To have competition you must fear that MC or the club would replace you. With a win ratio of 19% and still here I think he knows he is safe. I believe these two were brought in to try to shore up Chester’s shortcomings but even they cannot work miracles. They have improved the defence a bit but nothing else.
I am sure I read that it was suggested at the first Zoom meeting with MC that they were looking to extend his contract, am I correct ?.

He held his cards close to his chest on the extension, but the cynic in me tells me he has already signed an extension, they are just looking for the right time to announce it.

Probably worth noting at this point, I don`t believe MC has ever sacked anyone contrary to popular belief on Agar and Webster I believe they both handed in there notices, even they recognised there was no way out before the club did.

If when Chester goes a new mans required from outside the present comfort zone.
Last and Poaching have been part of the relaxed atmosphere around the club and in my opinion it needs a totally fresh face with new ideas.
Its OK saying the club can not afford it but can they afford not to.
A new coach must be given a free hand to change the whole culture at the club without forming a frosty atmosphere with MC.

Totally wrong IMHO. How Last or Poching would run the club has nothing to do with how it is now, they are merely assistants.

When Peter Roe took over some years ago he was dreadful but his assistant McNally probably produced the finest team we have managed in SL. The two were good mates but one did the job completely differently to the other.

It's totally unfair to tar Last or Poching with the same brush, both could be rubbish or brilliant but neither should be judged on what CC has achieved whilst they have been here.

If last and Poaching are to be left in charge don't you think they are less likely to seek a budget for new players. They would certainly be the most appealing option for the owners because they already have an income.
Any new man coming in would probably ask at the start how much moneys available for recruitment.

Chester seems to hold the opposite opinion, I was listening to a Podcast he was on recently where he was talking to Craig Harrison and they were both saying how they don`t quite get the assistant coach replacing the head coach situation, I think they were talking specifically about the Warrington situation and fans kicking up a fuss calling for Briers to replace Price for the rest of the season, he was saying something along the lines of the coach is already there, there already coaching the team and getting there ideas across and he would expect very little to change in that situation. I don`t tend to agree with that 100% but I can see where he was coming from, I think it is wholly dependant on the situation, we don`t know how the coaching set up is run and how much influence either Poaching or Last have over the team and also you never know what kind of reaction you would get from either the coach himself and the team should that change be made, I just found it interesting to listen to Chester's view on that, maybe it was a reflection on our situation as it stands.

‘Man at risk of being replaced by assistant in claim that being replaced by assistant won’t make any difference shock’.

Briers has never been a first-team Coach, Last has.

From what I have heard this morning, Last already has a job lined up for next year and has told the club a couple of weeks ago.

If that's the case hv the club should release him from his contract Now.
Didn't think he would be a replacement for Chester should he go.
The club need to grow some, sort the Chester situation out by setting some targets asap

Hardly a surprise.

He came on the cheap and clearly stated it was part of a learning curve.

I don't see any issue, if anything it's to his benefit that he leaves Trinity on a good note.
