The Board of the Barbados Netball Asssociation tonight( 17-05-11) delivered one of the most DISRESPECTFUL and CALCULATED moves in recent netball by unceremoniously firing the Manager of the senior netball team less than two months before the World Netball Championships.
Immediately after the training session had ended, the Vice-President of the Board walked over and in the presence of players and management,handed the former Manager a letter signed by the President of the Association ( guess there is no Secretary) while saying, "Juanita asked me to give this to you!"
The letter notified the former Manager that the Board had met and decided to terminate her services as Manager with immediate effect due to her disruptive behaviour. HUHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
None of the seven persons who comprise the Board has ever made it their business to come around the team when they were in training to interact with not only the team but the Manager or management. To say she has been disruptive is nothing more than an ABSOLUTE LIE !!!!!!!! Then again this Board is full of lies and LAVATORY MATTER !
With this utterly RIDICULOUS and CALCULATED move, a hugely successful management team has been disbanded. What the netball fraternity doesn't know is that when the present Board took office, a decision was made by them to get rid of the assistant coaches ( which they have silently done) as well as the former Manager.
With three out of four gone, the next person to go is the COACH. However without waiting the head coach RESIGNED which paves the way for the President to fulfill all the promises she made to the people who are the inventors of the game.
Several questions now need to be asked:
1 - Who is the replacement as Manager?
2 - Will there be more than one Assistant Coach? This one will be interesting!
3- Who takes over as Coach? More interest !!!!
Not only has the Board of the Barbados Netball Association shown scant disrespect to a woman of principle but to the players who have been diligent in the task as hand making a decision FOR them and not CONSULTING them at ANY time.
To those who applied for the vacant positions, YOU CAN HAVE THEM NOW because it seems apparent that the Barbados Netball Association is just satisfied with going to the WNC simply to save face and a two year ban from any netball and NOT improving globally.
To the Board of the Barbados Netball Association, A PROMISE IS A COMFORT TO A FOOL AND YOU HAVE MADE MANY PROMISES TO MANY FOOLS.
