Best Of

I just think it came down to a better job, more money and a chance (and they don't come along often) to manage at a higher level. Nothing more. No conspiracy, no fall outs, just a guy wanting to better himself and on a 3.5 year contract securing his family for a good while too.

And for that I say thanks Matt and good luck.

I also say I look forward to seeing what Dan and his team do in the future. I have met both Dan and Matt a handful of times and found them intelligent and good company. It might be that two decent people have chosen not to work together.

Wouldn't be the first prick we've had as a manager

This regime feel like the worst side of the business world to me - corporatespeak about "culture" on the surface, passive aggressive beneath it. To basically make Blooms so uncomfortable in the role and then be "disappointed" he has chosen to leave (and be willing for fans to potentially blame Blooms) sums it up.
