He needs to pack his bags and go now. He doesn't deserve to manage in finals football after messing us all around like this.
I've been saying it for at least 2 months that it is clear he was going to leave and poach several of our best players to his new club. Huge conflict of interest there. David Williams even said he was waiting for Rudan's decision before he signed a new contract. He and Kurto are now following Rudan to Western United. Krishna will be gone as well and probably Burgess too.
It will cause a ripple effect and none of our best players will want to play here if they get offers over the ditch.
Get in a new coach now. Even let Greenie and Dura co-coach until we find a coach I don't care. We just need to put the foot down now and have a backbone for once and move on without Rudan.
I agree Rudan should be let go now, if he's given notice. Hard to see him motivating the team, when they know he's gonski.
However lets see who actually leaves as well, before we accuse him of poaching players.
Only Kurto is confirmed as leaving, and that sounded about his partner not liking Wellington as much as anything. She wouldn't be the first.
Some other players may leave because of the licence uncertainty - that's nothing to do with Rudan either.
