Every season we are told theyve had a good pre season and we've played like unfit strangers. Maybe this way will turn out better?

Word is Longy and Mick Eccles (?) S&C bloke in hotel in Barnet and two of the 11 are senior pros from last year.

Wigan have the most professional set up in Rugby League. Long was tried there in a coaching role and found unsuitable. What sort of recommendation is that?
Hang on, London Broncos is the biggest joke in Professional sport....now I see how it fits....

Here we go again. "Broncos back from the brink." almost. No sign of Branson's or any other multi-millionaire's money again so we just have to put up with it or go elsewhere. After all the months of uncertainty, this looks like the least worst way out.

I'm confident that Long can coach rugby but whether he can manage a club's complete playing staff is another matter. And, as others have said, TR hardly covered himself in glory as CEO before. But he is older, more experienced, and hopefully wiser now. And he does have a RL background and contacts that were woefully absent from the present incumbent.

On a personal note, Barnet is pretty much of a no-no for me because of travel issues. Let's hope it's good for plenty. though.

think the fat lady might be packing up and heading home

She is high-tailing it up the M1 to a small suberb of Leeds with a BD6 postcode, apparently there is an iconic stadium that may have a booking for her.

More chronic than iconic I'd say.

Bradford fans don't appreciate comments regardingMonster Trucks, Rick Astley or Belinda Carlisle, but maybe her dulcet tones will go down better?

News is that talks have broken down at the 11th hour and that's that. Finished! !!??

Seriously?

News from where?

The Sun online. Granted it might not be the most reliable source but still .... www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sp ... -down.html

Gary Carter the writer is usually quite reliable, there is just something about Kleanthous, which does not seem right?

Cheers....not looking good.
Seems to be another day continually refreshing the index page here for news!

Sounds like London is on life support.

I know some will not agree, but I feel David Hughes has to get the deal what is best long term for the club! why I tend to feel Anthony K will look at the short term Gains, just my feeling with him.

He's never bothered before so why break the habit of a lifetime.

If he wants out flog the club to Lenaghan & be done with it.

Put up or shut up.

This is getting really ****ing boring now.

So much for 95% sorted and just a minor issue to sort out.

Gus had 3 years to get this sorted but he was too busy flogging curry.

Goon.

So clearly not such a minor issue then!

Huge hitch in London Broncos deal. Late demands on Kleanthous have left RFL fighting to resurrect it. Not good news.

There is a chance it could still happen but things will have to move quickly.

For those asking on who moved the goalposts, my info is Hughes and Mackay.

I doubt Mackay is capable of moving goalposts.

Not without falling over at any rate.

As for Hughes is anyone other than jaybs not now convinced that he's part of the problem?

I thought / hoped Mackay was out of the picture!

@ianramsdale Potentially a busy afternoon ahead....

Now he might just be off Christmas shopping with the missus for all I know but maybe it's good news??!!
