Soccer coach’s case

PA Auckland Soccer coaches should be treated better by their clubs, the outgoing Landbase Papatoetoe coach,Mr Vic Mobley said. He quit his job with Papatoetoe just hours before a Rothmans League match after details of his- agreement with the club committee had been leaked to the press. Earlier in the week Mr Mobley had been summoned to a meeting where he was told his services were no longer required. However, a compromise was reached, with an agreement that Mobley would leave at the end of the season. But when details of the meeting appeared in a Saturday newspaper, Mr Mobley decided he had been placed in an impossible situation and left.

He was the victim of an “anti-Vic” faction within the club which he claimed had been unhappy at the number of players from last season who had left the club, he said. “The players that have left have done so for a variety of reasons and all have left in amicable circumstances,” Mr Mobley said. “There are no problems within the team. There is a good team spirit and I have recently had approaches from two Rothmans League Sers wanting to join the . “As a result I feel I have been let down badly by the committee. Coaches shouldn’t be treated the way I have been, and the game has got to come of age, where we coaches are treated decently.”
