Has he really done an exceptional job?
With the budget they supposedly have, winning promotion wasn't exactly a huge achievement was it? I know you can only beat what's put in front of you, but still it hardly makes him manager of the century.
The owner obviously wants promotion again. Edmondson clearly hasn't put together a team capable of challenging, whether he underestimated the strength of the national league I don't know. But the owner has now gone out and got a man that knows how to get a team out of that league. You can hardly blame him for doing that.
