Franklin gone

For me this says it all. Franklin appears to be unpopular with staff and players, not just the supporters. Our results this season speak for themselves.

Yup it will all come out now but there has been a lot of stories this season about unrest/disagreements. I refer back to the members forum he wasn't comfortable answering any questions
 

I’ve been out all day and only just caught up with this news. Can’t believe I missed it. What took so long! I’m only sorry that we’ve already lost several good and promising players who could have been encouraged to stay to the Club’s benefit. He hadn’t a clue how to get the best out of them and ‘lost’ them in the process. Performances have definitely dropped as a result. There will be unseen celebrations among the squad but I expect them all to toe the corporate line in public. This announcement also comes too late to attract many of those who might have been available to us, having already signed elsewhere. It is so frustrating. Much damage done, but at last some promising news and the recovery can begin.

Funny how our captain is big fan of him

"He has been completely dedicated to the club since his first day in post" - I'm still in shock with this statement from North and if really believes this then he himself needs to go because he hasn't got high standards for commitment to the club.

When I first read it I thought it was one of those spoof newspaper articles you can find in every issue of Private Eye.
 
At least the rebuild can start. The 'tribute' in todays Sunday Sun to JF was way off the mark. It focused fully on the development of players and made no reference to our appaling showing this season in all three competitions.
It even mentioned our 2021 final as a highlight, while he was at the hundred.
We move on and hope for better tiimes.
 
Untenable after this season, won't be missed.

Not sure anyone is ready or qualified to step up, so hope they recruit well.

I'd be creditting the likes of John Windows with praise of development. The club statement was embarrassing and for me highlights the poor standards the club clearly set themselves hence North and others need to go asap
