Rea, claims today in "League Express" that negotiations continue with Clubb & recruitment is ready for starting?

Another attack from Garry Schofield in his column, it's getting like a worn record, I see Garry similar to Alan Hansen, what have they really done since their playing days ended? but they like to sit in judgement of those who are willing to be involved in the game either coaching or management! Garry again questions how those who support London in Super League are now assessing the current situation. He gets great joy in quoting Dave Hadfield as losing faith in a future for the club. Usually I take up the bait and respond, but these days I see Schofield as a joke, like Ray French, they have never moved with time.

What a silly statement to make, Rea has invested almost nothing into building the current squad of players, to suggest that its his fault for the team he has is stupid. He has failed with motivating and getting the best out of the players he inherited, yes. But to say that Rea shouldn't be involved in recruiting when he was involved in many of the biggest names we've had down in London is ridiculous.

I agree wth the last 2 posters. Give Jose Mourinho Stoke's squad and he won't be able to turn them into contenders.

2014 is where Rea can be judged.

Rae is brilliant at spotting talent just no good at coaching. As for Schofield he is the biggest joke in RL surprissed people are jsut beginning to notice that.

Can't remember if Rea was any good as CEO. Maybe an option ?

Awful, he was CEO when we got to Wembley, despite 15,000 London at Wembley- no extra gain in fans and failed to get their ticket details from Quins who sold them! So that is a definite no. The biggest chance for us to establish ourselves and the data went to the RU guys and look what they did with it!

When a team makes the same mistakes week in week out, whoever is the coach, should carry the can! claiming it is not Rea's squad is a joke! All coaches would love the proviso, your job is guaranteed, as it is not your squad........

Tony was no better as CEO at the end of his term

Other than loans due to injuries, he's signed Tommy Lee and erm... Jamie Soward.

Weird sense of humour you must have.
