I'd be quite happy if he took us to league leaders trophy and a challenge cup final before it 'tailed off'.

But also, I wonder where the naysayers are on this one. Why is it such a travesty that Carter didn't interview anyone for Applegarth's appointment (even though he'd only done it a year earlier with Poching) but it's OK to just give the job to Powell?
Double standards me thinks.

It should be advertised and interviews should be done with whoever applies.
While Powell resume is decent and he’s a big step up from Applegarth he may not have a personality that the Owners can work with.

That said, you’re surely not comparing Applegarth with Powell are you?
If you simply HAD to make a coaching appointment without advertising or interviewing with MA & DP as the only candidates I know which I’d be appointing

I'm sure it's been said that the (new) owners have talked to Powell.....

I'm not saying it's the wrong decision. His cv is better than anyone I can think of thats available in UKbut some said that Carter made a mistake not interviewing on Mash's appointment but those people seem to not be bothered with this.
Which makes me think its not the process they don't like, just the coach.

How do you know he hasn’t interviewed others?

Absolutely right......but not to have a review of how they look. You can go on other sites for that I'm sure.

You mean like Sheridan's OnlyFans site?

Wait till Matthew Ellis sits in the hot seat.

After all the coaches we had since Kear, Powell is in a different league.

Again, no one has said “just give it to Powell”. But out of him and Applegarth, I think most would go for DP.

Re: Rumours thread : Thu Sep 21, 2023 5:35 pm  

I can't think of a better appointment than Powell. I never thought for a minute we'd have a chance of getting him. I can't wait for the new season now.
