So Mick McCarthy as representative of the club told Bamba straight what was happening but Bamba is hurt that one of the board who had spoken to him about becoming a coach didn't also speak to him?

I don't think he was released because he was coming back from illness, he was released because he wanted a player-coach contract but was a 36 year old who hadn't done it as a player since his injury in March 2019.

I think one of the board should have spoken to him as well but find it inconsistent when he says he found out via twitter he was being released and then later says Mick was always honest with him.
