How would you deem success then? At the moment it seems that success is based on the vibe of the thing plus the fact he isn't Lyon.
The club can't have it both ways. I'd actually support giving him an extension now if they really did think internally our list is miles off and we need to spend a couple of years not focused on results but focused on development. That is when you do want a coach to be under no pressure and allow him to play the youth.
But all the rhetoric is the opposite. Fyfe came out at the start of last year and said he expected to play finals. The club has now doubled down on that. They obviously think we have a list to challenge. So it seems premature to extend him until he proves he is the one that can harness that and actually get enough wins, not enough good vibes or potentials. Get those wins then by all means extend him if we are sitting pretty in the eight by the bye or beyond next year.
