Just clearing the decks for Alex Bruce. 

Is it not just a case of he was put on gardening leaving a few months ago and now he has officially left?

That's how I interpreted the original article when it was first announced

Talk on the Facebook comments is that his wife made some complaint about the treatment of the young'uns - including their own son - stuff about bullying or bad medical/health advice, and as a result he was placed on leave.  As usually with Facebook comments, may be entirely made up.

Wonder whether Ben Dawson or Mark Atkinson might step up, both have a decent reputation for coaching, think Atkinson left the Mackems to come to us. 

Not sure how the structure was before but i presume Atkinson worked to Dawson who reported to Joyce as Academy Manager

Even the young lads play Bruceball. He's rotted throughout the setup.

It is incredible. Like watching the seniors prior to Joes. No posession until we are 3 down, so slow, no real clue about how to build up and waffle around passing backwards and around. Who said Bruce's teams didn't have identity. He has built a style through all age groups of shitness.
