Ffs I am NOT suggesting that is what SOS thought.
I am using Kemp as an example of the way COI work to insidiously infect every conflicted decision of the decision maker.
Because SoS has a conflicted loyalty - to the Club on the one hand and to his sons on the other, his decision to trade down for Kemp can be argued to be one done to try to restrict the competition for spots in the team his sons might take.
It is the perception that this might have been SOS’s motivation (ie capable of being reasonably argued) - not the reality - that matters. A list manager’s decisions must be beyond suspicion of bias because suspicion is a malignant cancer which, once it takes hold, will kill.

I don't think anybody is delving that deep to look for a COI Windy. I'm not sure anybody reasonable overthinks quite that much.

I apply a reasonable person test to most situations. If a reasonable person might conclude something, it should be taken seriously. A paranoid person or conspiracy theorist ... no, we don't cater to them.

Everyone else in the anger management group agrees.
