Des isn't doing this to get fired. He's doing it because he has no choice.
Season is over, the Mbye & Reynolds show is fucked for next year, and if Foran deal goes tits up (or if we have an injury in halves) he needs to find someone reliable.
Not sure why he won't give Cleeland or Lewis a run though as I've been told by Cleelands Manager that he's Top 25 and not on match payments this year so 2nd tier will not be impacted. Maybe Steve Georgalis has told Desmond to fuck off and not touch his side
That's a potential theory.
