Benny Gale did some serious study when he was head of the ALFPA and it shows in his corporate management style.
The questions and answers were calculated without admitting fault, blame or acknowledging the problems.
I really admire Benny and think his regime is doing a good job - but I really hope that he does not get on the "spin" train, because most corporate spin kings start believing their own spin and lose touch with reality and ultimately fail.
I just want Benny's administration to differentiate themselves from other corporate spin doctors and be honest with the fans/supporters. That means being open & honest about the player's and coaches performances and where they need to improve. The performance last week was a culmination of playing poorly for a few weeks - however we don't get any serious information from the club in regards to what they are doing.
I suppose we put a certain amount of trust in Benny & Dimma to run things and if things are going well then nobody cares about the methods. But when things go awry then they need to be more accountable and explain what there doing or they will antagonize the fans - which is what is happening now. If they want our support then they need to explain the strategies and answer the questions - not put out spin.
I suppose that Dimma is at a disadvantage in that most Tiger fans recognise spin given the previous coach (bad luck to print his name) - and want to support and "stay on the bus" but I feel we need more open communication and information from the club.
