Instead, his absence galvanised and united the support in one positive voice that did make a difference and visibly helped the players. Even for this reason alone it was the right call.
You really don’t see Ricketts’ “have his cake and eat it” mentality, not sure why. As a football manager (specifically) would you apply to manage another club but then be like “but I still want to manage the cup game tonight, I won’t be here if we get through, but go on please? Pretty please? It’ll annoy people me being there but go on please?”
By the way what’s with this “I’ll give you a smartie” nonsense? Makes you sound like a patronising tosser...

Yes, whereas others referring to me as mental (an awful word to use in this day and age and more of a reflection on the person who said it than anything else) and asking what planet I'm from makes them look like utter gentlemen
