He has made mistakes but that's how you get better by learning from your mistakes. I personally think he is one the best young coaches around and we will move forward from the disappointment of this season.

For a professional results based club this is a poor decision; a contract extension should be the reward for excellent results. The club should have let his contract run its course when they can take a more reasoned and considered approach based on three seasons in charge. RM seems a good bloke but he has come up short this season so why reward the individual who under achieved (this season) with a further two year contract. By keeping him to his existing contract it would have least made him`hungry' to make it work next season. He is hardly irreplaceable (yet) so if another club comes for him so what!

Have any of you wondered that it is possible the BoD are protecting an investment? Who knows what is around the corner, did any one think Rowley would up sticks ( poached) mid season? Football clubs do it all the time, and if something bigger / better is offered to R M at least Fax would be financially compensated.
I M H O this is a win win, yes R M needs to be more astute in recruitment, a stable coach will help bring better players knowing the club won't change jockeys mid stream.

Couldn't agree more. Despite having most of the lads that took us into the middle eights last year plus a number of additional recruits he failed to deliver. In my view this was due to poor selection decisions, and the inability to pick his best team and stick with it. He messed about with the team for the first half of the season and we have had some of our best players sat on the sidelines for months and that must have been massively demotivating for them and the whole team. For me he has just lacked the leadership skills required to build a winning team.
In my view he has a lot to learn about man management and I wouldn't have rewarded his poor performance this season with a new contract

You can't really argue against any of that and RM does need to learn from this season's mistakes but....where would we find anyone better than him at the moment? Like the team, the coaching staff don't need chopping and changing, stability and togetherness is called for at this time so let's all get behind the lads for the rest of this season and look forward to a big improvement next year. Up The Fax!
