I know nothing about Jennings, other than the things I've read in the papers over the last three or four weeks. Seems to me that he is one of those odd people who actually wants to be seen as professionally unpleasant. The trouble is that all the people I've ever come across who wanted to be seen that way (and I have worked with a few over the last 20 years or so) actually are unpleasant. His job as coach is presumably to get the best possible performances out of his people. Public humiliation seldom works in the long run. I have no time for this management style, and no time for those who practise it. So, Zainub, sorry: that's not an explanation, but in fact I simply don't have one.
