J.League reprimands FC Machida Zelvia and manager Tsuyoshi Kuroda for yelling at a specific coach and making inappropriate remarks - Domesaka Blog
Fujita: 'From the perspective of management, there may be some companies that would be grateful to someone who engages in power harassment, as long as they can produce results.

When this became a story in the weekly magazines, Fujita was furious, and I thought that if the president of Cyber was this angry, there must be some basis for it, but it turns out he simply trusted Kuroda, and the investigation was also sloppy in terms of compliance. More than Kuroda's fault, the club, including the top management, is a failure, and this should end with a reprimand... https://t.co/yTix53BDru
