Disappointing to hear all these stories which come about as a result of a missed penalty at the end of season being able to watch a winning team. What if the lottery of penalties had worked for us, we would be looking forward to next Saturday. None of this ‘get him out’ talk. Let the dust settle before we make any hasty decisions , we have a habit in the past of changing managers regularly
We also might have had a better chance of a final if Dean didn’t make a poor team line-up, including an imbalanced left side and late substitutions. Of course, this is just opinion, but that didn’t help and is an issue which has been prevalent throughout the season.
We have a hasty decision to make, since his contract is running out in a month or so. Given the failure to achieve with one of the few full time squads at this level with the highest budget, coupled with uninspired performances for 2024 so far and many fans turning, I would say it’s too big a risk to offer him a new one. People might say that we should support the club regardless, but some on here and elsewhere are saying they may reduce their attended games because of him. It would be brave, maybe foolish, to offer him a contract extension in this context, when he has shown no success with a budget that should have seen us as performing better and achieving better results than we have. Especially since, if we underachieve again during next season. Patience with him will be lower and then we might have to think about paying him out of a contract because of a mistaken judgement during a time when we need as few costs as possible.
We tried this with Nick Daws, and it failed and cost us.
