Interesting one, your performances seem to have gone backwards on the field, but he has blooded a lot of youngsters, so that bodes well for the future.

Surely it can only be a one year deal.

Great news!

yes in fact that is great news i for one am happy that kr have given sandercock a new deal and not mcbannana, if we look yes he had to blood a lot of young players quicker than he may have wanted, and he had to sign players who kr could afford. but we are 1 point away from top 8.
and he has not had a fully fit 17 to choose all season so looking at it this way i am very happy. look at leeds when sinfield and burrows were coming through the ranks leeds had a torrid time were a few seasons were a nightmare but they kept with the youth and now look at them. i am not saying these young lads are to be the next sinfield ect. just if we bide out time with them they could turn out to be awesome players. so a big congrats to sandercock and now i hope the board help him buy getting rid of ohara and gleeson freeing some cash and getting some more players in

Excellent news.

Agent Sandycock must have said he would work with a Sal Cap of just 1 million rather than 1.5 million. He will work with the youngsters. LOL.

Good on ya Hudge LOL

Agar as director of Rugby would be the icing

There is no new buyer surely ?

GO AWAY FOOL

Im not dissing the story totally but can I remind folk its a HDM story ?

Good news to me, but why a year? if he is to set up a production line of young local talent (one of the reasons he was brought in in the first place) he will nedd five years at a minimum an extra 365 days is not long term planing or stability is it?

I think he will end up on a rolling contract. Give him five years now and say he falls out with NH or any new owner in the space of the first 12 months. That would be a hefty pay off to cover the rest of his contract.

Cracking news for me. I really like Sandercock. Where blooding loads of youngsters and we'll reap the benefits of that in the seasons to come. We are a good attacking side and if he can get close to a full strength side out which up to now he's failed to do then I think where a very good side in the making.

That is one point of view, but if we think that way it hardly shows our faith in him or our ability to make sound descisions, it also wont help with recruitment if players know the coach could be gone before their career starts off, a one year rolling contract is a bit better but not much, would you join a job where your new boss could be gone before you qualify for sick pay? at least it would make you think twice & look else where.

3 years should be enough time to bring the youth through.

Situation of circumstance, given the financial situation. Also, according to a few on this forum, today is the day a new investor is getting announced. It would seem strange that your coach only gets another 12 months if a 3rd party is investing.

Any idea what time the investor is being announced?

Great news!
