Excuse my ignorance but is it an actual fact other than speculation that he was courting other jobs? People throw accusations around as it suits their agendas, but ultimately rowett was doing the business on the pitch which quite frankly was all I cared about.

Whilst we love our club, players and managers are purely employees who like most people in life will want to better themselves that's the way of the world

This. Interesting how after the furore blew up after Rowett's sacking, we started getting the drip,drip,drip of speculation, rumour and hearsay to blacken Rowett's name and appease the fans.
The owners weren't interested in grinding out results; they wanted sexy Italian football.
And since then it's been as disastrous as Elsie.

There was plenty of detail a long time before he was sacked. Published in the mail IIRC.

Fair bit leading up to it too.

IMO it wasn't only that which led to his demise, other reasons were there too, I think you are right about better football. That's one of them for sure.

As people said, lots of water under the bridge. Time to get behind whoever next picks the side, and the side he picks.
