    My choice would be somebody like Richard Wood. Peltier maybe, but Woods history and legacy at the club would at least give us some battling edge.

    I know it's a gamble but I doubt we have a queue of established managers waiting to step in.

    People will naturally ask "what has Wood ever done as a manager?" but the same questions were no doubt asked about Mark Robins and Paul Warne when they were first handed the managers job. Neither had managed before and were promoted from within. I'd say they are 2 of our best managers of the past 20 years or so. What they lacked in managerial experience at the time of appoinment was counterbalanced by the fact players would seemingly run through brick walls for them.

    This is what we need at RUFC and what we thought Evans would bring. But his methods are dated, the screaming "mad dog" style of management just does not resonate with the players of today.

    So to sum up, Wood until the end of the season, see how it goes. If it goes well, extend it. Pelts could have a role too

    Robins and Warne are quite clearly intelligent individuals. Whilst Wood is a icon, I really doubt he has got the capacity to be a manager. To be honest, I fear TS pulling the trigger because I suspect he has no idea what/who to bring in next. That said, I would still stick with SE, let him sort it out.

    So how does S/E iyo sort it out when players clearly don’t want to play for him
