which is where my concerns are not starting to get even worse, fair enough we're stuck with Fubar for the next few games, but I don't want him anywhere near recruitment.

It's a good point that's why I'd tell him we'd announce it within a time frame, a month, and he'd be in the front seat depending how the results go.

I wouldn't let him push us into a decision, if he didn't want to fair enough.

Even worse, Rule and Kath could do it.

I guess we're back to discussions we were having earlier, who actually does what?

silly me, we're getting Cronk next year, aren't we, even if we finish bottom of SL!

Cronks nailed on, he's just got to tell Ricky Stuart and Tim Sheens he won't be available for rep selection, tell Craig Bellemy he wants the last two years of his contract ripping up, tell his bank manager he's halfing his weekly deposits and tell his lass their moving from Melbourne to Hull.

Should be easy.

No matter how much experience you have in any sport, you will always be learning. If you think you've learned enough, you're never going to be the best.

I say it, because although I agree Noble's record speaks for itself, I'm not sure, based purely on what little I know of our clubs inner sanctum, things would run very smoothly between him and those who wield power.
Given that he doesn't strike me as a 'yes' man,and as others have said, our recruitment and retention is crucial for next year, I believe it could cause more problems than it solves.
If on the other hand, he is allowed to stamp his mark, then yes, I would like to see him given a shot at it.

Personally I'd sooner we got Shawn the Sheep, or is he our current no 7?

I'd rather have Clive Woodward, strategically out-thinks his opponents, ensures the highest order of physical training is encorporated and uses mental strength as a tool just as much as the physical. He'd have our game to a tee within a short space of time and being connected at the highest level would be able to enhance our club immeasureably.
He wouldn't come, even if we could scrape together the huge fee but it would be a massive leap for us and RL in general if he did.

he was a disaster at Southampton FC !

So was Harry Redknapp and he's doing alright now..

that's until he ends up in the nick.............. 3.88232421875:5
