I doubt the ownership were patting him on his back for the season. My gut says he probably thought he couldn’t get us out and took an easy option to progress and probably thought it would be easy to build on Rob Edwards work, but footballs not that easy. I think they’ll stick with him, Dale Vince is a strange character and I imagine quite stubborn/defensive over his decisions.
He sent us backwards from Ardley. We went from hard to beat and gritty to a ponderous soft touch.
His only achievement was to rehabilitate Adam Chicksen. That's it. Getting compensation for him was great transfer business.
