Burrell

The Editor, Sir:

I am really disgruntled about the drastic move to fire Rene Simoes.

This does not reflect good management skills. I think whatever the problem it should have been discussed in a general meeting and attempts made to reach a resolution in a more diplomatic way.

Captain Burrell should wake up and smell the coffee. Simoes cannot work miracles. He is not on the field playing the football. He is just the coach.

Players' reaction

Additionally, I don't think all the players accept the move to have their coach fired. I saw a brief interview on one of the television stations immediately after the team's arrival in Jamaica and at least one player sounded disgruntled over the matter.

Why wasn't the matter discussed generally with the players and the executives? Why should the coach face all the consequences of poor performances. This is totally unfair, and, if Simoes is being held accountable all the team members should be fired.

I am, etc.,
