Stern's stance on Pacho's decision to eliminate him from the squad might be right depending on how one wants to look at it because we don't know the real reason for it,if what he is stating here is unprofessional especially where he explained how it's done at the professional level,i wonder how it's done when a Coach gives a player the captain's armband could he just give it to any one on the team to do the job?i should think that's very unprofessional,some peeps think Pacho is very petty for being upset over what these guys did but i think that's utter disrespect and any Coach would be upset with that,i've always said there are guys on there that have a i know more than the Coach attitude and i think Pacho is just letting everybody know who is in charge because at the end of the day it's his team,since this Coach came on board he has been under pressure to prove himself from the players,public etc etc peeps on here are still calling for him to go,it's not easy to come into a situation where you have to learn people's culture,language,players,incorporate your style of play/plan,the TTFF how they operate etc etc in such a short space of time,i think Anton has done quite a good job supporting him because who knows where we would be.
I think Coaches today are under a lot more pressure because there seem to be a pattern,certain things that used to be kept within the team are now being made public,players are washing there dirty laundry in public,once a player don't get called/selected he going to the newspapers/reporters/anyone he can find to highlight his case,it's something i have not seen as yet with our Women and Youth teams.
