He'd only been in the job for two months.

He walked actually, due to players being released against his will.

Makes you think.

His leaving tweet was quite brutal. I wonder if Cookie has copied and saved it.

He was their Head Coach. As TM says, he wasn’t happy with the way the club was going about things and releasing their best players.

He put out a statement on Twitter to this effect.

The manager, Kevin Wilson, remains in post and is universally detested by the fan base.

Winning the league cost Flybe £1.6M last season.

There’s some interesting posts on Twitter showing the published accounts. The owner/Chair is owed £3.27m and has been bankrolling them for a while. 

They didn’t ‘win’ the league per se; he bought it.

And after all that "investment" they've mostly struggled this season!

To his credit he’s built a fantastic stadium and sports complex.

But they're another club in the middle of nowhere surrounded by bigger clubs. Another wealthy businessman's pipe dream.
