Not even especially in sporting clubs. More like at every place of employment throughout the world!
My boss is great now, but I have had a few that I wouldn’t speak so kindly of!
But almost never the reason a major orginisation goes down the gurglar. The most successful businesses are run by ruthless ******. Longmire like every other coach would have and had a player not like him no doubt but if we are selling this as a reason he should be replaced and why we sit 4-8 we are dead set kidding ourselves. AFL Coaches have a percentage of their playing group not like them, so do VFL Coaches, C Grade Suburban Coaches, A-League Coaches, NBA Coaches, So What ! It is human nature for people to not like what they hear especially about themselves. They become disgruntled and try and recruit others into their troth of self pity. Next thing you know a parasite spreads this to another parasite and it spreads like wild fire.
If Longmire goes it won't be because 1% of the ******* playing group don't like him which is about what the percentages would boil down to it is because he has had a better offer for him going forward or both him and the club are on the same page as to where we are going in the next couple of years and don't see it as feasible. Tell You What If he is to go I can't wait for all his detractors on here to wish him all the best and Fawn over his efforts in The Past on The Thanks Horse Thread That No Doubt will appear. When If True To Their Belief It should be **** off Horse and Don't Let The Door Hit You On The Way Out.
