For sure, Castro is being an absolute dick about the situation, especially being the team captain. I’ve been quietly happy for Perth to get as far as they did in the finals so they could show their capabilities without Castro there. It’s pretty clear that their players have bought into that as well.
That said, I can’t help but wonder if Perth have contributed to this scenario a little bit by allowing Castro special dispensation in some situations, like to return late for pre-season as he has done previously. If that wasn’t permitted, perhaps Castro would know he couldn’t get away with special treatment.
Perth Glory’s coaching shortlist, according to the West Australian: - Hayden Foxe - Bobby Despotovski - Ernie Merrick - John Aloisi - Richard Garica - Chris Coyne - Damian Mori - Tony Vidmar - Neil Kilkenny (coaching clause in contract)
Good pool of former SFC players, the main criterion for coaching success these days Foxe, Garcia and John Aloisi. That said, apparently Mori has done incredibly well coaching in Adelaide and is a Glory legend.
I took the piss more than anyone (SHAKY HANDS I REBUKE YOU) but apparently there are quite big differences with Afro-Carribean hair (not sure if that’s the right phrase, apologies if not) vs other types. He posted something quite silly and potentially a poorly executed joke but he came off looking like a wanker. Having said that he was keen for someone with experience in cutting his type of hair which is fairly legit. Perth is a small bogan place so was probably hard.
I laughed at him but I “hate” food places that make the food of my heritage if they come from a different part of the country - too much cumin, I rebuke you.
Big learning in this for me about the haircut thing. If you’re reading Daniel, I apologise.
