There are some similarities. The dogs powerbrokers wanted controlHis departure at The Dogs too. He'll run anyone over to achieve his "job for the old boys" strategy.
And history showed the same thing happening with Dean Pay, who said he probably wouldn’t coach again due to his experiences and being undermined/not listened to.
We have to be careful in what horse we back.
Interesting things Graham mentioned in the above article about Des’ exit;
"I do feel like we've probably let Des down a little bit. I think the word culture gets thrown around too much in this time."
"He should have been given the chance to have that roster overhauled, which it has now," Graham said.
"I thought he should've been given the reins still. I regard Des so highly and will be personally indebted to him for bettering me as a man and a footballer.”
Graham said coaches probably get "too much credit" when things are going well, and too much criticism when things are going wrong.

I feel like this last comment is so true, and I remember having a few too many rants this year about this... Coaches can only do so much.
