Some more details that have emerged since the Queiroz news:
1. Apparently, he actually quit. Submitted his resignation letter yesterday morning and the FA scheduled a debrief for the evening where he laid down a plethora of reasons why he couldn’t continue, hence the part of his statement that said he didn’t stay because “the right conditions were not well established”.
2. For example, Queiroz said he didn’t understand the team was training everyday in the stadium, the same venue of the game, and not at a different facility.
3. Complained about late arrival. He prefers to arrive in Ghana at least 10 days before the team gathers, he only got here 2 days before, because his ticket didn’t come early.
4. Also preferred that the team stayed at Kempinski, they took them to African Regent. Alisa wasn’t an option because they owe them so much money from previous stays that they sacked the team from there.
5. He also complained about interference, telling close associates that there were some players in camp he knew nothing about. He hinted at this when he said team selection needs to be done with “honesty”.
6. He also wanted more control of the backroom staff, and he was only granted partial control. He actually wanted to bring his own doctor, nutritionist, team manager etch. They only gave him his own nutritionist.
@MarcusDXi You don't have to dissolve an FA to change it's policies. It's such a simple thing. Football and lives that depend on it shouldn't be put on hold in the name of dissolution. Policies can easily be changed.
Anyway, I don't think dissolving the FA is the right move. There are better ways to reform football than that. We should just fix the system with policies that actually have consequences. Yes Kurt is very bad at the job, but in this system no one will thrive in the sports ecosystem.

“There are no issues. Cristiano told me: if you want me to play, I’ll play. If you want me to sit on the bench, I will. If you want me in the stands, I will”.
