What always makes me smile/frown with this discussion is the hatred that comes through on numerous posts. Either channeled through Ardley out or aimed at other posters with opposing views, which then descends into personal insults.

Whatever your opinion on Ardley is, I think it’s fair to say that NA works incredibly hard and any short givings are certainly not due to his work ethics.

In terms of in or out. The owners stated at the beginning of their stewardship, season 1 was about consolidation and season 2 was about promotion. If promotion isn’t achieved this season, I don’t believe NA will be in charge next season. This approach sits fine with me.
