The sacking of a manager is a sad day for any football club. Sadder still that it's someone who has worked his socks off for the club he loves for nearly 20 years. Absolutely gutted he's gone, but totally understand why. Football is about results first and performances second. His position was untenable.
When the dust settles I hope people take time to reflect the job he did for us, taking up the challenge to sort out the mess left behind by two men who had dozens of international caps between them and reputations as big as their mouths.
We have a decent enough squad of players and a handful of promising young players. We are in a relegation fight and results have been poor. Les has paid the price. I hope the players can accept some of the blame.
No doubt we'll win the next three games under some caretaker boss.
On the other hand, I did see it on Sky, so it might all be bollox and Les might still be the manager.
