No, idea, will just be one factor in his decision making I'd imagine. Closer and more time off I'd imagine as they don't play midweek or jet off abroad.

LegendofCoop 18,111 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 If it's family reasons for him going, then fair enough. I don't understand why they couldn't move up here, but hey ho. He gave his all and we've had some great memories with him at the helm (some piss poor ones too mind). I think things have been bubbling away behind the scenes....as not everything looked rosy. Time to make a change. Looking forward to a new broom! Thank you for 55 Gerrard and Co! JM1872 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonicWill 1,004 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Stop with the shite "rat" patter and hoping he fails. It's like a spurned lover upset that his ex has left him for someone else. We thank him for his service and the memories he created and we move on. The club is always bigger than one man and he left us in far better shape than we were in when he took over. We can be thankful for that whilst recognising that how he left isn't ideal. On to the next one and hopefully a new manager can galvanise the squad. Jamie29 and Inigo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
