The club can't win with the 'excited' bunch. He stays and we are wasting a wage. He goes and the club had acted hastily. Players as PB is using to his/her advantage, is totally different and they know it! See Miller last season as exhibit 1. There are many examples to smack the club with, this isn't one and by using it as so, you ate losing your argument. The clubs a mess, an intelligent person picks the right fight!

What’s your point?
Would it have been better if the club had said ‘that’s fine go next season we’ll look after you till then!’
What exact did you want the club to say?

The nonsense part is that he was supposed to start in 2024 but all of a sudden Fev suddenly had the capacity to bring him in early, and that despite Trinity knowing, didn't have any time to prepare for his leaving.

The club is a mess and a coach jumping ship with immediate effect is a symptom of the mess.

There is no evidence of anything you are saying Egg. You are just making things up to fit your conclusion.

Other than Fev somehow managed to instantly find the money to appoint him immediately instead of in 2024 as had been initially planned and agreed....

Which seems more plausible:
a coach tells the current club that he is leaving with immediate effect to take up a new post in a club which has funded it leaving the existing club without a plan to replace him

Or the coach tells his current club that he is leaving at the end of the season and they instead dismiss him immediately, and then wait 24 hours before announcing that he had gone but that they hadn't got a plan to replace him, and that somehow the club he was going to also managed to fund his new post immediately and also announce it.

I know you like to look at everything through your rose tinted glasses, but objectively, Trinity have been caught out by something and then flailed around for a day before trying to pretend it was all their doing in the first place.

If you read yesterday's announcement from Featherstone it is clear that they had a vision of him coming into them this season as it talks a lot about him supporting them in their drive for promotion

You can draw whatever conclusion you like. I'm confident it happened exactly like the press release said.
Mine is based on evidence. Yours is based in a conspiracy theory.

Big question is, who comes in as replacement?

I'll admit I don't know who else is on the coaching staff, I think Pitts is the academy coach?

Probably Matt Nicholson, the head of youth, will step up.

Strange how only a month or so ago Mark Cambell their chairman warned that if crowds didn’t improve he would pull funding and also had a dig at fans for drinking in a local pub instead of the ground and that money generated doesn’t come close to matching their wage bill
