No I would imagine he will be sacked if we lose on Saturday and that Sheerin/Robson will be caretaker managers as we lose twice to celtic and the new manager in place pretty soon after that

I reckon he will get at least the next 3 matches unfortunately. We are stuck with him for the time being.

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.

Agreed but I can't see Milne having inserted those clauses.

Please remind me how lucky we are to have him after the St.Mirren match.

I think he's got a bit lucky with the Livi game being postponed tonight. If they'd won they'd be just 2 points behind us. There's a very good chance they'd end up ahead of us after the next 4 games. The fact it's cancelled gives us a 5 point cushion.
