How many years counselling must the players have needed for not being told - amid common knowledge that it was on the cards and all but inevitable - and instead been given a good night out. How awful for them.
An yes, it makes all the difference doesn't it, slipping your resignation letter under the door rather than leaving it on the desk.

The 24 years of sour grapes is for what happened next - namely caretaker Gary Brazil being given the job full time with the full support of the fan base, probably because he was a nice man.
