As title states due to health issues.

Previously had time away from the game due to depression so hopefully it isn't that again which has seen him stand down from his role. A subject quite personal to me as per my thread from earlier this year.

He's a good coach by all accounts, perhaps the slightly less pressurised position of assistant or first team coach would suit him better. Got to feel for the bloke, it's the second time depression has caused his resignation.

Are you and your dad ok anyway, he doesn't seem to be on here as much recently?

Good luck to the bloke. Wasn't doing a bad job at Swindon either.

The BBC image of Ling makes me think he should have a red telephone in a close proximity to him.

Couldn't believe how many ex-Albion they have there _ Kazim, Rogers, Barry, Branco, el Abd (on loan) and Obika at a quick count

Luke williams being there may have something to do with having Kasim, Rogers and Barry.

Personally myself I'm a lot better than I was, still not 100% but getting there Dad is also improving, he's taking a hiatus from being online for a while but no doubt he'll be back on here some time in the New Year

A decent honourable man, what he has been through is scary

That sounds horrendous, poor fella. Hope he gets sorted and receives the help he needs.

Horrible news. There is a lot to the story before there was a story, I know he'd applied a few times years and years ago and I think he even turned it down once because of his mental health. He was determined to be their manager, and he's done it. And done it well.

Massive shame it couldn't have lasted longer for him but he conquered his own mind to do the job, so congratulations to him and all the best in future, genuine sentiment from me there.

Also, very good to see you back [MENTION=4313]RM-Taylor[/MENTION], hope you're looking after yourself.
