Samwam27 519 Posted January 19, 2017 And it showed that without Olive, we have no idea how to attack. No shots on target, and we''re devoid of quality finishers without him.When does Laffs contract run out. We''ve had him more than two years now, so must be close to expiring, else why not sever contract by mutual consent (which we''ve done on loads of occasions) to get him off wage bill. Poor chap just hasn''t had proper chance here, nor likely to. Jerome well past best before date!Desperately need fresh blood up front, and at back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dean Coneys boots 1,398 Posted January 19, 2017 That is pretty crap by any standard. How is AN still here??!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djc 0 Posted January 19, 2017 He is still here, as the board believe he will turn it around.and Ed gave him a £2m golden handshake contract, which they will have to pay if or when they finally decide he cant turn it around.In the meantime, pay your money, turn up each game, clap for a bit, go home at the end, and repeat next time.

A golden handshake implies that whenever he''s sacked he''ll get £2m, I don''t think thats the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 271 Posted January 19, 2017 While mcnally may have started the AN contract renegotiations its clear any new deal was signed during the close season; as such either ed, the stand in ceo or the BOD could have pulled the plug; the decision to proceed has moved on from McNally.McNally does have a lot of questions to answer about the state of the recruitment team which seems to have changed with the seasons under his stewardship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
