Let�s address the issue NOT too much the individuals

The main cause of the fall-out was the apparent contradiction between what Paul did and said and what the Association did and said. The major bone of contention is why some key Under 23 players were to be with the senior team at the COSAFA Cup while the Under23s were playing a crucial qualifier and if indeed Paul was consulted on the matter and if indeed he was part of the decision or not. Clearly the two were on a tangent with the Association saying this and Paul saying that. And in the end, as the power rests with the Association, they prevailed and fired Paul.

I’m not for one second condoning or agree with Paul and his outburst attacking the Association in public, but we need to look at what caused the outburst and what should be done to prevent that in the future. Surely there is an issue here and it could happen with another coach in somewhat similar situation. Coach’s outburst need to be addressed and I have seen such happen in the past and the Association was not so hasty to fire them. They were reprimanded and warned of their future conduct.
