Now DoC. Although they say he will remain as 1st team coach does this move really open up a vacancy for a 1st team coach?

Time to get RTD on board.

Is there really any point in having a cricket committee at this stage? Seems to me like having a DoC effectively makes them redundant. By the sounds of the rumours flying around on here over the past few days, that viewpoint seems to be shared...

I remember the days when the cricket committee consisted of the club secretary (P Edwards) first team and second team captains. Generally worked better than committees chock full of ex players (e.g. Yorkshire CCC).

 OK having a DoC for the club, with a dedicated coach has interims for the teams within would be acceptable.
Being a coach for any of the teams must be a full time positions surely.
 Find it impossible how a DoC can be engaged with all forms AND take the responsibility of the running  first team has their overall concern, and who does they turn to when results are not favourable ?
 Impossible job for individual whoever they are .
 Or another cost cutting exercise.

Unlikely. He's just taken on a new role as an assistant coach for the India white-ball squad.

I imagine that pays a smidge more than whatever little ol' ECCC might be able to offer.

Sounds like Yorkshire are making a play for him, offering essentially the same job as he has here.

Choosing to work for Colin Graves over us would tell us everything we need to know regarding where he sees our future on and off the pitch. And it won't be bright...

Or he's getting offered more money up there, he fancies a move back up north or he has an emotional connection to his home county team.  Or all three.

The first is a given, his being Yorkshireman: hang on, that applies to all three points!

Yorkshire are arguably even more skint than us. Not for much longer mind, as they are actually embracing the prospect of private investment.

Another point I failed to mention, the prospect of a big points deduction. 'Get out while you can' comes to mind.

Sounds plausible, but what is the source for this story?
