To be fair, I don't think he was told "ensure the players only perform well enough to avoid relegation - whatever you do don't get them challenging for Europe."Well, if he is given a mandate, and budget, to get Europe, a pot, decent football, and he reckons he has the ability to do that, then maybe he will be retained. Like I said earlier, he operated under orders this season.
If those orders are changed, perhaps he will deliver. I dont like the bloke, but, when all is said and done, he achieved what Moshiri asked him to do. And I am pretty sure these "chats" the two have had didnt revolve about how Sam will avoid relegation next season.
Given relegation is more of less avoided now, shouldn't the board be giving him a new goal of securing seventh place?
I like to think his future was agreed when he joined us. Either he's staying for another year or it's already been agreed that he'll leave after the season. I don't think any discussions will be ongoing.
