Although I understand the reasons, it’s hard to not feel incredibly let down by this decision.
Whilst a manager can be out of a job after a few bad results, Manning has been given everything he could possibly need here to succeed, and we on the road to doing that.
I think collectively; the fans, the players and the staff; will all feel let down in their own way. To sell everyone a vision then jump ship 1/3 of the way into the season breaks his word and his promises. He doesn’t owe anyone loyalty due to the nature of football, but he’ll have to live the broken trust he’s left behind.
Only sliver lining is we get in Des Buckingham, and quick enough so that our season doesn’t de-rail.
