Doyle is Assistant until season's end

Sensible move, who knows could be longer term if it works.

Also suggests there’s no rift between the players and IB after what’s happened as you get the sense he’s very much the dressing room leader.

Indeed. If Doyle has managerial or coaching aspirations of his own this would be a very sensible way to put a toe in the water and perhaps make the transition permanent from next season as an official player/assistant.

It also forms a great communication bridge between IB and the players.
