Nick Dasovic redeux. Just shows you how this organization is run as a shit-show at all levels.
People with no future should be shown the door, not hung out to dry until their contracts expire or they quit. Gives credence to the theory that MLSE knew Winter had done enough to be fired much earlier but were basically waiting for him to quit because they were too cheap to package him out. When things got really bad, their hand was more or less forced.
I don't think it is a theory. Mariner's contract extension was leaked on May 3rd. Brennan replaced de Klerk in early May and Mariner joined the team in training at the same time. Contracts don't just get made up overnight, this had to be in the works in April. Mariner took over in June. (after Winter went 3-2-2 all matches in May).
This either says they were trying to force him out OR are just too ineffective to actually make a decision in a timely manner.
