Quote christopher="christopher"Clearly not that reliable
Blease may want to assess everything before making a decision, and as much as it may anger some fans that’s probably the best thing. Starting a job on Monday and sacking people doesn’t look like any in depth analysis has gone on.'"
That was my first reading of the Blease appointment.
Sacking RS on day 1 would imply Blease had made up his mind based on a largely external picture, perhaps embellished by insights from GH and the two ex-Salford players in the camp. Alternatively, it might imply that GH had already made the decision for Blease, which begs the question why GH doesn't just fire Rohan anyway. If the latter happens, it would arguably create more turmoil and make the job of Blease harder in the short-term, IMO.
While the Hull game was a major disappointment, and may be enough to trigger the departure of RS irrespective of further investigation, I suspect that Blease will want to be thorough in appraising Rohan's contributions and deficiencies, if only that it gives Blease a better understanding of what is needed to turn things around - whether this is playing staff, coaching staff, or wider environmental factors, or most likely, a combination of all these things.
