Hi UK Kiwi,
I am a party to events which have included contract termination, provision of services, and matters of confidentiality. While I generally susbscribe to the modern aesthetic of robust public fan discussion, I am simply not at liberty to comment on issues here at present. I am sure you will understand.
That's not to say i don't have a few opinions. (Just as with the Ross Taylor-Mike Hesson-David White stoush, our football soap opera protagonists often get two-dimensionally cast as either comic book goodies or baddies, when the reality is there are, er, 50 shades of grey, and seemingly inconsistent actions merely reflect responses to the ever-changing football landscape.)
But in the circumstances I will reserve my comments for the next volume of my football memoirs.
Speaking of which, PDF copies of the 462-page THE WAIKATO CHRONICLES (winner of the 2012 NZ football publication of the year) are still available at $10 from [email protected], and copies of 260-page THE FALL & RISE OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE (A potted chronology of the twists, turns and conflicting ideas in New Zealand football since 1990) will be available next month.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for response Bruce
With Declan I have never seen shades of Grey, only Black and White. In my case I see more in the dark side of this Charismatic Character.
Although I agree with some of his views on the game, his relentless blinkered eye approach and inability to compromise will always let him down. I wish him and his disciples well at Ole and will follow with interest the impact he brings to the academy.
