@Windows97 said in Foster, Robertson etc:
Are we all to believe that "the process" hasn't started?
The debacle in SA by the NZRU was exactly that - a debacle. Highly unsettling for Foster yet he survived, probably raised Robertson's expectations only to dash them, thoroughly confused in NZ public.
This is a very odd way of prioritizing the welfare and needs of all they are responsible for...
They had already decided to sack Foster in August due to his poor inconsistent record over many years yet a single win caused them to be so reactionary they retracted Robertson's contract offer and continued with Foster.
Apparently it was all set to be announced before they backtracked after the SA game, they were so deep the press releases were already written and photoshoots with Razor's family already organized.
It's a wonder Robertson's even still here and didn't head overseas straight away.

Backtracked after a Player meeting in Mark Robinsons room in SA.

So you don't really know then...

@Victor-Meldrew exactly...all still rumour getting reported as fact
-
I think that the only thing that we really can take as true is that Razor was asked if he would be willing to take the job if Foster was let go.
No doubt he said yes but the rest didn't happen.
That is way different to implying that it was a done deal all bar the signatures and NZR pulled away. -

It's not a rumour, it's from people who work at NZR.
-
@kiwi_expat ...pretty sure that's what a rumor is...example....someone in NZR said that NZR offered the job to eddie jones...see...its easy
for it not to be a rumor razor or Mark Robinson would have to give a first hand account publicly

A lot of rumours floating around,You here so much, even from people close to the people involved, but they are so contradicting who would know what is true and isn't true.

@Kiwiwomble said in Foster, Robertson etc:
@Chris the example @Crucial gave seems the most believable, NZR confirm with their employee that he is available to step in if required.....and everything else spirals from there
Maybe,But who would really Know only a handful of people involved.
I think it went a bit further than that so I have heard.But again that is from the perspective from people I have spoken to who are close to the action.
Depends which side you are on probably. -

In other words, unsubstantiated bollocks.

Depends which side you are on probably.No. It depends on rumour mills and 'twisting' of facts. Not necessarily with bad intention.
Let's say he was asked the question but then staff were asked to prepare a contract to be ready. That would easily end up with 'staff' interpreting this as a done deal that didn't go ahead even if the intention from management was to be ready to move quickly should Foster get ditched or resign.
Razor will have also confided in friends and colleagues as well as his Saders employers and that opens up even more room for interpretation. Being 'offered the job' is the phrase rather than 'offered the job IF it becomes available'. Both are true statements but one adds key detail. -

Being 'offered the job' is the phrase rather than 'offered the job IF it becomes available'. Both are true statements but one adds key detail.I don't disagree but what I mean by which side you are on,It depends what you believe and maybe add to or take way to make it sound better or worse.
Statements can become rumours good or bad depending who gets hold of the rumours. -

There is only one truth. I don't buy into this current strangeness of 'alternative facts' or 'my truth'.

Seems you're upset about NZR exposed for lack of integrity & denial is your coping mechanism.

I don't think you can make a call of 'lack of integrity' without backing it up with more than hearsay. That's only fair isn't it? Otherwise the lack of integrity lands on the accuser.

Nah. I'm calling gossip and hearsay being presented as fact for what it is - unsubstantiated bollocks
