He'll see the season out imo. Unless it's a big, big improvement then I would imagine he'll be papped.
Yay!
If he’s going in the summer then he’ll know it now.
Nobody’s going to be interested in following up any leads on players he’s interested in.
Mind you, I suppose any new players on the agenda will have been sussed out a year or so ago, given how many transfer windows he works ahead.
Unfortunately I just don’t see us getting rid of DM , he’s got another year left on his contract and we are not looking too clever financially by all accounts. He won’t leave as he will believe he can get back on track for the holy grail of 4th spot and Europa league qualifiers.
However, if we lose convincingly against St Mirren there will be a lot of pressure on Cormack to pull the trigger , I just don’t see it happening though .
He will get a bit of a reprieve due to the fact the club have had to sell the proverbial family silver in McKenna and Cosgrove.
It is highly possible that for financial reasons he still may not go even if we pick up 0 or 1 point in the next 4 games - but I think that would seal his fate and he’d be gone at the end of the season.
I can’t see any way that he’ll be here beyond summer now though. It’s just a question of whether Cormack sees any advantage in punting him before then or saving a bit of money by holding off til then.
Does anyone know if managers can be sacked without compensation or reduced compensation for failing to achieve their targets? I would’ve thought that would be a sensible way of writing a football managers contract - something like “finish no lower than 3rd in consecutive seasons” or “reach a cup final at least every second season” etc and if a certain number aren’t met the compensation is reduced.
