It does seem odd to me, though, the conclusions that people jump to sometimes. I was once introduced to the a delightfully descriptive phrase about the Dumfries rumour-mill. I'm para-phrasing because it was a long time ago, but it was along the lines of - "if you fart at one end of the town, by the time you get to the other end the story is that you shit yourself". It could well be that the reasons for a well liked manager giving up a good job are as trivial as a fart, and any suggestions of shit hitting the fan are completely false. To keep the theme going though, I think what's annoying people is the attitude of the club, which is akin to blaming it on the dog and pretending nothing happened!

But if we assume that Skelton did leave for purely external personal reasons, what else could/should the club have said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took that "he could not see himself going on" meant that he could see himself continuing with the conditions in the job. Again, I could be wrong. I suspect I'm not though.

Why you felt the need to bump this thread, though, when its being discussed in two others Im not quite sure. Are you that desperate for me to be wrong?
