Quote ="Gazwire"Say we'd got another coach in, one of your preferences. Let's say your new coach had to make a similar clear out because the same players resisted change. And your new coach had to deal with a similar player turnaround. How long would you give your new coach to prove himself?'"
There's too many whatifs in there to give a sensible answer.
Its quite simple, a good coach understands the strengths and weaknesses of his players and develops a strategy and game plan to make them effective. Start simple and develop individually and collectively as and when possible. Replace and evolve, develop capability and confidence in each other.
Is that what has happened? It looks more like a hatchet job to me.
