looks a lot like that to me (fred copping the flack on behalf of others)
fred seems like a reasonable bloke and he's obviously not stupid
but since he has come on board, the visible aspects of NZF's operation have not been good and that reflects badly on him
but hey, maybe he found a giant mess and has made it less of a mess? who knows
we really do need to be looking at frank. i always liked that guy, but like fred, the visible aspects are not good
there's plenty to be positive about with nz footy right now. i reckon our player base is better than ever and is going to keep getting better. but i just think we could be doing a whole lot better administratively. head office risks undermining all of the progress being made in terms of the quality of player we are now producing compared to 10 years ago
