Quote Kosh="Kosh"I advise everyone to read them as they directly address just about every issue that has been discussed on here in the last few weeks and months. Many won't like or accept his comments but they are pretty comprehensive and indicate that he will not waver from the course he has embarked on - and that includes our coaching setup.
Fans of Gentle are going to be particularly peeved, BTW. Fair to say neither he nor McRae are on AP's Christmas card list.'"
Well said Kosh. These parts really stood out to me:
Quote KoshThere was clearly a highly uncoordinated approach to how this large wage bill was controlled, and we failed to sign the right type of player, at the right price, for the right positions. Naturally, I must shoulder some responsibility as I put my faith in the people around me to manage this efficiently, but evidently this was not done.'"
Quote KoshWe still have players on long-term contracts not suited to our team, culture or style of play. Having this wage committed has affected our chances of changing the squad over the past year, leaving Lee’s hands firmly tied. However Motu and Lee are now making inroads into moulding their own squad for next season and we have some exciting signings confirmed and some close to being confirmed.'"
Really does make it sound like the recruitment done by Mcrae and Gentle has left us in a mess.
