As a qualified Schoolteacher Coley will understand the meaning of the pronoun "WE". Unfortunately it appears that not all those who post on here do.
Qualified schoolteacher or not, surely you can see the point I'm trying to make. By using the pronoun WE it looks to me like JC has attempted to share the responsibility of bizarre team selections and substitutions with the squad rather than admit he's made mistakes.
I appreciate your short lesson on the use and understanding of pronouns and bow to your superior knowledge of the subject although I myself am a retired teacher!
I'll give you some homework. Look up the definition of the word MANAGER.
