[QUOTE="Counties NZ, post: 777870, member: 73440"] Agree with the above posters regarding ex-player coaches and the old boys club. Back to the OPs statement though, my feeling is the Blues have bigger problems than the coach I.E upper management sticking their beak into the coach's job at best, and at worst hamstringing him to the point of redundancy. In other words, changing coach's is simply re-arranging deck chairs on the ***anic. I also have some reservations about professionlism amongst the players. It's something i can't put my finger on, but in general terms they seem to have these show pony attitudes ,resulting in the show pony haircuts etc, but then have trouble catching the ball especially at clutch moments. Possibly on this point i'm being bias, but if i was a coach/captain fancy hair cuts and dance moves should come second to the team getting the ball over the chalk. In other words, if your performance is on track , live and let live, but if your performing like the blues with the talent pool and support they have i'd be going down a military boot camp style route; shape up or ship out!
