imo, the crux of the problem is separation of powers, or more to the point, a lack thereof. I understand that there were some valid protests made at the AGM a few years ago when 1 person assumed the role of both general manager & president of the league. Good corporate governance principles...
Sam wasn't playing. Problem was the risk assessment of whether the "unnamed individuals" would then seek retribution against any of the other players, their families or club supporters.
