When should Foster go?

Why is before 2020 not an option?
This year really has bought it all.
COVID killing thousands is one thing, throw in Foster as AB coach... fuck.

I voted now but I have zero faith he will be gone before the world cup, let alone at the end of his contract. Why is it that the entire rugby public could see this was a bad appointment but they went ahead? Most people were annoyed at the time, now they are justified.

Trust the process??

Already looking ropy this season; let him take the flak and someone can take over next year with a full season to build

Has an incumbent AB coach ever been fired before his contract ran out? Might be a season of firsts...

Does Mark Robinson have the ability to do what needs to be done. Will be interesting to see....

We can only dream.

My guess is no.

I hope he's a better CEO than AB

Only possible if there is a process to follow.
Sadly in this case there doesn’t appear to be one.

Did anybody see the votes for ABs coach? Recount now!

Maybe I’m a just a glutton for punishment but I went for the option “till the end of his contract”.
Sometimes you need to burn everything down in order to rebuild. We will see emerging players come through a lot faster in an environment where they are struggling for answers.
But I’d also be happy if Foster resigned today.

@canefan nothing so far suggests he is very good at CEOing.
I say end of the season, but I expect he will see out his contract because he wont step down, NZR wont terminate him, despite the hammering our 'brand' is suffering right now.

Definitely not the NZRFUs style to fire an old boy

Yep, for the NZRU it’s a dilemma between damage to the brand vs the NZRU daring to ever admit that they were wrong about something.
Their misplaced pride in their “process” will win out and we’ll be stuck with Foster for at least the duration of his contract. Unfortunately.

You're probably right, and that is so depressing.
My wife commented after we lost:
"You said this would happen when they appointed him"Me: "Yep about as difficult as predicting the sun coming up in the morning"
I don't often get credit from her about being right.
As @tim said, I'm not even angry just tired. It was so predictable.
We do the same thing every time and expect different results. We all know the word for that...
