Well done Martin and the players and coaching staff you take all the credit yous have achieved a double when most thought otherwise myself included, if Martin gets another year this Tim won't be disappointed but the rest of the league will he's a winner pure and simple.

Guys, I agree that MON has done a brilliant job but is he the Manager to start a new era at our club. I am struggling to reconcile that.
I mean that in the nicest way as I think the man is just a genius man Manager to have turned this season around.
He came in and saved us twice from the same problem, the board and their acceptance of mediocrity.
Keeping him might just mean as a club we do not move forward and that would be exactly what this board is about.
They live in the last and keeping Martin would fit into that thinking and what we need is to move into the modern football world.
One issue I do have with him and it has nothing to do with his ability as a top man Manager is his continued use of the word owner when he references DD.
I want him to get a job within the club but I just don't think we will move forward in any way if he is the Manager.
I think his relationship with DD may work against him and him getting what he really needs in the transfer market to move us clear of the rabble again.
DD may use that relationship to his own ends.
Sorry if that sounds negative after what he has done but it is those behind the scenes I do not trust and not MON.

We all know with DD, money is king. However, even he must realise failing to properly invest in the squad will result in a much worse financial performance in the mid to long term.
Selling off our most valuable assets is not a new strategy but failing to properly replace them as we've seen over the last few windows, will end up costing us.
European failure can be offset by transfer dealings but not long term as we'll see a downward spiral into constant mediocrity. Other clubs with much less financial clout have shown that with a bit of ambition and decent recruitment strategy, financial and footballing progress can come hand in hand.
I don't believe DD has built his financial empire through luck, rather by making shrewd investments at the right time. Surely to goodness he can see what we need to be doing in order to strengthen both football and financial performance.
I guess the next few months will tell us for once and all?
