Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3214147, member: 8988"] I'm not a fan of his but I think his handling of the lodge US compensation crises where he almost walked away from the game was handled well. Likewise, the Bali situation with Fiffita last year (I know he ended up leaving but it showed we looked after our own, and that counts when attracting players). They tell me he has been a good financial manager and I can't offer an opinion on that except we are more sound than any other club in that way (despite our mediocre efforts) That of course leaves the elephant in the room: our infield performance. For that and that alone he should have gone a lot sooner. It seemed to stem from allowing a personal gripe with Bennet to colour his handling of the exit and his appointment of his successor. That was truly diabolical. Lots of coaches have been sacked before, but the seemingly ham-fisted handling of it, quite frankly the dishonest way in which it was done, hurt my opinion of the club more than the wooden spoon, and it definitely had a part in our future failures with the disharmony sown. It is the one caviet I give when lambasting siebold. He was very much undermined from the start by it and his incompetence allowed it to blossom. In another decade he may get a go somewhere else and who knows? He may surprise. At least he will be wiser. [/QUOTE]
