Foster, Robertson etc

@nostrildamus said in Foster must go:
Contract only to RWC. Only 13 + months of pain.
To the end of '22 only. Then a full review to see what the best way forward is. Maybe extend to RWC23, accept it wasn't just the coaching and plan for the next 4 years.
And anyway right now the problem is more: what if the new coach is as ineffective as Foster?
IMHO there is only one NZ coach at that level not called Mark and he is the current AB coach (and his assistants).
You may be right. In which case there's zero issue in demanding a significant improvement and giving the guy 6 or 9 Tests to prove he's better. We'd be paying more than tiddlywinks for a coach who, unlike Foster, has a proven track record of winning so there's really no excuse.

So 6pm in NZ and still nothing from NZR?
Their media operation is world-class though

@Frank said in Foster must go:
There is basically not a single good argument for Foster staying.
Fuckin none.There might be if neither Razor or Joe want to pick up a dirty nappy.
Which does make you wonder why the likes of Jamie Joseph were a bit less than keen.

Not sure what you are expecting, unless they’ve changed team naming’s to Monday and no one told us.
When’s the RC squad named?
If it’s about the future of the coach, I’m certainly not expecting anything new today. In terms of media cycle today is the ‘wash up from the game’ day.

Newshub claimed that they've been informed by "sources" that sacking Foster would cost $3M to $4M.
That’s classic spin right there.

Foster then would seem to be far better at defining contract terms than coaching the ABs.

SENZ said Thursday today.
Why, as a fan, you may want to know when things are happening is weird. Like, don't you just cre about memes on twitter?

for a 16 month early termination? seems legit...

I'd say more money than NZR were offering, or did he play in the same team as Robinson and didn't want him as a boss?
If NZR have to pay a guy, supposedly 3 or 4 times his annual salary for sacking him in a job that is all about performance and results and this team is achieving neither, then they need to look at the hiring process and thier contracts.

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. -

They don’t. That will be total cost. Pay out old guys. Pay new guys
The bit the media miss is that they have to pay someone anyway.
Even if they ignore the new costs it’s what ? Three maybe four salaries for 16 months. Sounds about right -
@chimoaus said in Foster must go:
Maybe this is just a big ruse on Fosters part to get a big payout without having to do the work. Getting fat was all part of the plan.
He has a contract. If I had a contract and it was cancelled I would expect it to be paid out unless there were clauses that said otherwise. No need to defame the guy by inference that he is holding them over the fire.
