The club said it wasn't based on results, so we have to accept it wasn't based on results as we know nothing different.
I'm not saying different either, what I'm saying is the timing of it may have been affected had County been sat top of the league.
Whatever was the issue will still have been the issue but given we don't know what that issue is, sacking your manager when top of the league garners a lot of attention and scrutiny. Who knows if they'd have delayed their decision until a later time?
