What happens if we scrape into the finals this year and in 2008 the team really gels together? Do we still sack him? What effect would this have on the playing group? Possibly it would me far more effective to renegotiate his contract to a more reasonable level.

Im undecided about Pagan to be honest. I didnt want him in the first place but now that we are resembling a talented team with a future in the not too distant future and our current financial plight makes sacking him uneconomical Id like to see what he can do over the next twelve months before rushing into anything.

Yep, truth is that we can't afford him (even if he was any good) but for now we're stuck with him. A new coach now would cost us an extra $200,000-$250,000 a year for the next two year while still playing Pagan's current contract off. Getting a new coach when Pagan's contract expires would save the club around $500,000 a year. So we wait.
