WICB chief executive officer Michael Muirhead has said there was no one specific reason for the termination of coach Phil Simmons contract, nor was it a sudden development. In a nutshell, Muirhead said, Simmons vision did not align with the strategic approach of the WICB and the divide widened over the past few months, reaching a point where a final decision had to be made.The decision to relieve Simmons of the job was taken by the board of directors at the quarterly WICB meeting last weekend in Dominica. It is understood the directors were asked to vote on the matter, but Muirhead would not reveal whether it was a unanimous decision to terminate Simmons contract. It was the boards decision. Let us leave it at that, Muirhead told ESPNcricinfo.Asked whether it was his appraisal that eventually led to the decision, Muirhead did not reveal much. I hired him, so therefore I have to release him but that is on the recommendation of the board, he said. He did point out though that the WICB and Simmons had been deliberating on quite a few contentious issues behind the scenes. The coach has an opinion and the board collectively had another opinion, and that had happened on more than one occasion.It is a whole number of things over a period of time. I cant say it was really one thing. There is no one thing that defines what may have taken place. I think things came to a climax when a decision needed to be made.Simmons track record as West Indies coach was mixed. Appointed after last years World Cup, the high points of his tenure were West Indies draw at home against England last summer, and the World T20 win in India in April. Importantly, the players seemed to be on the same wavelength as Simmons. But Muirhead and the board of directors remained unconvinced. Ultimately it is performance of the team, and we want the team to perform the best it can do, Muirhead said. Was it [doing so] is a question that is still unanswered.Technically, Muirhead was not Simmons boss. That was Richard Pybus, the WICB director of cricket. Simmons had mentioned in an interview that he and Pybus were not on the same page. Relationship is a difficult word, he had said of Pybus, soon after the World T20 triumph. He communicates via emails but he has not spoken to me since the suspension. Its sad because this is not about him or me, this is about West Indies cricket.At last weekends meetings, the board discussed several reports including the Cricket Report submitted by Pybus and the CEOs report prepared by Muirhead. Pybus report was an overall review of cricket across the Caribbean, not limited to the West Indies teams and coaching staff.Reiterating the lack of alignment in strategies, Muirhead said: It has been an ongoing thing where I think Phil, in all that he has said and done, he has not aligned… the relationships were breaking down. I think he himself had ideas for a different strategic approach, notwithstanding one already having been approved and adopted by the board. I dont think he was aligned with that.In a media release sent out on Tuesday, the WICB had pointed out it had identified differences in culture as one reason behind the friction between both parties. Muirhead elaborated: The other thing was the work culture was a little different. It was how we do business, how we execute things. It was an organisational culture. It was not the difference in ethnic culture as has been pointed out elsewhere.Muirhead said he had had conversations with Simmons, and he had to intervene on quite few occasions to resolve issues. The last time they had met was about two months ago, he said. When he called Simmons on Tuesday to reveal the boards decision, he said the chat was cordial and not hostile in any way.Muirhead pointed out it was a matter of coincidence that the Simmons termination was announced the day the West Indies limited-overs squad left for the UAE to play Pakistan. The sanctions and other things could not be discussed without the board meeting. We have board meetings every three months, where we discuss everything including the performance of the teams and the coaching staff. Tracy McGrady Jersey .

Paul Clement, formerly assistant to Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid, was removed from his duties on Monday evening after less than nine months in charge and with the Rams just five points off the top of the Championship. Phillips was appointed as assistant to Clement last September. Derby sack Clement Derby have sacked manager Paul Clement and replaced him with Darren Wassall The club have said that Wassall will remain in charge until the end of the season but Sky Sports News HQ reporter Rob Dorsett says it is possible the club may yet make a full-time appointment before then. Dorsett said: The news came as a bit of a surprise. It was quite a coup when Derby hired Paul Clement eight months ago. Hes been assistant to Carl Ancelotti at Real Madrid and PSG and he has built up quite a reputation around Europe. There were a lot of clubs interested in hiring him. Will Derby wait until the end of the season until they make a full-time appointment? Rob Dorsett, Sky Sports News HQ Chairman Mel Morris said at the time We have got to be patient but in fact, they gave him 30 games, they werent impressed with what they saw and decided to sack him. My understanding from my sources is that it was more of a disagreement behind the scenes, about the direction the club was taking, that led to this breakdown.He spent £21.5m on players but remember, the club sanctioned those sales. He has had problems with injuries and with Craig Forsyth out for the season, he had not had a recognised left-back.
