In terms of what he had going here with momentum, putting a squad together, moving us up the table, getting the fans back behind the club...........yes it is a bad thing.
As we well know its not easy to get a really good manager in so its difficult to see one go so quickly. So it is a bad thing but its not a killer blow. In terms of our squad, we still have one of the best squads in the league. in terms of our fans we still have the potential of one of if not the best fan base in the league. everything is set up here for a manager to come in and succeed in this league. its just easier said then done, to find that manager.
