Eh?

If there are any obstructions, given that they have sanctioned the change, that they must be got rid of, there is no half way house. Don't blame the work force if the management cannot put in place the right structures to see them perform and achieve the results required. the buck stops with the management and if it cannot do the job get rid, no matter how much they may consider themselves part of the family
Are you against the new regime and want Cockers out. Or the other way round? I'm not sure reading the above.
The sad news of Anthony Foley's passing caused me to look back at the 2002 HC winning team. I just wanted to recall a good day when I watched the big man play, in glorious company, and had a happy day amongst all the sadness.
The Munster team contained one Aussie in the 22, The Leicester team comprised an Irishman, A Samoan, and Aussie, a South African and a New Zealander. The Balance were Englishmen, Jamie Hamilton was credited as English.... and bar two, I believe, were current or future internationals.

You say Deans did a good job until O'Connor. Could he not handle this one player? That's pretty poor is it not?
What experience of English Premiership Rugby does Deans have?
I may be Cockerill. I may not be.
I'm sure that a top level coach who has coached international sides and top level club rugby in Australia and elsewhere is bound to need several years of being told how to do it in the Leicester way!
Yes, as Loffreda discovered club and international coaching is not the same - you don't have to juggle salaries to put your side together - and you probably don't have a host of senior players and junior coaches undermining your place because they think they think they should have got the job or their status in the team might be undermined.
I'm saying Cockers gets slated for a reason. I don't want Baxter
Deans is reported to want a new challenge out of Japan. Cheque book out and get him. Even McCaw and Carter worship him
Get the cheque book and get Cockers out and Deans in. I will lob in 20 quid, will the club get a just giving page going?
Deans has said that this rumour is rubbish, just newspaper scuttlebutt. His contract with Panasonic is for another two or three years after which he wants to go back to New Zealand.
I am neither clever enough to understand nor stupid enough to play this game
