When Baird signed up we had no idea where we'd finish so to offer anything other than a short deal would have been foolish. Relegated, lower crowds, reduced sponsorship but (relatively) hefty wages to maintain? Longer deals are risky for a club like ours because we can't be sure of a healthy finish. We don't need commitments hanging round our necks when we have no stability. Baird and Cardle will be replaced and we rebuild, like we all know we need to. And we will still be in business.
