Well, this should please many of our regular posters....
Being a SW critic at times I thought I would be happier than I am. Maybe it’s how we’ve been going for the past few weeks or where we are in the league and cup but I’m genuinely shocked about this. Given who we have leaving and who is yet to leave I’m shocked at the timing of it and it does make me wonder what is going on behind closed doors at the club.
That being said I do think it
may well be for the best. A fresh coach with new ideas coming in and who hopefully will reinvigorate George Williams. The interesting part for me now is with SW going and a yet to be announced Head Coach incoming - who makes the signings we do evidently need? And even more interesting,
if SW, IL and KR knew he was going to resign, who sanctioned the Hardaker deal? It makes sense as a SW signing but now he’s leaving it doesn’t make much sense to me given we don’t know who the new coach is or his style of play.
Another worry for me is we’ve had the Tomkins leaving news, the Bateman and Sutton leaving news is rapidly approaching - who next? Lockers? I said it on another thread prior to this news breaking that we need some huge signings and I think they’re more prevalent now given one of those signings includes a new Head Coach.
