Quote JEAN CAPDOUZE="JEAN CAPDOUZE"BTW, Tony Rea didn't jump, he was pushed:
Rea told BBC London 94.9: "I would rather have stayed on and finished the job this season, but I accept that's not my call. It was always intended that I wouldn't be here next year and David, more than anyone, felt it was a good time to do it.
"We've held together well and I feel we're going to have a really good second half of the season and prove everyone wrong. I know Joe feels the same. I'm sad that I'll not be a part of that, but I accept that it's the best thing to do."
This fiasco with Rea, along with David Hughes previous three year retention of Gus McKay as CEO, and his previous year and a half retention of Rob Powell as coach, shows once again what a slow learner, or indecisive boss, as well as poor judge of employee performance, David Hughes is.
I might add that Tony Rea was responsible for undermining and humiliating former captain Craig Gower, motivating Gower to leave the club a year and a half before his contract expired. Gower might have been still there this year and leading the club to greater, even if modest, success (like avoiding relegation) had Tony Rea never been reappointed coach.'"
Perhaps if Gower had played anything like the required standard he would have a case. Gower left because he was embarrassing himself with his own level of performance
