And what evidence do you have of that?
Putting Rush in charge, but adding KC as assistant is clever, a very astute man who knows the players and a club legend the fans will get behind and forgive a few failings (but not too many).
Yeah, real logic there. Put a coach inexperienced at this level with an assistant who has yet to get his badges into the coaching roles just as we are about to hit our three most difficult matches purely based on the fact that they are home boys. The fans will be just as impatient with those two as they would with any other coaching set up. In fact, if it goes Pete Tong then Keiron could have his godlike status well and truly destroyed.
Eammon should be scouring the globe with his chequebook for the best (and it pains me to say it) Maguire clone there is availiable. That guy took an average wigan side to the top, and we need a man like that
Why? I thought people wanted Saints to play a Warrington style of footie? You won't get that from a Maguire clone. I sincerely hope that isn't the direction our chairman is looking. I'd prefer a Smith style myself. If we are suddenly going to have this wonder team then I'd really like them to play like Warrington. I'd enjoy watching them then.
