[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 1152817, member: 12190"] Well, the beeb report from the Portugal game headlined with "Australia keeping their world cup hopes alive" 😅 Look I think it's done isn't it. It's untenable. I said previously what's really the harm in seeing the direction of travel into next year, still early in the cycle, but that's all futile if the players have turned on him, which seems to be the case. In which scenario - you can either shift him up to the top of the poo stick and let him be toxic at that level, but that's pointless really and I think EJ still fancies himself as a hands on coach so wouldn't go for it. If Japan still want him, that's best for all. It has got me thinking about the idea of player engagement and wellbeing. Most industries are at least on the surface trying to update and move to a healthier model of staff - leader relationships. In some examples, sport can still feel like a bit prosaic where unhappy players and staff have little power until results start to tell their own story. [/QUOTE]
