    @Machpants yeah seems to be alot of speculation form people with 'sources' about at the moment.

    Saw 2 opposing ones this morning, one saying there will be changes but wont involve Razor, then the other said Razor will be coach before the EOYT...both cited sources inside NZR

      The optics of Robertson not getting involved when the ABs are suffering is horrific. If true, this will not play well with people, myself included. Opportunities come up when they come up, it's not always the right time.

      Hell, it's a 12 month honeymoon I reckon, and a chance to start building for post-23

                Team gets paid massively over nation's economic level due to massive public interest - awesome!

                Team management gets mild shit for losing every game - are you trying to make us commit suicide? Not OK!

                  Only if NZR give him a gaurantee of RWC 2027, otherwise he is shooting himself in the foot. Knowing NZR they are not offering that. Cos they are fluffybunnies. But NZR are probably offering a contract til the RWC, with all sorts of clauses. After they fucked up Foster contract by not actually putting any performance clauses in it, they probably are now - thus Razor gets the shitty end of the stick and rightly says fuck you

                            I could see Joe running things for the remainder of the RC and then Razor taking over for the EOYT where he gets to pick his own squad.

                            Who really knows though, I am so gutted with how things are going it is beyond words really.

                              Agree on that. And I agree with what Julian Savea said there.
                              I think Ian Foster is still trying to the best of his abilities to get the best results for his entire squad amidst the huge criticism while he is still employed to be in charge. And maybe he is all ready to step aside after weathering the flak while a plan B is put in place?
                              This contrasts with the angst that a handful of supposed fans are spreading with harsh attacks through online media. The players and coaches have families too who no doubt get told about it all even if they can shut it out for themselves.
                              I just hope that the players and coaches beyond the next test are not already badly impacted by the most extreme criticism.
                              It seems I am the outlier on TSF with this attitude. But I do believe that sports people need a positive support base around them to perform at their best for long periods in a high pressure high performance environment. I also think they know where they have been falling short and are motivated to do something about it through the pride and passion that got them that far.
                              I left my role in another sport because of ongoing bullying and undermining of HP coaches. I saw the sad impact on the health and lives of people involved and could not continue with it unchecked.
                              I read the fern to be better informed and to get a range of perspectives. What I do wonder about is what the less regular posters think. Is everybody so angry they need to vent harshly and regularly on individuals? There is not much material for those under pressure to be inspired by and that is a shame...

                                But fair enough too, he is well in his rights to tell NZR to foxtrot oscar until after this year and/or RWC cycle

                                The optics of Robertson not getting involved when the ABs are suffering is horrific. If true, this will not play well with people, myself included. Opportunities come up when they come up, it's not always the right time.

                                Hell, it's a 12 month honeymoon I reckon, and a chance to start building for post-23

                                Only if NZR give him a gaurantee of RWC 2027, otherwise he is shooting himself in the foot. Knowing NZR they are not offering that. Cos they are fluffybunnies. But NZR are probably offering a contract til the RWC, with all sorts of clauses. After they fucked up Foster contract by not actually putting any performance clauses in it, they probably are now - thus Razor gets the shitty end of the stick and rightly says fuck you

                                There's no way NZR should be offering Robertson a contract through to 2027, that would be madness given Robertson's lack of experience coaching at test level. I'm happy for him to take over now (if Schmidt doesn't want it), and be given until 2025 to prove himself. That's more than enough time to prove his worth.

                                  Let’s wait. There has been zero comment from the man himself and lots of speculation

                                    My fear is that Robinson has already been talking to the RFU and will be coaching England after 2023. But lets wait until we actually know something.

                                        Agree on that. And I agree with what Julian Savea said there.
                                        I think Ian Foster is still trying to the best of his abilities to get the best results for his entire squad amidst the huge criticism while he is still employed to be in charge. And maybe he is all ready to step aside after weathering the flak while a plan B is put in place?
                                        This contrasts with the angst that a handful of supposed fans are spreading with harsh attacks through online media. The players and coaches have families too who no doubt get told about it all even if they can shut it out for themselves.
                                        I just hope that the players and coaches beyond the next test are not already badly impacted by the most extreme criticism.
                                        It seems I am the outlier on TSF with this attitude. But I do believe that sports people need a positive support base around them to perform at their best for long periods in a high pressure high performance environment. I also think they know where they have been falling short and are motivated to do something about it through the pride and passion that got them that far.
                                        I left my role in another sport because of ongoing bullying and undermining of HP coaches. I saw the sad impact on the health and lives of people involved and could not continue with it unchecked.
                                        I read the fern to be better informed and to get a range of perspectives. What I do wonder about is what the less regular posters think. Is everybody so angry they need to vent harshly and regularly on individuals? There is not much material for those under pressure to be inspired by and that is a shame...

                                          Yep, if he really wants the job so much he will take it when it’s available not when it suits him best. He will basically get a 12 month free pass ( @Victor-Meldrew ) and 5 year appointment overall at this stage, so what’s the big deal?
