Brian Barwick Pointing Quotations

We will be in the business of appointing who we believe will be the right man to take care of one of the finest international teams in the world.

We've got the best part of six months in real terms - the first international after the World Cup is in August - but that will not be the way we play it. I hope the appointment won't be after the World Cup and there's no reason why it should be. We have the opportunity of appointing before the World Cup and the upside of that is they can watch the side they will inherit in August with a sense of semi-distant ownership, and it may well be an advantage.
