The Patreon podcast suggests Lynagh and Bothma have some
interesting stories...

I would if I could - they kept their cards close to their chest.
Just that Gustard spoke about those two specifically (and I
think the inference was negatively).
Bothma was basically injured the entire time or was a walking
penalty machine.
Don't really know what his issue with Lynagh could be - seems to
work hard etc...

Bothma looked good in the few appearances he made between broken
arms but clearly fell out of favour.
Regardless of his talents, Gustard appears to be a highly
divisive character who rubs a lot of people up the wrong way. In
the case of players it looked like most of them didn't want to
be there when he was in charge and as a result we couldn't buy a
win.

Gustard also rates Owen Farrell at the best England 10.

Bothma has said that he was not looked after while he had his
injuries and that Gustard had seemed like he didn’t want him
around. This led Renaldo to become depressed and I think he
developed a drink problem. I’m sure I remember this from an
interview he gave when he was in Israel.

I think he also said he considered suicide.

I suspect many of us fans did as well.

Bothma obviously had a terrible time of it, and he seems to have
been treated awfully, but he never looked good enough on the
pitch. He was a major letdown. Perhaps with more support he
would've been a real asset to the team - I'm a firm believer
that good leadership involves knowing how to get the best out of
different personalities - but from an outside perspective he was
another in a line of probably inexpensive signings we took a
punt on that didn't come off (Luamanu, Ismael, CSW, etc)
