Surely you of all people would hope that the higher up were less than satisfied with the performance of the team post 2016 given your comments since then. I think it would have been communicated that the club needs to be producing better on field results.

Bevo also knows that there's only so much time you can spend losing before people get impatient. In fact people here were calling for his head. Even if Grant was telling him he's safe there's only so long the club can keep an underperforming coach on board if the fans want them out.

The club was probably saying they intend to resign him at the end of the year but he knows that these factors could well mean that doesn't happen. Therefore he'd feel vulnerable.

I would be concerned if we had a coach that no other club was interested in.
