Good at it....get a better job.

No very good.....get paid up then get a job on the radio.

Surely there must be a case for a one year rolling contract only......you might miss out on a manager moving from a similar sized club but how often do we try and prize a manager away from a similar sized club....Jack Ross....although I'd argue Dee a bigger job....b4 that???.......Can't think of one.
This isn't just our problem Rross, but it does seem a nonsense if someone wants to be a football manager that they get themselves a contract and then there is no sanction available for failure. Perhaps the Shabba mutual agreement is based on some form of performance related element written into his contract. Totally agree about there being little prospect of attracting a manager who is at a similar sized club. Think, or more correctly hope, that this might change if we do manage to move into the new stadium and retain our SPFL status. Can't see any manager really being happy having his future tied to the antics of football players. Bosman seems to have shifted the power to the players in Scotland but in England SKY has kind of trumped that and made the clubs so rich that they can buy and sell the players and not really have to worry if they fail to perform.
