If you look at most of the replies & a lot of the lads’ reactions on the bus, you can tell I’m not the only one who thinks this isn’t just immature, but also bullying. Scrolling through the rest of his posts around that time also remind me of how he acted. He often talks about how there shouldn’t be this pressure on men to be “alpha-males”, yet this is him proving he is “the boss”

1) You were never the “Manager” Kev
2) Any need to post this on social media?
3) No attempt to rekindle any sort of relationship with the gaffer
This reply is one of my favourites!! https://twitter.com/skybluestacey/status/1221077171004940288?s=21 Look where we are now without him, compared to where he’s ended up, with a much larger budget there!
https://twitter.com/kevin11ellison/status/1228691703915274240?s=21 Another bit of light-hearted ‘banter’ of course - but what gives him the divine right to be in the match day squad?!
https://twitter.com/kevin11ellison/status/1233372405931835398?s=21 It’s well-known that he was unable to train on astroturf, so why is he acting like the entire training schedule should be ripped up to suit his needs over the other 20-30 lads.
I get the entire situation is much more complex than this, but anyone could surely recognise that some of these actions are dreadful, and have since brought the entire club into negative press...
Does any of this make him not a club legend? No, he was with us for nearly a decade, scoring a load of goals (some very important & impressive ones at that!).
However, what I want is for everyone to have all the information they need to make a fair and balanced judgement on the situation, and without seeing these outbursts, I don’t think you can make such a judgement. Equally, we haven’t heard DA’s side of the story, so we’ll likely never really know the whole situation.
