Bennett's influence, his legacy, runs so deep in this club. It can't be overstated enough. I think Seibold completely underestimated that, and probably thought he could overcome it. Obviously not. I don't know about others here, but it's sort of immediate, unconscious for me, when I hear Bennett's name the first thing that comes to my mind is the Broncos, even though he is at the Rabbits.
The Board is to blame for this mess, not least being their failure to prepare the ground for a transition from Bennett. Giving him that extra year would have been a sound strategy to transition to something new and different. Ill will is a festering sore. The Board is responsible for this
