I'm afraid that the club can't wait for Jeff to see if he can get something better or not, it could be damaging to pre season preparation especially since we have to probably work with an almost completely new team!
we were poorly prepared starting last season and we struggled early in the season with a much stronger side than we finished with.
Time for Jeff to sh!t or get off pot! If he doesn't sign up by the 18th he should be sacked, otherwise the club are risking screwing up pre season preparation and also having putting up with a media circus every time someone is sacked in the LOI, or in the lower leagues in the UK...
