Let see, are we going to bring a replacement

[Hestonvilla]

Saw his Son had written an article on the pros and cons of buying Rio mainly cons and thought at the time that it may not go down to well.

[West Acton]

Not a great loss in my view

[lymehoop]

Clint Hill anyone

[Tarbie]

Pretty pleased about this to be honest.....never hear anything good about the guy!

Agree with Lymes, make Clint a Player-Coach.

[Shania]

Any good defensive coaches out there, I Wonder??

[sneezey15]

Glad during play offs he looked so dead pan when everyone else was fired up, really noticed this against Wigan as if it was a chore being involved no loss what could teach the players that Rio couldn't advise on if asked.

[clubandcountry]

part of Rio's duty's will be the defence coach

[Shania]

Ok thanks, Sneezy and Clubandcountry. Appreciated!! Ofcourse,Rio will do in that capacity.

[Rangers77]

Clint Hill anyone

Hope so. Would be a great player coach. Won't miss Downs, that's for sure.

[sneezey15]

Non probs just can't see Downs Teaching Rio how to suck eggs.

[Johnny Tightlips]

Bloke was an embarrassment.

Good Rangers boy but thank f*** he's gone

Sean O'Driscoll, one of the best coaches in the game and played under Harry at Bournemouth.

Good move. Always had concerns about some of Harry's back room boys......
