I cant believe that Scoullar or any Otago United player would be out till 5 am in the morning before a game. To me Scoullar let himself down last year when i watched him. He was unfit and just seemed to be going thru the motions. I think Phelan had to go.After all he picked the squad he brought the imports here. Look at that boy Cam from Canada. He was a kid.He hasnt been here for the Winterto select players and look at his record with his assistants. How many players left to go elsewhere (Scoullar included). He went to Canterbury after falling out with Phelan or was it for the money.He then left them after a disagreement with the Board or Coach (cant remember which).
Apparently, the reason for not appointing a Head Coach was Phelan himself.He couldnt make his mind up whether he wanted to do the job or not.
Im not backing the Board but its so easy to blame committees,boards etc without knowing all the facts and we dont know them. All we get is rumours etc. Look at the names mentioned before the coach was announced. There were allsorts and none of them true. The truth is we dont know what goes on.
To be fair when my winter season finishes im not interested in what goes on in the build up to the new season. I will always go and support them though.
