Can't really see that myself. The only reason that I could see that would provoke the sacking of AP is that the money spent during the season HAD to produce at least a place in the play-offs.
4 million £ is a lot of money for our level and it could just be that it had a hangman's rope attached to it.Ruthless to be sure but possible I suppose.
Although some of might surmise that he might be a man who isn't all that keen on spending money without it producing the specifically targeted results.
Those were obviously fake programmes put about by NC to make it seem like there was nothing wrong and that AP wouldn't be sacked on Wednesday, you know how he loves secrecy, come on man get with the conspiracy theorists.
