Timing just doesn’t sit right for me.

If it was club decision, why not earlier - why keep him for half a season rather than a new CEO coming in with 6 months left, just as player negotiations start

Add to that the relegation negotiations, the CVC offer around 6 nations, the relationship with Premiership Rugby just as structure changing.

Maybe it’s all part of a plan - hope so.

Ok so for those who doubt this could be bad for the club:

1 you think it was the club’s choice?

2 you think it’s a good time given the CVC cash and negotiation to change the CEO?

3 you think given he was leading the new stadium plan that it’s good timing?

4 why do we think he’s leaving?
- can’t get plans through
- isn’t getting finances to work
- not happy with board?

Not an Ellis backer or hater, just doesn’t feel like a good sign to me.

All very true but hardly putting the club in jeopardy in my opinion.

So does this mean the club is up for sale?

I'm neither a lover or a hater but credit where credit is due - let's give him this one too:

The re-structuring of the entire coaching setup.

I'd say that's a biggie - okay, sure, he was overly loyal to JK but has since overseen the complete revamp of the playing side of the club and all the signs look very positive.

that was the result of JK’s review and recommendation
