Similar to why I was shocked Jimmy got an extension in January, the expectation is promotion and the last thing we need is to be paying another 2 members of staff for a year if they are sacked this season.
Butler’s had a good start and I’m more than happy with the appointment, but an extension after 8/9 games doesn’t make much sense.
The alternative is surely just wait and see how we progress through the season before offering out deals.
