Hmm. Couldn't one simply send Godefroot into retirement? Telekom is dealing with layoffs at the moment - maybe Godefroot would be a fit for Vivento too?
Now to be perfectly honest: sure, the cyclists have to deliver the cycling performance. Sure, everyone expected more from Ullrich - but he did achieve 4th place, that's definitely an accomplishment. And Klöden got 2nd place. And T-Mobile the team classification. So stop complaining, that's considerably more than most other teams will ever see.
The disputes, the chaotic mess, and the lack of direction, however, are entirely down to the team management. And that's Godefroot. He has to take that on his shoulders - and there's a good deal more professional failure involved there than in Ullrich's - perhaps somewhat careless - preparation. Ullrich only managed 4th place at the Tour for some expectations, but Godefroot finished dead last in the ranking of team managers ... I found the original article at Radsport-News.com.
