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.
You asked why he's hated for being successful and going onto bigger things, which I gave my opinion that that isn't why he's hated. Him not telling the squad isn't about their feelings, it shows he's all about himself which to an extent he's entitled to be as the game likes to dispose of managers for little wrong doing. I just think people should have a bit of integrity.

To me he slipped out the back door and left us high and dry. If things were done correctly Pavis might have had chance to think about the next move and not be entangled in a compo chasing exercise with Bolton. It was an obvious distraction to us.

I don't care about Sam either way, I care about Notts County and although he gave me a cracking season to watch as a youngster he didn't show any care for us when he left so why should we hold him in any regard?
