Barker to helm Japan


Recommended Posts

I am very disappointed in Barker. It was time or him to step down, he had his fair share of attempts to win the cup without success. If he was really interested in NZ winning the cup back he would have used his considerable experience to help NZ bring the cup back at the next regatta. Ego got in the way ? He may not have seen eye to eye with some of the team but for the greater good he should have stood by them.

CG I don't agree at all. He is an Americas cup professional sailor. He could be a minion at ETNZ in difficult employment with bosses who (at least it seems from the outside) who shafted him, OR he could run a different team, where, if it wins, will crown his career. Easy choice. 

 

"Team NZ" is just a name, it is not a NZ team, and has not been for some time...

Now if you really believe in conspiracies you would argue that Coutts bunged Dalts a few to flick Deano so that Coutts could push Dean on the Japs and hey presto we have another team in the AC with someone who at least has some experience driving these things.
