I'm like a few others here, don't know whether to be happy or dissapointed. I was never really convinced by recent reports, specifically the one by MG that suggested he'd jump ship as of next season, so I didn't really get high hopes as it was.
In a sense this is relieving given the problem alot of our supporters have had with his overseeing of excessive, dangerous wrestling tactics, among other things. But lets not kid ourselves, he is a brilliant coach in today's game and would've ensured we'd stay very competitive in years to come.
On the flipside, you'd have to say Henjak is the favourite now, assuming he is still available for the job and not moving on. He's worked under Bennett for 12 years, is held in very high regard by the coach and the players, and would continue to preserve the culture and current work ethic at the club. Essentially not much will change at all, apart from the obvious extra influence of the departing coach.
So really its a ho hum situation. Dissapointed and happy at the same time that Bellamy's not joining us in the future.
As for suggestions of Daniel Anderson or John Lang, please no. Personally i'd gladly accept Henjak or Matterson, who I originally regarded as the front runners for the job.
