I think he would have if Covid hadn't hit home.

I'm still hopefully we will have a new coach in place for next season.

I understand the difference Covid has made, however what does AP do?
Should he see out the season with Last now there's no threat of relegation but jeopardise future investment from fans and sponsors alike should our current form and performances continue or does he go for a new coach now, take on an extra salary but possibly rejuvenate the club and fans.

I don't see how we have to go overseas for recruitment when we have Watson. Ward or Ford here.
I'd be happy to have any of them at our club.

Or how about, we swap Tony Smith, let Lasty do his apprenticeship as head coach at a club we’re just fling it about will do, and TS gets back coaching a team with a chance of winning the GF. Then we’ll evaluate in 2021.

Tony Smith would be ideal for our club but can you imagine the rift then between Pearson and Hudge
If you look at what he is doing at HKR with some very average players and once they learn to defend for 80 mins they will become a threat to all teams in S/L.
One of the best attacking teams to watch

Watson is on a long term contract at Salford, Ward likes being in London and in any case is not a proven SL coach after only one year and Ford is happy in Union. What makes you think any of them would come to you?

First big money offer for Watson and he's out of Salford in a flash.

Would an Aussie even get a visa, or want to travel?

I'm not saying they would, just who I'd like to see, thus forgoing an expensive overseas coaching appointment.
How do you know Ward likes London, who's to say Watson wouldn't fancy a new challenge, irrespective of contract length and Ford might miss League.
No one knows for sure any of their situations so all we can do is speculate.
