We've got some of our players away at the African Nations Cup and we've got to hope that they get knocked out early so that we can get them back. We want to keep this club going forward. There's no point, after all our hard work, in taking a step back.
We just think the gaffer deserves to be given something to play with and, we hope, that this will keep him here for another couple of years.
Nobody here would begrudge him the chance because he deserves it. But we hope it doesn't happen because we want him to finish the job at Bolton.
