    @Crucial said in Foster must go:

    Oh god I’ve just realised that Gatland is still floating around.

    If I was as evil as some other posters I could have started a thread titled “Gatland takes over”

    Not trolling, but I'd have him in the AB setup in a heartbeat. He worked wonders with the Lions; mixed record with Wales but they were competitive with a limited set of players. He's got international experience, and would be a safe(ish) pair of hands.

    Honest question: Foster vs Gatland, who ya got?

      Erratic performance v. a whinging git, the agony of choice. Are the Warriors playing that night?

        Boyd and Schmidt with Coventry and ? could be an interesting proposition.

        Where is O’Halloran?

        As an attack coach even our friend from the Canes might work.

          Super and Tests are not the same game.

          Who's got a better international record? (actually, that's a bloody goo dquestion - is Gatland's win percentage against T1 better than Foster's?)

          Frankly, I think Gatland is a much better coach than Foster. for one, he can coach rush defence - something no one in NZ seems to do consistently.

              he coached a scratch team to be super competitive with the ABs. That's impressive. He's clearly a good coach ... I don't get the animosity against him. Well, except for the Chiefs supporters 😛 But even then, good coaches can have bad years.

                    Yeah exactly, coached a team he had full selection over to a draw with a much better AB's, as well as a decent B team record, over a short period of time, for what...the same amount around about as matches played in a RWC if you reach the final?

                      Depends how you add it up. Maybe 18 months payout for Foster (NZRs fault) and 18 months for the new guy.
                      If Schmidt he’s already on a contract so the increase won’t be a full salary. Then there’s the assistants to pay out.

                      yeah fair point

                      @Crucial

                      It's semi-fair. The cost of the replacement guys shouldn't be counted as an additional cost, just any incremental cost above what the current guys are getting. Meaningless number if we count both in any assessment of what to do from here.

                        There’s nothing more that I hate than losing to the Boks.

                        Really???

                        I'd say they'd be the team that I can most tolerate losing to. Certainly preferable to England, Ireland, Australia, any other 6n team (though surprisingly I can deal with losses to the French ), Georgia, Samoa or Tonga, Spain or Portugal.

                          Depends how you add it up. Maybe 18 months payout for Foster (NZRs fault) and 18 months for the new guy.
                          If Schmidt he’s already on a contract so the increase won’t be a full salary. Then there’s the assistants to pay out.

                          yeah fair point

                          @Crucial

                          It's semi-fair. The cost of the replacement guys shouldn't be counted as an additional cost, just any incremental cost above what the current guys are getting. Meaningless number if we count both in any assessment of what to do from here.

                          Yes exactly, you don't calculate the cost of paying someone out by also including the cost of the new hire. That's nonsensical.

                          As for the assistants, quite frankly considering their resumes they shouldn't be on particularly high salaries anyway.

                            The other cost not being considered is the damage to Silver Lake’s equity stake from the reputational damage to the AB brand. I think that is more substantial than the cost of paying out the contracts of the incompetent incumbents. Don’t underestimate the pressure coming to bear there.

                                Just a question. That initial squad was for the Ireland series only wasn't it? When does the new squad get announced considering that they are meant to fly out soon?

                                had the same thought this morning

                                any change has to be now, or we wait until October.

                                If they decide to wait until October i can see him staying the other 12 months unless we lose absolutely everything.

                                And we won't lose everything because we will beat Argentina because they're shit, and we will beat Australia at Eden Park because we always do. Hell, we may even beat the Boks in one of those matches on the basis that Rassie & Co may just be charitable enough to play their B team again. And if all or any of that happens, there will, from NZR's perspective, be enough improvement and "learnings" to show that keeping Fozzie on for the 2023 RWC is the most prudent course of action.

                                    Oh god I’ve just realised that Gatland is still floating around.

                                    If I was as evil as some other posters I could have started a thread titled “Gatland takes over”

                                    Not trolling, but I'd have him in the AB setup in a heartbeat. He worked wonders with the Lions; mixed record with Wales but they were competitive with a limited set of players. He's got international experience, and would be a safe(ish) pair of hands.

                                    Honest question: Foster vs Gatland, who ya got?

                                    Which has the better Super Rugby coaching record?

                                    Super and Tests are not the same game.

                                    Who's got a better international record? (actually, that's a bloody goo dquestion - is Gatland's win percentage against T1 better than Foster's?)

                                    Frankly, I think Gatland is a much better coach than Foster. for one, he can coach rush defence - something no one in NZ seems to do consistently.

                                    Who’s going to do the Wazzaball hit ups?

                                    he coached a scratch team to be super competitive with the ABs. That's impressive. He's clearly a good coach ... I don't get the animosity against him. Well, except for the Chiefs supporters 😛 But even then, good coaches can have bad years.

                                    Kiwis don't like whingers. But he is a good coach

                                        Depends how you add it up. Maybe 18 months payout for Foster (NZRs fault) and 18 months for the new guy.
                                        If Schmidt he’s already on a contract so the increase won’t be a full salary. Then there’s the assistants to pay out.

                                        Newshub claimed that they've been informed by "sources" that sacking Foster would cost $3M to $4M.

                                        Depends how you add it up. Maybe 18 months payout for Foster (NZRs fault) and 18 months for the new guy.
                                        If Schmidt he’s already on a contract so the increase won’t be a full salary. Then there’s the assistants to pay out.

                                        yeah fair point

                                        @Crucial

                                        It's semi-fair. The cost of the replacement guys shouldn't be counted as an additional cost, just any incremental cost above what the current guys are getting. Meaningless number if we count both in any assessment of what to do from here.

                                        But surely the real cost, is, how well will the brand do over the next two years the way we are going?

                                          Oh god I’ve just realised that Gatland is still floating around.

                                          If I was as evil as some other posters I could have started a thread titled “Gatland takes over”

                                          Not trolling, but I'd have him in the AB setup in a heartbeat. He worked wonders with the Lions; mixed record with Wales but they were competitive with a limited set of players. He's got international experience, and would be a safe(ish) pair of hands.

                                          Honest question: Foster vs Gatland, who ya got?

                                          Which has the better Super Rugby coaching record?

                                          Super and Tests are not the same game.

                                          Who's got a better international record? (actually, that's a bloody goo dquestion - is Gatland's win percentage against T1 better than Foster's?)

                                          Frankly, I think Gatland is a much better coach than Foster. for one, he can coach rush defence - something no one in NZ seems to do consistently.

                                          Who’s going to do the Wazzaball hit ups?

                                          he coached a scratch team to be super competitive with the ABs. That's impressive. He's clearly a good coach ... I don't get the animosity against him. Well, except for the Chiefs supporters 😛 But even then, good coaches can have bad years.

                                          Kiwis don't like whingers.

                                          Changing my post because...well...
                                          But don't think Gatland could suddenly drop what he is doing...

                                          He is still contracted to the Chiefs until 2023 but has spoken about going overseas again.
