For me, the problem is with the players on the pitch, way too many average players and no leader.
No new coach could sort it any quicker or better than Nobby.
This argument has been put forward by many people this season, but to be honest we have now reached the stage where we don't even look like we are necessarily going to qualify for the top 8. Things can't get much worse. BN seems to have totally lost his way. The team is playing boring one-dimensional rugby and many players are underperforming.
The only possible mitigation for BN is that they aren't fit enough, which may not be BN's fault (not sure whether the backroom staff report in to him or IL?).
All in all though things are looking pretty desperate on all fronts. IL needs to get a grip - there's nothing to be lost at this stage by parting company with BN (other than some £, which may be what has prevented him going so far), since we don't look like qualifying for the play-offs at this rate...
