Financial considerations may be a factor in whether or not the owners decide to stick with Maynard into next season, for all we know.
They will take everything, finances included into account.

If they find a better coach they will definitely factor in the fact that the current results are costing us money too. And the risk of going down next season is very real, and would be an absolute catastrophe financially and for the club in general.

I hope they are at least looking for a replacement right now because riding through next season with SM in charge seems like a huge risk right now.

Regardless, there are serious problems with the squad that must also be addressed. If SM had a solid defence there would be a far lower risk of relegation next season.
