Or it could be a means of placing trust in their manager and ensuring job security, so Butler’s thoughts aren’t distracted by his own future. Dean was let go after an extension, so this extension doesn’t mean we can’t get rid of Butler if he fails.
So what your saying is we gave him a new deal so he had ‘job security’ but in reality his job isn’t really secure as we can still get rid (and he knows that based on what happen with Dean) so really the whole exercise was pointless? Makes sense…
