Jimmy Sirrel not speaking to Les Bradd for two weeks after Bradd ignored Sirrel's advise and returned to Rotherham to be with his family after his father had died.
That's what sets the greats apart from the rest. Cruel and heartless it may be, but the best of the best know where their duty lies and I very much admire that dedication to the cause. It's what you need to get ahead in a competitive environment. Notts have been lacking in this mentality for many years.

It does for me too and I suspect 99.9% of people, which is why people like Sirrel and Ferguson are a very special breed and why it's going to be hard to replace LW, the type who cannot switch off and understands the passion and emotion of the fans in whichever way that passion and emotion presents itself, not always in the way you'd like.
If you want people fully invested in the club then they're going to bring all of their personality into it with them, flaws and all. I'd rather have that than go back to the cardboard cut outs of lockdown era.

Although, ironically, one of the reason the Swansea job was so attractive to LW was him being closer to family.
