As far as I am concerned SCW was a CEO with £10m budget to deliver a simple goal - a test series win in New Zealand.
He had ample preparation time, his pick of support personnel, his chosen COO (Robinson - who should have been in Canada with England), and specialist managers in all areas (many of whom he had previous working relationships with).
His raw materials were adequate but he was unable to deliver the finished product. Some selections were bizzare in the extreme and his man management appears to be somewhat erratic.
Personally I feel cheated and badly let down - but unlike a company where the board of directors would have to answer to their shareholders, SCW will now move off to soccer with Southampton FC.
