Yes, it's a tough old gig this coaching lark. His days were definitely numbered but I did not share in the general low opinion of him. He showed confidence in the ability of himself and his assistants to get the best out of players. There were some gutsy moves along the way such as picking up Ackland and Guerra when no-one else was at all interested. He got Ackland playing much better than he had ever done at Port. In conclusion, the sacking was inevitable and understandable but I do feel for GT because he dared to be different.
