Marcus has posted on FB this morning.. "new journey ' so maybe that behind the rumour not sure what is going on.
Could be anything really but I think you can understand why fans might read into that he has left. |

I have spoken with Marcus and all i can say is i think if people could give him a bit of space at the moment he would really benefit from that in the next few weeks. Theres no real blame here
He knows i am posting this by the way

Hope he’s well.
He’s a genuinely a really good bloke, who unfortunately has his demons. Hopefully he’s able to keep his head up.

We or most of us know that Marcus has struggled personally with certain things and these have been reported publicly several times.
He's a fantastically talented groundskeeper and the club has consistently stood by him - even when he could easily have lost his job.
What is most important though, is that Marcus' health comes first. Same goes for all of us.

He knows i am posting this by the way fair enough. I may be reading too much into it, but if it is due to the old demons surfacing I hope he can somehow overcome and recover. good luck to him whatever |

Assume that means he is still around but needs time to get his head straight, or has he left the club (by choice or at stfc request) and needs time before starting a new journey elsewhere ?
Who looks after the ground while he is having time and space ? surely pre season is a key time for the pitch ?

Didn't he have a younger lad helping him out / learning the ropes? Can't remember his name but seen him posting on twitter a few times last season maybe. |

You would like to think that Marcus had a plan drawn up for the next few weeks that the rest of the staff could follow.
Hopefully by then he’s ok to return (assuming that he’s taking a short break) or they can get someone experienced to come in and help out

Club could just contract out pitch maintenance.
Plenty of professional companies out there.
It's not something that the club can afford to cut corners on after some possibly not insignificant outlay already.
Looks as if most of the main work has been done.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

I imagine it will be as it's specialist job maintaining grass to a good standard. |

It's none of our business what is going on with him really, just need to trust that the club has got it in hand whatever the circumstance
