@durno1107: "Whatever fans think at the moment we now need to unite as one and get behind Jesse and the players.

"Marcelo will always be in our hearts and never forgotten."

@cjcmacleod1980: "I like everyone has been so sad about Marcelo leaving.

"He made us all believe again after so many years in the wilderness and will always have a special place in the club's history.

"While we can hurt, now is the time to all pull together and do our bit to help the team stay up."

@Nickybaldwin83: "He’s respectful to the past and Bielsa which is good to hear and a good move, but also upbeat and confident about the future and task ahead.

"Marching on together."
