He lost his place in the squad, reacted badly by posting about it on social media, was probably also quite vocal about it during training and around the dressing room. So Derek made the decision to separate him from the main squad. Harsh maybe but perhaps Bentley let him get away with things a more professional manager wouldn't.
Think you've summed up the situation quite well there WB. We used to love him winding up the opposition, the one time I remember him screaming at a manager was at Dave Artell I think - which I remember not feeling too happy about because nobody disrespects the Moose. Although after his reaction to the Phillips red card, I didn't actually feel quite the same. But...after how things ended with Phillips, Artell can scream at him all he likes
What irritates me more is the narrative that him and others have been portraying on social media, which is that Adams walked in, took one look at Ellison and sacked him off immediately. It's completely untrue - he was dropped due to there being better players, and still made appearances of the bench before his daft social media posts (and very possibly disruption in the squad) ended up with the bomb squad treatment.
