How Quins handled the Brown thing is obviously well documented,
but real shame to hear about how we supposedly proposed our
final offer to him after Gustard left - About how "he should
accept the offer because we over paid him the last few years"

I think we definitely did not overpay him from the services
which he provided us from start to finish but especially in his
last few years. He had one or two lapses in form but I would go
as far to say that in his last few years for Quins he was for
the majority of the time in form and as fresh as any of the
younger players. A big shame all round for Brown and I hope that
if we can’t sign him for a 1 year deal or short term injury
cover in the case of bolstering our options with Green out
still, then I hope he goes to a good team. I personally would
love to see Ealing be granted promotion in the review process
and then Brown join up with them. He’d be great for their
aspirations of staying up and also for the other guys to learn
from him as an experienced leader. Plus it would be a good move
in terms of putting that towards his future aspirations moving
into sports management etc.
All in all, whatever happens; good luck Browny!

Well, we brought Wallace and Gray (nearly wrote Grommet then!)
back, so why not Brown?

Big Jim doesn't have too much of a frame does he? Unfortunate
name, since he might have been a bit jim-shy?

Great interview, I really enjoyed that. Given the length of the
interview, it's about the most forthcoming he's been on why he
left Harlequins and also the Ben Teo incident. I know he has got
this player management thing in his sights, but it would be nice
if someone like Ealing got promoted and picked him up for a
season.

Enjoyed that. I'm assuming the guy at Quins who told him to
accept the offer is the bloke who one of our players later
tweeted about being "a bell".
It's interesting when you hear what different players think of
different coaches. You read Joe Marler's bio and he clearly
didn't rate Lancaster very highly but was good mates with
Gustard and clearly thinks Eddie Jones is a good bloke. Brown
seems to have a better view of Lancaster but not be that
impressed with Jones.
