PS: Buckley did offer to allow MM to continue to coach but Hierarchy said no.

He's very bad at politics. Even at the time, everyone said he was on a hiding to nothing taking the role once we'd saluted in 2010 - for obvious reasons. He needed to let Malty coach us out of the 8 and announce the rebuild as he took over. None of this fart-arsing around on the way to the well.

Yes, NB was definitely on a hiding to nothing. If TPM's source is correct, that does seem to be more evidence of muddled thinking on the part of Eddie (and Pert).

On apprenticeships, a stint outside the club may have been a better bet in terms of him actually learning anything.
