Wreaks a little of the white anting that took place here with Bennett...
- Moving on the existing coach in an extremely messy fashion with constant leaks to the media and weak statements from the CEO and board
- Board being silent in the background but seemingly having made their decision long ago
- CEO having to front up to the media to justify the decisions
It's all very business world when sport is a different beast.
The differences being that JL was successful when being pushed out whereas Bennett seemed to have been peaking with the playing group .... also the playing group were fully behind Bennett, whereas the cricket team dont seem to be for JL
It will be interesting to see how this goes results wise... is it a clique within the playing group or was it basically all of them.
Will the grass be greener with whoever they put in...
NOTE I'm not posting this to rehash the Bennett sacking... that has absolutely been done to death... I'm posting in regards to CA and an apparent white anting and how that may play out for what has been a successful team over the last few years.
Will they fall like the Broncos did under Seibold... or will the playing group move on because they all hated the coach.
I think it is actually more like what happened at the Titans with Neil Henry (although not as extreme)
senior players basically forced his hand
