Still think Luke Wiiliams myself.
Should find out tomorrow, Thursday is a popular day for announcing new managers/head coaches.
Watching brief for Saturday.
Just to look at this from a different angle -
Previous Manager had to deal with a horrendous injury crisis, Rolls and the medical team blamed by just about everybody.
NP brings in his own "elite" medical team, injury pile up is at least as bad if not worse than before but not their fault.
Truth somewhere in the middle would be my guess.
Think they have had longer to look around as it has been obvious that NP was going, either soon or for sure at the end of the season.
There was no "we will give him time to turn it around" thinking. (Holden !).
They at least would have been sounding people out for the Summer, the issue now maybe "fast tracking" it ?
They would have checked on Williams (or another) interest before pulling the trigger on Pearson.
I agree they were going to get rid asap but a quick phone call to confirm basic interest, details of job description and pay etc is all they would need with someone they know.
Still think the "plan" was/is Luke Williams, delay maybe linked to getting him out of his current job.
He ticks all of the boxes they described I think.
King may still have coaching hopes.
It does seem he was the one that was questioned "from above" about being in the team instead of a youngster, so maybe an issue there that means he leaves ?
Some colleges and universities but not high schools, which is the key issue if it is to grow as a sport.
