FGR did us more of a favour!

Looks like RR would have left had Burchnall stayed! So double bonus!

Excellent.

Just keep doing what you are doing RR, it is great to watch.

I heart Ruben

Just read that, sounds like RR was thinking the same as most of us that we weren't really progressing as a team under IB. Thank you Ian for buggering off

Blimey…. QED

Amazing progress, really, when you consider he couldn’t even get in the team when Ardley was sacked!

[laddo]

Indeed Stan.

He sure performed almost immeasurably better under IB than NA. He's now changed role, adapted and producing great stuff once again. LW or no LW, if Ruben wasn't at the Head Coaches services then I doubt we would be top 2 now.

That's a great piece. RR and Maca must be the 2 most feared players in the NL.

I believe Ruben when he says he would've moved on, but I think that might reflect what the squad think in general about IB's departure.

They gave their all to the promotion campaign, had key injuries for the Grimsby game, were devastated, and would know what we've all worked out - IB was committing to his new job just as we were preparing for that game of the season. To leave so quickly after the final whistle, I'm off to L1, you guys didn't even get out of NL to L2, see ya - might not have inspired all to think 'best of luck' even if they had to say it.

unfortunately, there are those who believe that was just rumours and innuendos.

to be fair Duzza, we'll never know for sure...
but, despite it clearly doing us a favour, there are some fans who can't get rid of that bad taste and I'm in that group with you : (
