They should, but they won’t mate, they’ll just hide behind ‘it was a process’, maybe not even that I wouldn’t be surprised if they just shyed away from mentioning it again.

f***ing pathetic like, whole thing has been a clusterfuck.

Communication towards the fans is shameful, lot of people being paid and not doing their jobs properly.
 
Think he's a much better appointment than LJ and if I'm being honest to myself even Keane as I think he has been out the game to long and he would be in court for bullying the young players...

I'm not disagreeing with any of that my point is football fans are so fickle if we win the next few games no one will care what happened before.

No not at all are you ?

This time may be a bit different imo. They’ve made a catastrophic mess in the last few weeks. Promotion is gone aside from the playoffs. The new manager search has shown the club to be completely incompetent. Winning a few games should not change that. It’ll make little difference to our season anyway. We could win all 15 and it may still only see us in the playoffs.

Just reading up on rolling contracts, sounds like it means it's a 12 month deal which automatically renews for another 12 months at the end of the initial 12 month period without need for renegotiation. So basically, if he doesn't get us promoted this season and the club decide to get rid, he'd only be due about 6 months pay off. Apologies if this has been covered, I initially thought it meant he always had 12 months left but that doesn't seem to be the case. Have a feeling they're keeping their options open in case he doesn't get us up. Sounds a bit harsh because I doubt it'll be his fault if we lose a play off, but I suppose if both parties are happy to agree to it, it might not be a bad thing for us. If Keane was offered the same it would be an obvious reason why it could fall through mind

So would it end in February? Seems an odd time.

Actually think it’ll be more clinical than that. Often a ‘rolling’ contract set up would have a fixed term - a 12 month rolling often being a 1 or 3 month fixed period- and beyond this period enable either party to serve notice.

The way that they’ve presented this - and of course I may be wrong - is that any semblance of a long term contract will be discussed in the future (ie end of season when they can evaluate and see whether not having that flexibility is worth their while).
