Jason Taylor dumped by South Sydney
Maybe it was all a setup but Jason Taylor has by all reports been dudded. An article by Phil Gould in the smh says that Taylor was king hit by one of his own players at a private function and after an enquiry he has been booted from the club.
I had earlier heard that he had slapped a player in the face and the player over-reacted. The slapping was more a playful slap from what I had seen earlier.
The response by the player was over the top, perhaps fuelled by alcohol.
Now this incident has given the South Sydney board a way to send Taylor on his way. Gould says they were not man enough to just say we are not happy with your performance and pay him out. It was a convenient way to fire him and save some money.
John Lang will replace Taylor as head coach at South Sydney. Gould says it is a bit suspect that they could announce the replacement so soon after Taylor’s dumping. Should there not have been a process to interview replacements or did they have it all sorted out prior to the announcement?
What do you think of the dumping of Jason Taylor. Was it handled the right way and did he deserve to go?
