I wonder what changes he will make in his coaching team, if any? This makes up for the sudden departure of Cockers, who I liked as well, and Blair will know all the players well and will hit the ground running.

We need a forwards coach I think. Lawrie is a bit inexperienced for my tastes.
I am a bit concerned, he has been groomed for this role obviously but I hope they went through a thorough interview process still.

Don't think an interview will make the slightest bit of difference, they tend to be used to confirm existing views and prejudices anyway. More of an anointment than a selection process given the timescales and urgency involved and to be honest that's fine by me. Succession planning.
