Quote batleyrhino="batleyrhino"what if the new coach is already employed and therefore currently unavailable?'"
I honestly don't think it matters.
I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but if McDermott isnt the choice for next season, he needs to go now, even if we cant get who we want in immediately.
As soon as the decision is made that McDermott is going, he needs to go. It isnt the best thing for the team, or fair on McDermott for us to keep him in a position which he wont keep.
I would rather we dropped him and brough in a stop-gap than keep in him a position we dont think he is suitable for.
