Blyth - exacerbated the decline

 

Ospreys can announce that they have reached a legally binding agreement to part company with head coach Allen Clarke with immediate effect.

Mr. Clarke joined the region as forwards coach in 2017 before being promoted to head coach after signing a three-year contract in 2018.

The Ospreys would like to thank Mr Clarke for all his efforts and contribution while he was at the Liberty Stadium.

There will be no further comment by the Ospreys on this matter.

 

Another para has been inserted:

Ospreys rugby had determined that a formal process is not warranted regarding previous comment relating to a matter of personal conduct on the part of Allen Clarke.

 

In other words “we’ve paid him off and he’s signed an NDA”

 

Yes - but strange that the first issued statement omitted it ....

 

That is strange, sounds like he had them over a barrel, then forced them to insert this into the statement.

 

Rhys Webb, the Wales and British & Irish Lions international, has signed a two-year deal to rejoin the Ospreys from next season.

 

Much needed I think.

 

Actually, the wording - including that paragraph - had been agreed upfront!

 

Over my head.Too much politics and in house scraming.

 

Tell me about it ......

 

I can't..

 

I’m told that Davies was told it was being mis-managed in February 2018 and that they were being targeted 2 months later....

Initially, he dismissed both.

Soon over £2m had to be injected into the Ospreys to keep it going.

Soon after was the merger nonsense .....
