Hope your right it has been badly handled though the club on these issues normally keep it in house if he is sold then they explain the circumstances of exactly why he left!It is indeed guesswork, but in the past few days your guess work has led to suggestions that he's being bullied, he feels undervalued and that we aren't offering a big enough contract (when the rumours are it 100k pw)
I think you're being a touch harsh on the club and/or you're trying to use this issue to dig out the manager, which IMO is a poor do, Ross isn't a pawn.
I'm going to be LOLing at all this crap when he signs that new contract.
