| I see they are due to name the head coach this week. Toby Booth was mentioned, there was a glint in Paul Turners eye when I wished him good luck for the future on Saturday. |

Worcester Warriors have named former Leicester Tigers defence coach Matt Everard as their new head coach. Warriors are set to https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/articles/c62gjv9rg29o" rel="nofollow - return to professional rugby union next season in the Championship, two-and-a-half years after going into administration. The 34-year-old former Leicester and Wasps back-rower began coaching with Wasps after retirement in 2017. He returned to Welford Road initially as a senior academy coach for the 2022-23 season before moving into the role of defence coach in December 2022. He https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/articles/cpql0w28w5vo" rel="nofollow - was stood down from that post in February . Worcester were suspended from all competitions in September 2022 and https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/63038335" rel="nofollow - put into administration over unpaid tax, but passed an RFU-led tender process to enter the expanded second tier next season. Everard said the decision to take the job was a "no brainer". "What we're doing is one of a kind really, building from scratch with a clean slate," he told BBC Radio Hereford & Worcester. Everard said the club would put together a squad of 30-40 players involving a "good blend" of big-game experience and "familiar faces" with youthful energy, adding that he had been "inundated" with players and agents reaching out. Announcements on player signings should begin "this week", he said. |

If an agent was not sending resumes, they are not doing their job. There are 35 new full-time positions to fill. ------------- Sweeney Delenda Est |

| Anyone who signs a contract with Worcester Defaulters can't complain if future wages aren't paid. It's part of their "proud tradition". |

Happens every season, Iām sure Rayer has some options. We lose some and sign some.

They will but they still have to start paying debts off, and if Falcons fold do they get bounced up again??? ------------- Run with it |

If that happened would another club from Nat 1 get promoted to replace the interlopers? ------------- Enjoying life! |

Since when does a new club have a proud tradition anyway?

It depends on when they fold. The National and lower Leagues are locked in place earlier than the top two. Without looking it up, I think the deadline is in August. So, when Jersey withdrew, it was September, and too late to rearrange leagues - so the Championship went ahead with 11. But, had they been a Premiership side going bust, even in September, theoretically a Championship side should have been promoted. But as they need to have passed a ground audit, they would not be. ------------- Sweeney Delenda Est |
