That won’t be the case, Ardley was sacked when we were on the playoffs or extremely close. They will find out exactly what’s going off behind the scenes first. No one can argue with results since he came in, they’ve been awful but if they think there’s enough mitigating factors to give him a further chance then they probably will.Quote:

We got compensation from Swansea for them to buy out Lukes contract which had just been extended. To buy out Stu's contract from Wealdstone would have been small fry compared so there should be plenty left to pay off his contract if they so wish.Quote:

They wont get rid of him unfortunately - because to do that they would have to admit they got it wrong- whole organisations have gone under becuase of the stubbeness or ego of ownersQuote:

How do you come to this conclusion?Quote:

But in this case the best scenerio is they stick with SM next season and we under achieve- eventually sacking him after wasting one or two years, or the worst is we are dragged into a relegation battle, putting everything they achieved under threat ,and if we went down all the good work will be undone- and then i could see the owners pulling out.
One thing that has become evident in the last 20 years is that running a club in the EFL league 1 or 2 is no easy task, as we saw with the trust, Trew , Hardy and now the current owners. It is hard work for a club to break even , in fact up to 75% of clubs are running at a loss, only propped up by owners cash, the qustion you have to ask is what do the owners actually get out of running an EFL club, therte is no prsestige like in the premier ?
It depends what is in his contract its possible it could say we want to compete for play offs and as by points available we can still do that (We obviously wont)Quote:

Football contracts are way more complex then the average Joe.
That raise an interesting point- you could argue that Moyes is a decent premier league manager - but again following in the footsteps of Fergussen he was always on a hiding to nothing - unless he won the champions leagueQuote:

So the moral of the story is - its much easier for a manager or head coach to follow a poor manager than a very good manager if they are the next in line
