Heared from someone well within this. Furner had said he wanted to clear the deadwood out and was told there is no more money to work with. This squad is all there is work with it.
We are in really bad shape
Furner probably wanted to clear out certain players immediately and dispassionately, golden generation or not. He was here to oversee the changing of the guard (finally) and bringing the next gen in.
This probably led to the tale of the infamous transfer list circulating with Cuthbo, Parcell etc on and more than likely unsettled some others in the squad who Sinfield is close to and rather than letting Furner crack on with clearing them out weve gone down the route of letting them have a swansong season on their own terms.
Furner now under pressure to improve some bad results has turned round and probably gone down the route of "ive gone as far as I can with what I have, the squad needs breaking up, Kev not willing to pull the trigger has backed him into a corner and off Furner goes.
