Staff In Arms
Beneath the surface, a Hattrick Administration organizational policy implemented without prior consultation has ruffled more than a few feathers. The swiftly-accepted proposal, which aimed to slash the official maximum headcount for each club, in response to sides going under, has shaken up plenty of employees worldwide.
A casualty at Grilled Birds was specialist form coach Dudley Co, who was less than thrilled at receiving his pink slip, despite more than satisfactory performance during his tenure. "Look, this is not just about me." Co told reporters. "It's bigger than that. What are some suits doing trying to dictate how others run their clubs? It's bad for the game as a whole."
Likewise, assistant coach Au Puay Chang will not have his Farmer Bunnies contract renewed. "It's a shame." colleague Li Aik Meng said. "We've been here since the Bunnies were founded, and the players have always taken to Au's training methods."
"And, I'll be having my workload increased without extra compensation."
Grilled midfield coach and former player Abdul bin Jantan was simply happy to be kept on. "I'm sorry for Dudley, but that's life."
