KP was so confident that his mutinous plan would succeed that he’d already found a new coaching dream team to replace Peter Moores.

According to reports, the industrious big Kev had been working on third party sponsorship to fund his coup through talks with an unnamed wealthy businessman, and all that remained was for the board to approve the scheme.

KP’s old Hampshire captain Shane Warne was to be head coach, former Victorian captain Darren Berry his assistant, and former England all-rounder Jeremy Snape as team psychologist charged with managing KP’s ego. This of course the same coaching team that won the IPL last year, though Warney would be unlikely to qualify as Captain/Coach for England.

Unfortunately for Kevin, the wheels came off his master plan pretty quickly. It seems the board would like to be involved in the appointment of coaching staff. Perhaps they’d like to even speak to new candidates before their cowboy of a captain seals the deal on their behalf.

Also, there’s the problem that Warney is not interested in becoming the English and Welsh mentor, unless an offer was so “financially outrageous it would be impossible to refuse.”
