Arosina
The fact is that Decentric is obsessed with all things KNVB and to him the orange way is the only way. No other methods can possibly compete and certainly not the old simple British inspired Australian way which is what Chips represents to him.

This obsession has remained despite seeing first hand several KNVB qualified coaches being exposed badly here in Australia. Whether it be Verbeek, Versleijen, Van Schip or now Coolen, it hardly matters, all have the requisite fashionable paperwork yet all have managed to display staggering inadequacies.

I would've thought it'd be enough for Decentric to start questioning the sort of Dutchies we've got down here - including those serving up the national curriculum or whatever it's called - but, alas, it seems you just don't question the KNVB or any of it's disciples.




Arosina has raised a few points about Dutch/KNVB/quality of the Dutch coaches we have in Australia.

They were stared in another thread, which were immaterial to the topic, even though there is validity in raising the questions he has.

I disagree with most, not all, of what he has said, even though the way he has made them is cogent and meritorious.

I intend to address them over time.
