The writing was on the wall after the halifax defeat. Should have gone then. Hopefully the club can now appoint a proper manager with national leave experience. Well the crowleys aint doing too well at portsmouth.

Finally we can get this season started! 100% correct decision to put Dave in charge and still time to fix this. LFG!!!

Sorry it hasn't worked for Rusk, as he seems to be a nice guy, but he had to go.
No idea about replacements though, will be interesting to see any names bandied about.
Good luck to Dave Conlon, hope he can get a reaction out of the players.

Been such a waste of a year sacking Jim. At least we can move on from rusk now and hopefully push on with an undeniably strong squad.
Pretty excited for the Dover game now, let’s smash them

I hope he goes on and does well whatever he does; wasn't the right man for this job. Hopefully they'll now find someone who is suited to get this team out of this league.

Whilst I think this is the best decision all round, I can't help feel uncomfortable over some of the personal comments that have been made regarding Rusk. I hope now we can all move on from this leaving the past in the past. It'll be interesting to see who the new appointment is and how much leeway some fans will give him. Also I have read repeatedly we have such a great bunch of (individual) players.......will they make more of an effort for the new guy or will it be business as usual; only time will tell.

Rusk has probably pocketed close to half a million quid for a 10-month job. I don't feel too sorry for him.

Thanks Simon for all your hard work that was never in any doubt It’s probable that this was never really a good fit for your skill set which hopefully can be utilised better elsewhere.

I just feel very flat and sad about it all. Sad for Rusk, sad for JG, sad for the fans. All totally needless and avoidable.
They just have to get the right person in now. Can't afford another mistake.

Good riddance, It's been some of most turgid football i've ever had the displeasure of seeing in my time as a County fan. Just hope they bring someone in who is strong enough to get a grip of these players & doesn't pander to ego's.

Real shame it hasn’t worked out but it was clearly time to go.
Thought he did well last season. Was always a poisoned chalice to take over from Jim so to finish 3rd with the best defence, best away record and most clean sheets I really did think he’d have us up there this season.
This season, don’t think he ever settled on our best team and he certainly didn’t seem to know how to fit in all the riches he’d been given. I think the pressure has got to him a lot this season.
I hope he hasn’t been scarred too much by his time here. Clearly a decent bloke who tried his best. I’ve no doubt he’ll get a lot of offers to go back to u23s/ youth football.
As others have said, a real shame it came to this when we had Jim in place and everything setup to succeed.
Feel this appointment has to go well for Wilson otherwise he’ll be the one given his P45 next time around.

Never like to take joy in someone's demise but had to be done for everyone's sake. Doesn't change a lot for me if Wilson is still there though But Wilson has to answer to Elstone now, so might not be so 'cavalier' with his decisions

On a personal level I wish Simon Rush all the best for his future. Seemed a very decent person and certainly did his best but the results and style of play necessitated change, if we are to salvage a play-off place.

Good riddance.
Worst manager the club has ever had.
Simple.

Thank god for that, I just hope it's not too late to do something this season, the next appointment is crucial, hopefully we get someone in who can actually manage these players.
