Not in Hocks class, as a replacement for Bailey perhaps.

If he was to be part of the coaching staff again then yes. But probably not as keen if hes going to be the head coach again

I really hope we don't sign Griffin.

I would be more than happy with Betts coming back as part of the backroom staff,

But as head coach no thank you

Me too, he's crap. Sooner stick with Coley.
I could see Coley getting another year then we replace Fielden and Coley at the end of next season bring in LMS (not quite sure who he is ) and one Aussie or Kiwi

Agreed, as assistant fair play, as the head coach no thanks, big changes at Gloucester regards the coaching so he may very well be available, although as i understand it he is very well thought of as a coach there.

Isn't that to do with financail problems?
I've read that they have quite a few coaches/backroom staff on daft wages, Betts being one.

Dean Ryan has been sacked, Brian Redpath has taken charge so its a promotion from within, which will probably not harm Betts like a total new headcoach coming to the club might.

Financially Gloucester are fine, even if the media says otherwise they are a very rich club with many major backers.

Aye, and getting rid of Ryan is long overdue and will only make them stronger.
