Well if they said MW knew that our aim was x and he fell short of meeting this remit that would be something wouldn’t it?.
Remember it was a member of the hierarchy that released the statement at the beginning of the season alluding to the slow progress and that MW would be given the time to see it through (or similar).
If the club had said that our aim is play offs or similar and he knew it and failed to get the right players in to do this then I would agree with his sacking.
It’s that simple.
It was obvious he was falling short of his remit. No manager in the country would be surprised if he was sacked when he’d lost more than half of his games and had one of the worst defensive records in the division. From what DT said, the club became increasingly concerned and frustrated at the lack of any progress in these areas, so it wasn’t as if MW wasn’t aware that things needed to improve. As I’ve said before, if he complacently thought his job was safe given those failings then he only has himself to blame.
