Big loss for us, but if we bring in another good coach then all will be well.

They have just hired a new sporting director from Barnsley, the first thing he did is hire Eric Ramsay as manager (he was very highly rated coach there). Clearly they have a project , it's probably financially better than Cov and living in US is closer to family in T&T and I'd imagine a nice place to live. Fair play...

Wasn't he coach at Man United?
Wasn’t Ramsey a coach at Man Utd?

Fair play to him. But now it’s an opportunity to get someone else in with fresh ideas.

Perhaps he'll coach them on how to stop a long throw being headed in for a goal ???

So it sounds like it wasn't really about the club's offer but just that a better one has come in

Come on, we know it will be a HUGE falling out, king and vivash came to blows over it and robins told them to shove it.

Good luck to DL, a loss. But I hope we have our ducks in a row - don't want a hole in coaching team at this critical time of season?

We've had a month to get the feelers out, shouldn't be problematic?

Yes, sorry Typo... forgot to add Man Utd! The DoF is Khaled El-Ahmad who was at Barnsley.

Be a big miss, but I think some changes to hear a different voice and new approach sometimes not a bad thing to freshen us up.

Forgot that he was stand in manager for that Sheffield United game, probably one of our best performances ever at the CBS

So, rather than a fallout or any drama, he got a promotion?

Good opportunity for him, fair play, I'm sure between MR and DK they'll identify a good replacement to come in

Not major drama but he did want a new contract and Doug dragged his feet. Dennis put the feelers out in the meantime and up popped this opportunity

Wish him all the best hes been great for us

Adi is Head Coach, so there's always going to be coaches under him getting better positions. I think defensively we have done quite well with set pieces, but can't remember a bunch of goals we have scored from corners and free kicks in all honesty.

Tbf, I don’t think we’ve defended the box well enough this year. That’s more down to personel than coaching staff.

Like any of us would do in any normal workplace scenario (swap contract for promotion, for some)

Good luck to him

Thanks for everything Dennis, by all accounts done a really good job.

This is just something that will happen to a successful club, we'll lose good coaches just like we lose good players. All we can do is trust MR and the team to be dynamic and get the right replacement in. I'm confident they will do.

Yep good luck DL. Proper changing of the guard with him and "older guard" going. Change can be good however, and we should be looking now for the next level of coach.........(that is in no way meant as a slight towards DL either - who's been excellent by all accounts and much loved by players)

I really hope not.

We should get the best defensive coach we can attract not an appointment based on sentiment.

I heard that Todd Kane shagged his Mrs, that is why he is off.
