[QUOTE="Alias, post: 775615, member: 72652"] Now let me make myself crystal clear. I as do a great many Bristol supporters are bitterly disappointed, Steve’s arrival was expected to be a big boost to the club and help them gain the promotion which has eluded them for so long. But like most of us we realise we have to let him go he is ambitious and wants to coach at the very top, let’s be honest somebody has to fix England’s failure’s and I like so many wish him all the very best. Bristol RFC has maintained a dignified silence throughout all this but the RFU has repeatedly ignored the very rules it created to stop the tapping up and poaching of players and staff from clubs. These guys make the rules but then ignore them whenever they wish especially when a club is outside the elite. Rules are there for all to follow and No club, body or person should be exempt from them and those breaking the rules should be brought to book. Repeated leaks to the press, talking to players, coaches or staff without a clubs expressive permission is not the correct way to do business. Why is it those in the tall ivory towers of English rugby believe Championship clubs and any club outside their chosen elite are irrelevant? We are not! Luckily Bristol have the financial clout to fight this, many have not. I Hope for all our sakes they win, Not because we want Steve back because hard though it is for us he has to go, but because our own governing body has yet again failed to follow its own rules and the farce of the salary cap, premiership expansion and several other examples of late begs the question as to where the RFU are heading..FIFA ????
