I agree with your assessment on his abilities, I have been his biggest fan.
But all the work Poch has done, the total mentality change at this club is a direct result of building trust with the players, building an ethos that they operate in. Having an open door, for Rose or any player can talk to him, seek advice. Rose more than another player has utilised that outlet, built the strongest relationship with him and he fucked him. Rose has gone against all that was built, smashed it to ribbons and in response we just get down on bended knee, cap in hand, trousers round are ankles, arses raised in the air for him to fuck us some more. All its done is put a magnifying glass on a player that can no longer be trusted, true colours revealed.
BTW Rose hasn't apologised to the fans, he's just apologised for the timing of the interview that he planned. He was specific with his comments about the fans, he wanted to get that message across loud and clear, he thinks you and me are cunts.
Walker was a class act when he left, all parties happy (Manager, Player, Club). Personally I wasn't, as Walker was another of my favourites but he's a footballer, I can deal with it.
