'Imminent', eh?

Also - "He's earned the right to move on, in the way he wants to move on." Seems an interesting choice of words.

Talking about how Kieran travelled the length of the country to attend Ashton's dads funeral show the mark of the man we have lost.

I sometimes think we judge people in football with a really low bar.

Its nice that KM did that, but I would expect any decent person to do it. I suspect most of our managers (good or bad) would have done that.

'Similar' and 'thorough' process so wont be anyone in the door imminently.

If it takes 12 days to find the right man again I'm all for it.

I suspect he's being coy talking in the current tense. They've known he was leaving, so they are already well down the road.

I presume you've seen that Rob Edwards found out that he'd lost his job over social media?

Whilst that is an isolated incident I think that speaks to the transactional nature with which managers are treated by the senior leadership teams at football clubs these days.

Wether you like or dislike Ashton, it's pretty clear they had a bond that extended past Football and that's suited us very well. Had it not been the case, we would have probably been looking for a manager 2 years ago!

They clearly didn't have the same relationship.

But I would expect any decent person to travel to the funeral of a friends family member if needed.

Nice that KM did it, and it shows that they were close.

KM made his decision 2 weeks ago. Ashton has been visiting schools etc recently

I reckon all filmed over last two weeks. KM announced last night. New manager on weekend.

If the decision was made two weeks ago, what possible incentive does the club have to keep it quiet? It doesn't help recruitment, it doesn't help planning for the season, it isn't beneficial for Ashton and co. They'd want candidates applying.

Equally, in the world of social media and agents that news is not kept quiet for multiple weeks.

They obviously knew he was considering it but I suspect that decision was communicated early this week at the earliest.

KM confirmed he made the decision two weeks ago.

The benefits i guess of not announcing immediately is the circus that comes with it so the club could begin the process without the noise.

I didn't read it quite like that. It sounded like there is urgency too and it will be a matter of days not a week.
