For me the cost of dropping out the league would cost more than letting JD go. Alternatively if he loves the club as stated , support his Next course and give him a role within the structure. But not as the manager. He knows it’s too much for him , the players do and we see it.
As a supporter for 30 yrs we need a tested loyal manager to push us up the league before we disappear from the minds of 2000 fans we have gained since coming back into league footy.
