Sad to see IC depart but given results and performances it was only a matter of time. Certainly the best manager I have seen at the club, yes it was at a time when SC's financial doping aided things but certainly got the squads at step 2 and 3 playing above their individual parts. Unfortunately couldn't repeat the trick at step 1, not helped by poor recruitment in both seasons for which IC has to take some responsibility, particularly this season when he should have identified the glaring lack of NL knowledge within his set up and sought to bring in some help.
Don't envy his replacement - poor squad with probably very little wriggle room for strengthening and then a complete rebuild next year at step 2 when I would imagine we will revert to part time after offloading as many of the multi year deal players that we can
