I don't think you can blame Alex. He couldn't of predicted that. I think TJ is stale, same as Kerr, to comfy maybe. Klindt has been bad, but out of the two, i think he can improve the most, if you had to keep one of them.
He was by 0.02, and as you say they could all go. For me ft it was between TJ and Klindt, it would be TJ gone. Klindt can't be this bad for long. He only needs to start trapping.
You would have someone who is a Stars fan. Who puts his money where his mouth is, and Rob Lyon who has the experience, to guide/ advise him.. Sounds like a good combo.
