It’s a bit of an impossible appointment; the culture within the club and the relationship the owners and TK will crave with the new coach points firmly at a former/current player. However the demand for success and trophies points firmly at an experienced coach and less of a gamble like a Chermonaz, Neilson, Adey, Weber type character (I don’t mean specifically those).
Lord has made himself almost irreplaceable. Fan favourite player, complete package as a player, player coach, built a team from scratch, played and coached with emotion and understood the fans, club and close to the ownership. But, most importantly, he delivered success by the bucketload and the best coach we ever had. Imagine taking over the reigns from that.
