“When I was appointed manager, Doncaster were firmly rooted in League 1 and promotion to the Championship seemed an unlikely ambition
He says that he was honouring his contract and we should have done the same? Someone mentioned it earlier about him going for other interviews. He was pretty keen to go for interviews and try and get these jobs yet appears to be bitter about us?He was a great manager but if you under perform as bad as he did in the final 8/9 months of his job in your own job then I think 95% of people would be sacked in any profession. If anything we gave him more than enough time. We could/ maybe should have got rid of him in that summer and allow Saunders/whoever might have come in to build a squad to stay up.

In fact, he's quite reflective about being sacked by them, and appreciates it's part and parcel of the game.His gripe is with the fact that he had a contract with Rovers. The contract was terminated, but he had to fight for his severance pay, which, presumably, he was contractually obliged to.He was on gardening leave, getting paid for doing nothing while his contract settlement was agreed

Just why does everyone think that everyone is motivated by money alone. Clearly here that was not the case otherwise he wouldn't have such rancour re. the events at that time.

Adkins was on gardening leave from the Saints. He's hot a new job, they now stop paying him and both parties move on. Why is this any different to the Sean situation?
