It's may be coincidence but I note there hasn't been anything in any of the club's press releases which mention Sinfield since the departure of Eastmond, so coming up to a month now.
It would be a very poor time for Sinfield to be trying to leave, right in the middle of the recruitment season for next year. Any time other than May/June/July would be better but right now, if true, it's very unhelpful for 2022 planning.
Overall though I stand by the point that, in this role, Sinfield would not be a particularly catastrophic loss.
It would depend on when he actually goes - it might just be an agreement to join Leicester after season end or something, who knows.
I haven't personally agreed with a few of our recruitment decisions under Kev/Agar, but I do think the club in general is looking much more like it now and they've done a great job turning it all around and pointing in the right direction.
In terms of future successes, well it's partly good management of course but there's some luck in there too. When the Goldens came through we just happened to have a wave of close-to-international-class players develop at the same time. We might be seeing something similar now or we might not - but the availability of the raw talent is never in the club's control. It can only work with what it can find.
I really don't know enough about it other than that but I hope Kev stays with the club in some capacity. I have no doubt there will be personalities in the background: the Kev/Agar/Hetherington mix. Strong opinions in there and it's never easy to blend.
