Is he the right person for the job? I understand he does want to get back closer to Pirie.
Ports paid a lot of money to finish last, but then again Sollies paid a lot of money to finish 4th!
What happened between BI and Squids management to cause his sacking?
Story is board asked for him to commit for three years, BI said he could only commit for one, so they said they would rather pursue someone who could commit long term, citing the current crop of good juniors coming up through the ranks need a stable league coach for the next few years as they transition to senior grades.
A reasonable request, IF that is the reason or is it just a cop out??
What was BI's record like. Where did Ports finish last year and this year?
