Davy , that is the whole point but I'm sure he will have an answer for the conundrum that was set.
I'm sure he will be lying in bed overnight formulating a response.
I have had to ask him if he feels Ardley is a good manager because I have never heard him outright say that he is a good manager.
He says the reason he should stay is because we keep sacking managers , not we need to keep him because he is good.
If he has then I've missed it.
And if he believes he is a good manager then why would he then be saying we need to get rid if he doesn't get him up ?
I have heard him agree that Ardleys football leaves a lot to be desired , and the same about his tactics and use of players etc
sometimes it sounds as though he's on board with the pitchfork gang to only go and spoil it and harp on about past mangers being sacked to warrant Ardley a job here still.
For me his circumstances have been good for a manager
A budget that allowed him to bring players in to fight relegation around 30 games in which to turn a relegation campaign around.(More than Sol)
A squad pre season that trained together , ok some might have signed late because of the embargo (giving a false illusion that we were ill prepared for the season) but these players that signed late were with us training and getting used to Ardleyball and his attack at all costs football !!.
And again another season where we have a generous budget and have made many signings as the season has progressed to cover injuries (a luxury not many managers have at this level)
Anyway it seems I'm still waiting for the answer to this simple question.
