Interesting post match chat with Rob Stanton. Basically -
Different opinions to some at the club on what the Jets need, and should be doing. Reading between the lines, as rumoured he asked for extra resourcing that the fairly new owners weren't prepared to provide??
No anger towards Newcastle, but some within the club need to stand up and share some of the load/effort. Sounds like he's feels he's been carrying an unappreciated burden - club was almost folding when he came on.
Acknowledges football is a results business, but he also really enjoys trying to take young talent to the next level.
Wants some time off from football, before considering his next move.
Came across as a really decent guy, and lots of dismay from the Jets fans and general football community he's leaving. A feeling it's one step forward, two steps back continously with Newcastle as a club.
