That's a very valid point...

Yeah the board have probably learned that that kind of deal can cost us...but if an employer said to you, here's a 6 month deal it would probably make you think that they are hedging their bets.

I don't know, I love the guy but it doesn't seem to be a footballing decision and that's what scares me about the board. It's all too 'friendly' - as with Grant, and talk of 'tears' when Roeder left.
