I can’t speak for others but my reasoning in keeping Ardley for now is because this is his season alone to make or break his career. I don’t believe he was mainly responsible for our relegation, and I thought he actually did pretty well last year, all things considered....if only we had a chance to see how the season would have panned out without a lock down scenario.

This year he has his own players, a full pre season under his belt and the backing of some seemingly understanding owners. That these owners have given him time fills me with some confidence for the future whether with or without Ardley.

I understand why some people are so against him, it’s an emotional and passionate sport after all, but the common sense thing right now I feel is to give him this season....or long enough to realise that we aren’t going to go up this year, and then reassess.

We all now how sacking a manager after 4 games can pan out so I’m all for giving him at least enough rope to hang himself!
