Alternatively,of course, any half decent coach will be aware of Pietersen' s fall outs with almost every team he's belonged to,want to form a team for the future,and decide an injury prone 34 year old with a history of causing disruption is not worthy of consideration.

Not the point being made.

Results make the tack justified. If England are losing badly, people will wonder why. Off field management has been a catastrophe.
For what it's worth, I'm sympathetic to Morgan who accepted a role he could succeed at.
But everyone else has a lot to answer for. On his first week of the job, Strauss leaked his intended sacking of Moores, to a sports news channel, while Moores was in the middle of an ODI. He showed scant knowledge of man management by telling KP he was not to be trusted, and then offering him a job coaching the team(!), and inheriting a scenario whereby KP was offered a way back into the England team, and then shutting that off again for no new reason. Concerns that Strauss may be too close the the players he is responsible for appear to be realistic.
