Disgusted feel we’re back to the previous vicious cycle. At least we have kept the coaches but signing power diminished.

Carly Goodman ‏@Carlywarlywoo21

So annoyed about the departure of Dean Ryan. I thought he was fully committed to your 5 year plan?

Max Kelsey ‏@MaxKelsey23

Livid.

Club told us last week DR was staying.

Can't believe Dean Ryan has left, the future was looking so bright under him!

Question now is are we looking for another DOR or will we stick with Hogg and Johnston long term.

If the stated ambition is truthful than we must surely be looking to replace like for like or higher profile. Huge loss short and medium term.

Absolutley gutted by this news. I've never had such confidence in our DoR before.

Thank you for everything you've done for the club, Dean.

You've helped steer the ship onto a better course for which I'm eternally grateful for. Now, please don't raid our backroom staff.

DoR's come DoR's go Players come players go Some we want to see leave, Ruddock, Hill etc some we didn't Dean Ryan being one.

Whatever the reasons, whatever the outcome, let's thank Dean for putting in place the strongest foundation this club has ever had, and hope that the board back up this with the signing of a DoR to take this club forward with the coaching team DR has put in place.

He did seem very negative about the pitch, which I found surprising.

Some at Bath think he's headed there, I don't really care.

Maybe he's going back to broadcasting...he has previous for heading that way after chucking the dummy.

Either way, disappointing news, I really thought he had the stickability he professed to value so highly.
