The game was ‘played’ at walking pace after the Germans scored.
From the 1986 WC, the final round of games in each group kicked off on the same day and at the same time.
Board could select a weaker unbalanced team for the manager to play. They could also select a less favourable formation.
The physio could be pressured in to declaring a key player unfit / injured… someone like Whitehall.
If you’ve got a mortgage and need the income from your job – do you resign and walk away or continue to pick up the money?
What if the Board informed the players that the club could possibly go bust if it’s promoted due to the increased financial costs and that they’d be ok at the level it’s currently at.
There’s also the make life difficult approach – we’ve all worked for people like that.
Not saying it will happen but we’d probably never know. Just like we don’t know half of the stuff that goes on in the Palace of Westminster.
