I reckon we'd be better off leaving Marshall in charge of coaching for now and getting a Director of Rugby and give them carte blanche to restructure the whole club without any interference from our CEO or any of the board members - then we may actually attract someone of Shaun Wayne's reputation in the game, rather than just another coach who fancies a handsome payday for 18 months.

Chambers is in charge I think.

I'd love it if we could get Holbrook or Wayne, but I just don't see them wanting to come.

We're either going to have to look a bit lower on the ladder or take a punt on an Aussie, though Monas wouldn't be a bad choice imo.

It's been mentioned somewhere that Middleton is off to Aus. If there's a time when we really could do with throwing some money around, it's at a new coach. Holbrook would potentially be our best signing since Briers. Unfortunately I just can't see it happening though.

BTW, anyone know which players went to ibiza? Very poor timing given our results and looking a very unwise decision given today's performance .

Alex Murphy. The ultimate legend.

You might think he's too old at 84, but if Joe Biden gets re-elected he'll be 86 by the end of his Presidential term. At least we wouldn't be trusting Murph with the nuclear codes.

Is Mike Bassett still England manager.

Sam Allardyce is free.

There was a really good episode of Eddie and Stevo's podcast with Briers where he was asked about his future as a coach and he said his interest was in coaching and development of young players, he didn't fancy being a head coach. He may have changed his mind but its worth noting.

Well another thing is it’s Middleton flying out to Aus and not Fitzpatrick. Do you think that is role is now fully focused on whizzy rascal.

Yeh could be the perfect fit, just kick it to King.

Middleton flying out to Aus, wonder how many he will speaking to.
