I'm all for it right now. It might not be a big coaching addition to get super excited about, but it's something. The club is trying something at least and trying to bring in change. Furner is a decent coach and a senior coach with experience, which is what this relatively young coaching staff probably needs. What's more, he's a new voice that hasn't been around the club during our downward spiral so that's good news. He can come in with a fresh slate, and hopefully drive some new standards.
I don't think it's a 'JD signing' as such. We've seen that JD can be very stubborn so I doubt he's putting his hand up and saying "I need help here." If he has done that, then it's a massive change in attitude. I believe this would have been club driven.
I get what people are saying about his record at the Dogs and Tigers but that was a completely different situation. We have a better roster and better players on paper, it's about getting them to respond and get back to their best now. Can Furner do that? I don't know. I honestly don't know.
But you know what, it's worth a shot, we have to give it a try and it might just work! You never know.
But welcome back Furnsy!! Please fix us.
