"He approved of McKenna leaving, but had never worked in a dressing room. He recommended that certain classes of player should be gradually eliminated: but he had never been there when a YTS trainee had been released or a washed up old pro came to the very last day and hour and minute on the cold training ground. He knew nothing about the last half cup of cold tea drunk slowly ten days before. My advice, Mr McKenna, is see the project out where you know you are appreciated."
