if the Double-Eff-Aye just loaned Con the cash for his super bill none of this would have happened and we'd be celebrating our 5 title by now.
i blame Frank Lowy

But this is China, and how they operate is another world entirely. Miller would have been seen as dispensable and he questioned his new overlord.
I'm doing business in China now and this is nothing compared to some of the hijinx I'm hearing about.
Miller got the sack because he had a punch up in China with his assistant coach. Miller arrived late in China and told his assistant not to train the first day. The assistant puts on a training session anyway. Kokko gets a soft tissue injury in the game the next day and Miller and the forgettable assistant end up in blows. Miller gets the sack, the players refuse to train for Trani? and he gets sacked the next day.
Yeah yeah yeah
That part of the story
Don't forget the bit where he was told to shut up and pull his head in when dealing with someone and chose to keep running his mouth
We not talking about a spur of the moment outburst here
Time was there to allow sanity to enter the equation
Where did you hear this?
But evidently it didn't
Someone in the know.
Don't you know the story??
It pretty well known what went down in China that got him the arse.
I heard a few different things, Only thing I knew for certain was that Miller wasnt being told who to sign and play
I remember reading about that event in the media as the major part of his demise.
The final nail after he questioned the Chinese overlords as it were
Have you had any experience in South Korea ? That was an eye opener for me - I'd imagine China is similar.
Interviewer: So Scot why did you leave your last job ?
Scott Miller: I punched a Tranni.
Interviewer: Next.
There was no punch on, lol.
The first part is true with regards to training, Miller said not to have training after the long travel. Despite this Trani takes a session, Kokko injured in game.
Second game was the team sheet debacle, someone didnt fill it out properly, the team ended up copping a goal (not sure if its one or 2). Miller feels like that Trani is trying to undermine him and sends him home.
The whole issue about challenging the boss is Scott is to have said that it was either him or Trani, thinking that he would be fine. Lee gives Scott the flick. From what I have been told Martin lee wanted to sack Scott anyway when he took over the club and bring in his own coach and start a completely a fresh, Lawrie talked him out of this
Players all refused to train under Trani as they could probably tell what was going on. They all wanted Scott back, but Lee didnt want him and I dont think Scott wanted the job anyway
Wow did Mr Lee not watch us the season before. Sounds were gonna have a Chelsea style ownership with lots of Manager changes without the success.
What would be harder:
- being the media guys at the jerks trying to hype the derby up after Jones just smothers the hell out of it
- being Trump's media people and trying to contain his Twitter
I don't envy either tbh
OK
I love the talk of Lee 'saving face' because he's Asian or some shit. So something that happens behind closed doors that a handful of people knew about was too embarassing to let slide. But letting your football team embarrass themselves in public is perfectly cool.
international diplomacy 101 with the membah
Asian males are an interesting breed.
Learn something here and realise that face is an over riding concept with Asians.
Something Miller wasn't smart enough to acknowledge
Maybe if he was smarter he could have saved you from the horrors Jones has inflicted on you with the shit footballers left behind by Miller
So in your opinion what coaching wise does Jones need to change or improve next year (tactics/subs etc)????
