Ian Watson

Yes.

The word on the street, Ian Watson's going to end up at Saints.

That's becoming increasingly clear.

The word on the street is Brett Delaney might go there as well.

Yeah.

Or Ian Watson or so.

So realistically, I think it all depends.

Yeah.

Addressing its annual conference, he also said there should be a proper conversation about the matter.

But unions differ on what should be done, as our political correspondent Ian Watson reports from Brighton.

To the TUC leader Paul Nowak, the Reform UK donations have created nothing less than a crisis in democracy.

Addressing the annual gathering of the unions in Brighton, he suggested that the government's proposed cap of a hundred thousand pounds on donations from UK citizens based abroad didn't go far enough.

Uh, 2.02 with SBK.

Uh, Manager Ian Watson, Rochdale gaffer, got the old vote of confidence this week in a, uh, a club statement on the website.

Um, a, a statement that I admired, a level-headedness that I admired, uh, a desire to show patience that I admire.

Um, but do I think it's gonna magically change the performance level based on what I've seen so far? No.

don't, so I, I think, yeah, I think maybe they'd be interested.

Well, we can all, as I say, the final four last year was Lenehan, who's now subsequently got a job somewhere else, Carr, who got the job, Michael Crawley, who I don't think would go for it again, and Ian Watson.

Stands to reason that none of those four are probably going to be the head coach.

So they will have to look somewhere else.

I think he is fairly clearly the pick of the bunch in terms of, uh, kind of fit in that box and, um, you know, fit in what the club are after.

You know, the other one, as I mentioned now, I won't talk too much on him this week's episode I did last week, but Ian Watson is also there as well.

I think he's someone who will certainly come into the discussion.

I think he ticks the same boxes or many of the same boxes.

Um, probably going to be available I would have thought there's a chance he's going to be available because obviously there's going to be a change at Hull KR in that coaching staff we know Ian Watson applied for the job just 13 months ago so there's some um appetite there potentially for me and Watson um there's more evidence of appetite from Watson than there is Rowley for example so that would make sense um is he the sexiest pick that Cass could make probably not that's the flip side of it isn't it I think although as I said last week I could absolutely get on board with it um Would there be kind of backlash almost to that appointment? I think there actually could be.

I think he'd be very misplaced and I think he'd be a bit silly of some, to be honest.

But I think there would be an element of backlash from the cast fans if Ian Watson ended up getting the job.

I don't think it would go down particularly well.
