And Bradford have replaced him with Lee Novak.

Sean Jarvis is leaving now. Off to be Chief Executive of Leicestershire CCC. Been here 14 years. Done a good job, I'd say.

Me too. Thumb up Never met him, but had the misfortune of a face to face with Clibbens once. Fortunately Lady Ann of Hough was also present so I didn't have to look at him all the time. Think I know which one I'm glad stuck around a bit longer, good luck to him.

They know a thing or two about ducks in Leicester, me-ducks.

Multi-tasking. I can listen, ignore and forget all at the same time.

Just heard that ex Town manager John Hasleden has sadly died this morning. He took the reigns at Leeds Road from Tom Johnstone then stepped down to become assistant to Mick Buxton and was a main player in some extraordinary moments in Town's history.
RIP. Sad

Former Town manager Mick Buxton has paid a lovely tribute to unsung Terriers hero John Haselden following his death due to dementia at the age of 76.
Mick said: "John made an immense contribution to Huddersfield Town Football Club and played a key role in what is generally one of the greatest eras in the club’s history.
"John might not have played for Huddersfield or come from Huddersfield but he poured his heart and soul into the town’s football club behind the scenes so he was a real unsung hero.
"I could not have asked for a better right-hand man. We really hit it off. We knew exactly what we wanted to achieve at Leeds Road and we agreed on exactly we were going to achieve our goals.
"We had a small backroom staff, which included Jimmy Robson and Steve Smith, and together we transformed the club.
"We were third-bottom of the Football League when we joined forces and by winning promotion twice and building three distinct teams we put ourselves in contention to win a place in the old First Division
"John went about his work with the minimum of fuss and I knew that I could trust him 100 per cent. We were always on the same page and even though we occasionally disagreed we clicked.
"What helped matters is that he commanded the respect of the players, right from emerging talents like Julian Winter and Peter Butler to seasoned professionals like Sam Allardyce and Joey Jones.
"Like me, John did not one, not two but three jobs, which he relished when we were together as trainer, physio and scout but it’s just a shame he got one salary instead of three.
"It's very sad but even though John prided himself on physical fitness, he was deprived a long and enjoyable retirement with his wife Eileen by dementia which is a real shame.
"When he should have been enjoying seeing Town reach the Premier League and playing golf, which he loved, it was very upsetting to see him develop Alzheimer’s and end up in a care after years of Eileen being an amazing wife and caring for him at home.
"John’s death is another wake-up call - it just shows the importance of the football authorities helping scientists find answers about the links between the game and this cruel disease.
"There are so many former footballers, people who mean a lot to me, who are losing their lives to dementia but for now it’s important for Town fans to pause and think about the huge legacy he’s left the club."
