Why should I simplify it? It was a complicated issue and nuance is important. Pretty silly way to assess a situation by saying "good coach signed, bad coach sacked" lol. There's a process between those two points and that's what is being discussed.
I ask you again - if the review pointed to Ratten as an issue, why did Bassat tell him his job was safe before the review was finished? If Bassat knew Ratten's job was finished in September, why did he wait four weeks to let him know that? Why did Bassat give a guy 4 days to save a job he was getting sacked from regardless?
Nobody is towing a media line mate, this is all coming from the club.
Time you let it go like you said you were going to earlier George lol.. we're all on the same team here. You're obviously unbending in your view, so lets just agree to disagree.
