I noticed that he failed to mention Brown as well. Could just
have been Danny forgetting, but seems to confirm the rumours

Think it was a great podcast, and in particular Ashton came
across very well. Not in favour, not going to play why sit
around doing nothing. I thought that was very open.
I think this move was less about the older players, but younger
ones and staff. As Ugo said do you think Nev wants to play this
game plan. Lots of good coaches have left Quins under Gussy.
Starting with GR, NE, Mark Mapletoff, Colding, Warren A, Sean
Long, Tony D, Tom W, Colin Osb........that is quite a lot. Not
all related I am sure to PG but........
I think board and coaches much more likely to listen to
Marchant, Dommers, Chis, Smith. If the future say we are leaving
unless.......why listen to a few older guys who have a year or
two to go.
Also maybe the board wanted to keep PG, but he didn’t want to
stay. Why keep him in club? We did that last time with JK and it
was a nightmare. Thus reason leaving mid seaso?
Just a thought.....

I wouldn't read too much into it. There are very likely legal
limits to what Danny *can* say. Gussy and the club will almost
certainly have a compromise agreement in place in which they
each promise not to say bad things about each other. And that
will extend to representatives of the club like Danny.
Especially this close to the event, he will have been heavily
prepped by the media team not to say anything that might give
Gussy cause for a grievance.

I thought it interesting that he said he had re-signed six weeks
ago so he says his signature wasn't linked to Gussy going
although the announcement that he had extended his contract
obviously was !
I wonder who he negotiated with? And also when Chris Ashton says
that "we discussed it and all agreed that a move was for the
best " or along those lines who was he discussing it with ?

Based on what the club have said, he'd have discussed whether he
was going to get chances to play with Gustard and his contract
situation with Millard.
