Kear and Kelly - both people who have been royally shafted by previous regimes; times like this, you learn the lesson of not burning bridges...

Personally, I don't think that Kear is the answer any more - but if Webster is the question, he's probably enough to scrape a pass mark.

There's only one man can turn this pigs ear into a silk purse. John Harbin.

The problem is, people keep picking names that already have a job.
That's expensive in all directions.

It would be quicker to get either an unknown from overseas that has been recommended or an old head from over here who hasn't got a job.

I could see us getting a temporary old head to advise Webster...which I don't think would be popular and is a risk but it's cheaper and would simply be judged on results.
Ellery or Reilly is fine with me. 4 week consultancy

Also gives us time to get someone else while they are here.

So ideally we needs someone at a lose end. Noble, Harrison(?) anymore notable names?

Harrison is Jimmy Lowes' assistant at Bradford. Noble is doing some part time consultancy work at London til the end of the season i think but might be interested.

Struggling with other names. Cummins has been mentioned but he has a 12 month offer from Leeds RU on the table starting shortly so that would have to be a longer offer. Cost restraints meas they'll probably have to be British based. The current championship coach of the year has today left his job.....

Jesus I didn't know that, how demeaning for Harrison to be an assistant to him.

To be fair he seems quite happy out of the limelight for now. And as things stands there is every chance that they will be a fulltime team next year and us not so we might struggle to attract him.

Paul Cooke is available

I don't think he would be that popular, especially after his short spell at BV as a player.
