if the OZ team wins in the coming days, arthur will be seen as a hero. if it does not arthur will be sacked. that would be the case anyway!
so the move is largely immaterial and of no consequence. what it actually will do is , or already done - break team morale, make player think that one must protect their own interests in the long run. don't believe the coach or the captain and play for himself.
OZ team has become the laughing stock of the world, which is a first in decades.
