In exactly the same way. I find it a rather bizarre argument
seeing as it happens in most clubs, if not all.

...which doesn't in itself make it the right thing to do of
course. The point is that some have arguably made successes of
it, while others haven't. It's mostly impossible to tell exactly
why a coach/DOR wasn't successful in a role when there are so
many other stakeholders and relationships involved in the
day-to-day coaching of a team. Or indeed how much of a part each
coach/assistant coach has played in the success of, say,
Saracens or Exeter in recent years. What percentage of that
success is McCall/Baxter and what percentage does each of their
staff claim? No one can really take a stab at those claims other
than those on the inside.
I'm not suggesting anyone here actually thinks they know
anything about the detail surrounding any of the relationships
in the Quins squad/staff - Blucher did use the word "assume"
after all. It's all guesswork.

Well yes, some new coaches go on to be very successful and some
don't.

Anyway, I like the cut of Neon Slag's jib!

So do I. My only initial concern was that his family might not
settle but it sounds like they love it so far.

Also very interesting to hear how he will be working
alongside/almost under NEv. I guess he is bringing very
particular specialisms to the fold at this stage while he
adjusts to the intricacies of Union vs League. Really feel like
he has the potential to be a key point of difference for us but
as is the case with any of these code switch appointments, only
time will tell...

The business analogy is accurate.
If you promote jack the lad, everyone’s mate and make them their
manger - they can’t separate their allegiances and are seen as
the ally of their mates by those who weren’t part of the circle.
He was a massive character as a player, you can easily see how
it would help fuel divisions in a dressing room we suspected -
and have had confirmed by players - was disfunctional,
Either way it doesn’t matter now - we’ve cleared them all out
and can move on.

Do you think we might be preparing for Nick Evans to exit
sometime soon? Wouldn't be the biggest surprise if he was
planning to return to NZ.
