Does anyone know if there is any truth in Zaire Taylor being appointed assistant coach of the London Lions as well as being a player

A couple of reports about it now, so it looks like it could happen. I had imagined that Sulli was more likely to take that role but perhaps Zaire insisted on it as part of his signing.

But has Sullivan even muted at the coaching route? Not that I'm complaining at Zaire doing!

Think this is a great idea by the management! Zaire might now be tempted to stay beyond the year he as signed for! with Sullivan signed to a 2 year contract as well could be a very good backbone for the years to come!

I'm disappointed to see that at least one of our Americans (Lovell Cook) is still in the States. Its only a week before the season. They should have been in for at least 2 weeks b4 the season starts to train with the team and start gelling.

I have to agree with the last post. Last season there was the permit fiasco with the import players. No excuse this season. The full squad should be here now and training together.

This is getting quite ridiculous! They will be severely jet-lagged if they don't come over in the next few days!
P.S. Joe is looking like the next announced signing...SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST ONE HANDS DOWN!!!

Team preview on the BBL website again mentions Zaire taking on coaching: www.bbl.org.uk/club-preview-lions/Disappointed to hear some players may not be here and preparing yet, only one pre-season friendly and a week to go until competitive action. |

Those three being Lawson, Freckleton and Irish.
So I make it:
Five players released since the end of last season: Knutson, Davis, Marks, Martin, Joseph
Five new players signed: Taylor, Sullivan, Salter, Cook, Stibbins
Six players returning: Brown, Ikhinmwin, Freckleton, Lawson, Irish, Sturt
I'm not sure if there'll be any additions now.
