Arthur sacked

I mean, this probably isn't going to actually go to court. Arthur's probably just trying to stay the **** away from the COE which CA are probably trying to force him into
Church of Euthanasia or Council of Elders?

Revenge is a dish best served cold but in Arthur's case it is piping hot.
Revenge, Australia will go about their business tomorrow and nothing will change but tomorrow no other team will even pick up the phone when Arthur calls. Who is going to employ him or let him near their team. Career ending.

He knew it was career ending but why announce Watson is a cancer etc... in the middle of the series?

The aim of that has to be to disrupt the team, no other reason for it.

The dismissal was perhaps a good thing for Australia. Lehmann may give Australia the best chance in the Ashes. However, Arthur was clearly treated shabbily at the end and it was poorly handled by CA. There couldnt be any other outcome than a court case. As for him spilling the beans, Im not sure it is malicious. He is now divorced from the situation and speaking freely regards to how he saw his position.

I have sympathy with Aus supporters who clearly want, and should have, the best man for the job. But I also have sympathy for Arthur. I dont have sympathy with CA who seem to think they can act how they want with little consequence to their actions.

This is between CA and Arthur. The team is collateral damage. Arthur's gonna have to shed some light on the team situation in his pursuit of a favourable settlement isn't he? And it's not gonna be pretty, but disrupting the team is clearly not the main goal. You cant expect Arthur to hold off filing until it's a nice time for CA and the team. He, afterall, needs to get this settled ASAP so he can move on with life.

I'm interested how his legal team will prove 'racial discrimination' on CA's part, purely through how much they under-compensated him.

FTR we hated Robbie Deans just as much, we're equal opportunity xenophobes.

Mickey Arthur says he is extremely upset confidential claims leaked. Welfare of team "upmost" to him.
So that probably discounts any thought of him deliberately or carelessly undermining the team.

Bound to say it now it is out.

Do you really think A Saffer cares about his former employers chances in the ashes when the England team is full of them?

Are you saying that Arthur has more allegiance to KP and Trott than the blokes he'd coached for a year or so?

If so, please take your palm and slam it into your face.

There's a 21 day limitation period to commence unfair dismissal proceedings in Australia. That would explain why he filed it now.
