But the board did hire Liddle so they have blood on their hands one way or another.
How was Barker sacked because of the announcement of the review? He was terminated because he had given notice of his intention to resign at the end of the season. Teague and Lloyd were apparently comfortable with that but Liddle decided that he had to go. Perhaps it was to try one of the other assistants in Barker's role or perhaps it was just a cost-cutting exercise. The only thing that it has to do with the review is coincidence.
The review team must have met with Barker after his departure. Ignoring such a key figure would be unacceptable. I suspect Johnny wouldn't have pulled any punches in his responses.
