Massive exodus of players, reason? Premier League or new coach?
Heard they only got one application for Head Coach, so hard to blame anyone, maybe a sign of the times with the more highly credentialled coaches opting for the Premier League.
The Jack Pudney one is interesting, the Club went out of their way to help him, "gifted" him an A Grade game when he had not bowled for months with a back injury, then he treats them like this.
Very common now for players like Jack to demand higher grades or they will leave, the Club is always bigger than the individual, but the last couple of years they have certainly made several "selections" due to this reason. Hopefully this is the last straw and in future they are told to perform or rack off!
I'm sure WT are extremely dissapointed in Jack departure. He is a talented kid, which they have put a lot of time into. I guess the pressure is on him now to perform in the Agrade, which he really hasn't so far, or he'll be in the 2s at the bays pretty quickly. The premier league effect will be felt at all clubs in the next few season.
