Jesus if players felt that way, where would football be?
Clearly we expect successful managers to commit their life to the club but be ready to be hounded out on any run of bad results. Whilst I admire Stu for showing his commitment he could be looking for a job down south again this time next year with all the disruption that brings for his wife and daughter. I suppose he and his family might have taken the attitude that he's got to give it his all and so not have separation of family as an excuse for failure.

A bigger club in or around South Wales might have been the only thing that would have taken LW away. OP67 would need to ask the owners as no doubt that was all covered in their discussions.

Man gets job, good at job, gets better job. Nothing to see here. Move on.
