This quote I think reveals what went on when Phil went to Brisbane. A naïve coach laying it all out for a volatile owner who then loses his cool and takes a knee jerk reaction. Doesn't he know that guys like Tinkler need to be shown the right course of action to take? He should have said "Yes, we could go that way and sack everyone, but here is a better way".
I still kinda feel sorry for Phil, like he is way out of his depth making mistake after mistake, in a Frank Spencer kind of way.

But maybe that is me being a little naïve.
