Nonetheless, After just two games in charge, of the notoriously hard to please club boss sacked Baxter. The Turkish-born mentor Ertugral empathised with Baxter’s predicament, having seen the same situation during his time at as a coach of Sivasspor in the Turkish super league.

“I think Stuart experienced a football environment that was very demanding and, as I said, sometimes unbearable,” Ertugral told Soccer laduma.

“Unfortunately I couldn’t speak to him, otherwise I would have warned him about what he was going to face.

“He went to a club where coaches have… let me say… no value. He has done so much for football and is a very good coach.”
