Thank you for all your work for the club. For all the unglamorous work behind the scenes that has provided the platform for now and the future.
All the very best
Thank you

On the face of it that looks like overkill with the potential for an overlap of responsibilities, so I was wondering what kind of role Frankie had with you. Was he very much the first-team coach, which was what Phelan had become, or was he perhaps the kind of fixer or eminence grise that some managers like to have nowadays?
From all I have read here it sounds as if Alex Neil had done a fantastic job with you, so I hope whoever replaces him can keep up the good work. Good luck for the rest of the season.

Frankie quieter guy on the sidelines with Alex very much the shouter but his key role was in developing/encouraging younger players and those in the first team he had known for years.
I imagine Alex is taking him as he is a guy he knows and trusts - a friendly face among a lot of strangers.
