Losing his mate & Gaffer in May
Dealing with the fall out ,

Goes back to coaching & shows his metal
With 7 points from 9 .

Good luck Rossy boy with getting back into
full swing of the 1st team coach role.

Thank you Ross for all you've done so far for our great club so far.
You've done a very difficult job with great integrity & left the team in good shape for the new man to carry on. Keep up the good work back in your more familiar role

The boy has done well.

He is a great fella with a positive outlook on what goes on around him.

We've sent Ross these comments as he (rightly) doesn't look on here.

Given our lack of success this season, it is remarkable the warmth the club’s fans feel towards Ross.
That is the quality of the fella.

Think it's fair to say the lack of success is due to the tragic loss we suffered in the summer. This isn't a normal situation and therefore won't be a normal season.

It has certainly contributed as there was rightly a pall of gloom around the club at the start of the season. However, our shaky start would have been tolerated less if someone with RE’s outlook wasn’t the pilot. Again, that shows his virtues.

Big Brother is watching.

Just watched his post match interview. Whatever his shortcomings might be as a manager, he has no shortcomings as a man. The more I listen to him the greater the respect I have for him.

As in Steve and I (podcast) And I meant we've sent him some of the messages on other threads.

Other than a blaming rather than taking responsibility approach to things, such as chucking people under the bus if they make a mistake. That's not just a managerial shortcoming.

There's a separate thread for that incident, but footballs a game played by men and men need to accept their mistakes whether aired in public or private. If a single mistake throws a player under a bus, then the game would have none left. No need to be dramatic about the incident.

Some dubious sorts on here as with any medium, but wouldn't say he 'rightly' doesn't look on here.

Good interview, good words.

You can see and hear the difference in him these last 3 games.

Yeah, pressure has come right off since then. He definitely made the right decision for himself as well as the club.

I hope now everybody accepts that he was absolutely the right appointment in the circumstances. What he has done for this football club is about so much more than 16 points. Whatever happens from here, Ross, thank you for all that you have done.
