I think that just highlights the complete lack of understanding towards mental health issues in this country.

To say he shouldn't be affected it by because he had a successful career is like saying someone with a successful career shouldn't get cancer. It's a disease and hit anybody.

Edit: Not a dig at you there Chris, there is so little attention paid to it that people can be forgiven for a lack of understanding.

What really makes it even more difficult is that he apparently showed no signs that he was suffering from it. I was incredibly difficult watching the Football Focus clip of him online, listening to him talking about the future and laughing and joking, knowing it was only hours before what tragically happened.

that's not it, it's hard to imagine when someone is depressed to that level, nobody is aware, not his close friends we clueless, I'm not sure about family.

It came so out of the blue. the fact he is healthy and has everything is something to live for.

His life didn;t have to end, it is hard to believe. He looked fit, active and healthy.

I know mental health can be a demon but to be depressed to that level you think someone would have noticed and helped earlier.

I think it's a credit to everyone that nobody is trying to speculate here, can we just make sure we keep it that way though.

I hate to see twitter and other forums full of theories etc it's just not needed why can't people just have some respect and think about the mans family.

because it barely makes sense. we find it hard to believe in the office.

he had the life we all dream and this, hard to understand

what you mean post?

Off topic but how can I post photos?? Can't see any help?

what you mean post? if you mean on here when you post (not quick post) their is a picture option icon.

Things are so odd that I'm in total disbelief.

You couldn't have written this crap going on, it's so untrue its not real.

Or to put it another way, our heart and soul.

Until today didn't even know the kit man had been sacked, I'm beyond mad about this, I need some chocolate and a few hits of lexapro to overcome this loss.

Why would the buck stop with Jensen, there has to be more too it, he must have wanted out or maybe been critical.

or Venkys believe in Kean so much that they want a better support network and Kean is here for the long term.

They acted on instruction of the manager, JJ carried the can for the poor start to the season.

You think maybe Jensen wanted out and Kean beat him too it to save face?

So within 12 months we have lost:

Owners

A Manager

2 Coaches

A medical team

A Chief Executive

A Managing director

Several other directors

Several other club officials

Accountants

Kit Sponsors

Kit man

Several decent players

3000-4000 fans

8 league places

Another coach

Several million £s paid to agents

To be honest, I think you could have left the kit man out, now I'm no expert on putting kits into bags and washing and then taking them out of bags and hanging them up. But I think it's a job that anyone could do.

is Kamy around what does he think

I have a feeling Kean is trying to save face and whats coming from the club might not be the facts.

It seems more likely that Jensen is saving his career by leaving now.

embarrassig for Kean if true:

A source said: “Things have been difficult for John and it was just a case of him deciding it wasn’t ­going to work out.”

Your own assistant doesn't believe in you then who does.

Mckinlay = legend

Why extend his contract in May if he wasn't up to the job?

because in Kean's deluded world he was expecting to be top6 probably and if he is not the problem in his deluded world then someone else is.

I really do think Kean is deluded to an Onkar Judge level.

Steve Kean right now reminds me of the kid on the playground who's dad is the headmaster of the school. None of the other kids really like him, but he acts like he's the bee's knees. They have to be nice to him, though, because of his dad.

it's different in England, you get respect if you are "hard" or have the "fittest girlfriend", the headmaster kid is normally a nerd.

If you watch the Arsenal game nobody was more passionate the Jensen.

If you watch the Newscastle game, Kean and Jensen were talking a lot more then usual.

So seems odd.

Could it not just be that JJ has been given the boot because he's not doing his job properly on the training ground and maybe hasn't connected properly with the players and got the best out of them? Certainly looks that way to me.

Imagine someone that had an unsuccessful football career, was sacked three times as an assistant manger and is currently in the relegation zone saying to an ex internationl Arsenal player who worked as assistant manager for Laudrup......

"you are not good enough to be my assistant manager"

I'm waiting for Zaccaius to say Jensen needed more time to settle in.

Not seen any comments but seems kean is defo unsackable!

how you worked that out?, if Jensen has left, thats enbarrassing for Kean, what happens now when Man city spank us, Jensen's fault.

Or does Kean want to be judge from now on, start a fresh.

The "Blaming Jensen" story is probably a BS story, if he was sacked it would have been mutual consent.

To me its likely Jensen wanted out, he was only on a rolling contract and he was no: 2 to a guy much less successful then him and useless so far.

How can jensen be blamed for results??? the buck stops with the manager surely??

Harford and Kidd were blamed for Kenny and Ferguson's success in the 90's.

Kean is to blame, no one else, what Venkys believe is another question.

john jensen has left to team up with laudrup elsewhere.

He hasnt been removed so kean will stay firmly in the managers seat

Oh I was right if true, well done Jensen you got off the Titantic on a lifeboat.

He might of decided that he doesn't want to be a number 2, it could be quite damaging to his career what Kean's doing and why should Jensen be under Kean, Jensen was far more successful in his career and even managed although flopped a little.

holly sh1t

what's next?

Cracking goal, pretty decent link up play by our top scorer as well.

he put it on a plate for him

great goal, looked Ronaldo like.

Rochina is a danger to his own team

Wrong time to introduce him
