From memory it was Bonnie Jansen article. Jansen is apparently friends with a number of NZ female football players. I think she played the game herself to a level around Auckland, and also worked at Eastern Suburbs doing some social media stuff

A lot on here questioned at the time whether Temple was just trying to bring in a more success driven culture after 2 wooden spoons, plus of course visa players for the first time. And whether that had at least in part, been part of the reason Knott left. I remember Canadian GK Rylee Foster doing an interview last season saying the culture under Temple was great.

Will be very interesting to see if CK, gets a gig with the new Auckland ALW team. I'm guessing she would deserve a spot on merit. But does she now have a rap as being a disruptive influence in NZ football circles? Who knows. As always 2 sides to every story.
I didn't think it was Bonnie, who's a reporter rather than an op-ed type, and I was right: https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/opinion/301022820/chloe-knotts-sudden-resignation-from-wellington-phoenix-highlights-problems-with-womens-sport-in-new-zealand
