I mean, wouldn’t you? Ever since this chief (“Uncle” Butt) have stepped in, things have taken a turn for the worse. First came the official behind-the-door ICC conversations, but from him, things were out in the media which concerned the ICC officials.
Geoff Lawson was targeted next. Which came down to sacking him from his national coach position.
What now? Hire someone that you like in your personal opinion? At least Nasim Ashraf went through a cleaner process of hiring and firing and things were at least better (which, considering his whole reign was ill, is giving it a compliment). This administration have gone bonkers and have made a vow to chop down anyone and anything related to the previous administration. So Geoff Lawson was brought in before Ejaz Butt, but on what basis was he terminated? I mean, you can’t even give the full three-month salary to the guy and then show him the door after humiliation. No, but here’s another great chance to throw the dirty laundry out in the public and refuse to give him the remaining according to the contract.
I am going to sue PCB for giving frequent virtual heart attacks, emotional distress, mental instability and chaos to their fans and to Pakistan cricket. In my opinion, sue you PCB…!
Hats off to him.. He came, he saw, he started screwing Pakistan cricket. In less than 3 weeks, he proved that deserves to have a thread here of his chronicles, a feat hard to match. At a time when Pakistan cricket already suffered alot, we got a 70 year old clown who is willing to do more damage than good.
I don’t even want to get into the discussion of Lawson’s termination and if it was a good or bad decision. But what about professional and moral ethics??? What about being responsible when you are holding the post of the chairman PCB? Leaking confidential stuff when was discussed in a meeting, giving stupid senseless comments about the national coach, then self contradicting yourself a day later and then next day firing the national coach in the most unceremonious manner. What about thanking the guy for his efforts who despite being a foreigner tried his best to convince players to tour Pakistan and went with ICC team to meet english and australian board officials/players before the championsh trophy?
Wondering if Kamran Abbasi is thinking that he should have waited for few more day before posting this in his blog. He could have got more material to bash Uncle Butt.
