The promtion will need and do what is best for there business end of story, it will upset some people and please others. In Nick they have a proven track record what he brings to the team/supporters. With Ty coming back from injury and pre season meetings completed could they afford not to bring Nick back?.
As said the decision I suspect was not taken lightly and if they feel other decisions have to be made in the future I'm sure Gary will not be frightend in making those decisions.
