    Who else would you put in caretaker charge then?. Trueman will be running the training I suspect and McDonald managing the players.

    There is no one else at senior level left

    Suggesting it's only a "bad couple of months" is short sighted imo.

    Reaching the play offs was only ever papering over the cracks imo and he never once in 18 months looked like building a team that could achieve the sustainable performances we'd need to progress.

    Other that it's Gillead so I'd absolutely go Smallwood and Pattison.

    That makes the “We thank him for all the memorable moments” bit of the official statement slightly baffling.
    I can’t remember any at home.
    Couple of away games but as you say nothing where we thought it was at a sustainable level of performance.
