[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 650841, member: 57076"] that's very true. It's not 100% the FFR/coaching staff's fault, but it's close. You have to add into the equation the foreigner problem a bit still, but also in particular the Top 14 calendar. But I agree with you in that those two things are not the main cause. The far bigger problem is simply the coaching staff, I don't think anyone could discuss that further. Simple as that. EDIT: and btw, about the [B]coaching staff[/B], I'd literally have any coach from the Top 14 over PSA and Lagisquet right now I think. For the ones I can actually speak for, I'd have Christophe Urios (OYO), Galthié (MP), Gonzalo Quesada (Stade Frites-Patate), any of those two Castres guys (Darricarère for the backs and Milhas), Raphaël Ibanez (Bordeaux). Possibly Frank Azéma (newly in control in Clermont since Cotter's departure), the guys from Brive, the crew for Grenoble which I don't know but looking at their team's form despite having no stars... And I'm not even talking about Laporte who'll never ever come back, and Delmas+Mignoni whom I'm sure aren't crazy enough to plunge into there... [/QUOTE]
