THE 40-day reign of Tommy McShane as senior coach of Rosebud ended abruptly last week.
Club president John Grbac confirmed on social media on Friday that McShane had been “stood down”.
“I won’t crucify the guy because he’s a good mate of mine,” Grbac said.
“We’ve come to an agreement and he understands that.
“It was a trial thing really and Tommy was new to it anyway.
“He thinks it’s better for the club too because if he’s not getting the respect from the players then it’s time to move on.

TEAM formation, culture change and depth are the key elements of success according to Seaford United senior coach Peter Schwellinger.
The former Melbourne Knights, Richmond and Langwarrin goalkeeper has coached at Frankston Pines, Old Carey, Melton Phoenix and Whittlesea United and success has walked hand-in-hand with him in recent years.
Schwellinger took Whittlesea United from State 3 to State 1 North-West in successive seasons so he knows what it takes to climb through the leagues.
