    It would add up considering MON's reason for leaving, it couldn't have been something he mulled over for long.

    Because, as St Pauli says, I don't believe for a second it was released immediately. It's too much of a coincidence, someone definitely calculated that for maximum impact: if not the journalists themselves then their mole.
    You mention his reasons for leaving, but MON's wife had been ill for a little while. He definitely didn't phone up DD the night before to let him know, mate.

    Really don’t get how the media announcing O’Neill was leaving had anything to do with our * collapsing.

    Similar issues to what happened when Brendan left; except on the morning of the most important game of the season instead of February.

    I think the top managers talk about the importance of mental preparation for a reason, mate. If we were playing Manchester City tonight at CP and the papers announced that Pep was leaving and their players didn't know, I would be pretty happy TBH. We'd still probably lose, but it would definitely improve our chances.

    The two don't have to be mutually exclusive anyway: you don't have to give up your idea that we should have had enough to see off Motherwell even under those circumstances in order to accept that the timing did play a role and was probably calculated by someone (the media or the source).

    These things tend to have multiple causes, I'm not saying it's all the big, bad media's fault and we didn't blow it. I'm just saying it was a factor and that, given the timing, it was probably deliberate.
