Fans are far too precious - like being concerned about a City a few miles away. Wellens had something about him that worked for us, I'd have him back, couldn't give a shit if he'd pulled his trousers down and showed his ass on the way out last time.

Or maybe some people just are not interested in a bottler?

Same for me Rob.

If fans knew the whole story why he left then they might be more understanding and welcome him back

Exactly none of us know and many assume that they do

I still don't think anyone knows to be honest. I guess the latest chapter is that Wellens was pushed towards the Salford job so we/LP could get compensation from them. Wellens could have refused of course but it would have been an uncomfortable working environment.

Maybe, maybe not. But we can only go on what we do know and, going from what little knowledge I do have, I think he's a bottler. Fuck all to do with being 'precious' or whatever. I think the guy bottled when the going got rough and would likely do it again. Hence why I don't want him here again. "I didn't want a relegation on my C.V" Not a dig at you Jimmy, but there's an air of sanctimony about some and it fucking grates. But hey ho. It seems some people must know my feelings better than I do. Impressive, eh?

There is a whole footballing world out there. I don't see the attraction in hankering after a former manager.

Valid points Flasheart and even if he did come back I'm not sure that I would welcome him back but I'm still hedging my bets that there was more to him leaving than us fans will ever know about unless of course later on he wants to write a autobiography!

Let see hope that it's a different chairman going through the applicants

Seen as we all (rightfully) despise Power it’s very easy to construct the narrative that he forces Wellens to go or Wellens left because of a poor working relationship with Power.
That may or may not be true, partially true or completely false.
However, I don’t think it matters too much because I think Wellens would have still taken the opportunity to leave - even if everything had been good at boardroom level. Firstly because he knew he’d put together a poor squad and secondly for his family life.
