The Board has to take some responsibility for this debacleMy 2c worth from an old coaches perspective and unfortunately having been once in the same position. I didn't lose my job.
Ok I haven't won a game for a while now. I've given the old guard every opportunity to dig themselves out of the hole the team finds itself in.
By the old guard I mean my senior players, Gutho, Holmes, Su'a and Cook. I've spoken to them separately away from the whole squad.
Yet although a bit better last night we are 0 - 6, my head is now on the chopping block. Have I lost the dressing sheds?
After the game I've been informed that there is a board meeting on Tuesday. Is the writing on the wall or will I have the opportunity to explain and defend myself? Is my position untenable?
If I am to be shown the door who comes in as interim.? Probably my assistant Young who has been with me through all this and but he has had his input. So what is he going to change with the same squad of players? The same cattle?
So is Tuesday a lay down misere or not? I mean the same board just extended my contract last year. Am I going to be told that I have more time to turn this around or be shown the door.?
I have spoken to some board members already privately, I believe I know what is coming. So am I going to walk before I'm pushed? Depends on my contract.
The rest of us, players, supporters now sit and wait for Tuesday. As I said I didn't lose my job.
Ever had to deal with a board? I have and in my experience they will never admit fault or making a mistake.The Board has to take some responsibility for this debacle
They extended Flanno without reason.
They need to acknowledge the mistake and deal with it before we lose our better juniors.
