Looks clear to me that this is a predominately football decision, rather than financial, albeit much will depend if a new managerial team is coming in? To expect doolan and Mcdonald to make a major impact is undoubtedly a gamble. I'm hoping it will work, but ultimately this is the same group of players who have a very average success rate this season. For the record the timing of the sacking was abysmal, similar ironically in the way Doolan was treated.
