Western Force sponsor Emirates approached Jake White

[blueandblack]

WJ's statement is true... Jones has out coach Mitchell at numerous levels...

on record, jones has achieved success, mitch hasnt!

start with "emirates sign eddie jones".

Now, of course, if the Western Force's major sponsor, Emirates, want to sign Eddie Jones up to do marketing for their airline or whatever, thats up to them...

[waratahjesus]

well the force board has shown they dont pander to sponsors and run a fully independent team so your probably right there!

[BeeJay]

Please, not Eddie Jones or Jake White! Let's lure Pat Howard or Rod Kafer to Perth!

White told The Australian the approach about the Force coaching position "was not a formal thing".

"I was at a function when an Emirates man came up and said to me..."

F*ck me, now isn't that some outstanding investigative journalisim?!?!?
All of this has generated out of an unofficial enquiry by a faceless "Emirates man" at a function. I would have asked the same thing if I met White and the reply would have had just as much value.
I think someone needs to learn the difference between an off the record story and a baseless conversation.
Honestly, the media in Australia need to give themselves a good hard collective uppercut and lift the bar, this is Who Weekly shit.

i think Eddie has served his time in union, he seems to have lost the plot since been sacked from the Wallabies

wow

[PerthGirl]

More bullshit!!

[I]... unofficial enquiry by a faceless "Emirates man" ....

maybe some person wearing a nametag with the Emirates logo on it, but not necessarily being from Emirates.

[travelling_gerry]

Can I confess that I asked John Connolly about the coaching issue?

[Burgs]

A WITCH!!!!

WJ's statement is true... Jones has out coach Mitchell at numerous levels...

Of course you're right Muddy.....the only thing that sticks in my mind though is the old adage, 'you're only as good as your last game'

How did the last time Eddie and Mitch coached competing rugby teams work out I wonder?

[tragic]

Eddie Jones turned me into a newt.
