I know it will be bloody hard and the timing is rotten. Look, it’s bloody terrible in fact but what can anybody really do ?
Treat someone like a human being? Give the man a couple of weeks off to grieve, to organise everything that comes with a family bereavement, to attend the funeral? I mean, is that too much to ask?
No, it’s terrible what’s happened to him. As I said before, I wouldn’t wish that on anybody. I feel for him, I really do.
I also feel for this football club though and don’t want us to be stuck in a situation where we keep him here for the foreseeable future which relegates us in the process just because we didn’t part company because due to feeling guilty.
I’m thinking of both parties, believe me. I know the importance of staying up..if we go down, that’s us pretty much finished as a football club.
