we won't be offering him another year so just move on and let Preston pay his wages.
if the long term aim is for Steve Morrison to take over, have him work alongside Mick, to bring in the kind of player that he wants then he can take over then Mick is out of contract. succession planning
The idea of getting Murphy back is on the premise that we’d be looking to play a style more in keeping with his strengths. It would be for half a season and if a new manager playing a different style doesn’t like him, then he could let him go. However, if it works out, then there’s the chance of resigning a player without a transfer fee. The alternative would be to fork out money that could be used elsewhere.
Given that Murphy has had to endure three hoofball managers, then I think that it would be worth a shot and could save money if it works out.
