@OfficialFFTV : Thank you for everything Dane Murphy - The Work you did to get up promoted can never be forgotten
@Tnewton_1988 : As much as it is a disappointment, people move on to throughout the business world. Dane has done an unbelievable job in the last 18 months to take the club to the position where it is now.
@elbosque_nffc : So long Dane Murphy. Thanks for the memories
@tomisonfire1024 : This is a massive shame. I don't think it was a coincidence of our upturn in fortunes shortly after this man joined us.
@JFKnight1994 : Not sure why people are surprised, was on the cards for a while.
@DannffcWillatt: Don’t like this!!
@halftimepies: Bigger clubs than us have had CEO changes, it’s all about who he is replaced by, I can’t see it being a poor recruitment given EM now sees us a PL club, I’m sure it’s all in hand
@mallyslife_: Thanks Dane for your involvement in finally getting us back in the Prem after so many years.
